Psychosexual issues
At ProTherapy we provide a professional and confidential environment for identifying and resolving sexual difficulties. Our sex therapists are certified psychosexual therapists trained with Relate and abide by the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT) codes of ethics and principles of good practice. We work with all sexual issues and welcome clients whether individuals, couples, married, unmarried or same sex relationships.
Sex can be fun, exciting and a time of intimate closeness. However, if you are troubled by a sexual issue it can be a time of high anxiety and stress. Psychosexual counselling works on the underlying causes of sexual difficulties, which are often based on stress, performance anxiety, intimacy issues, depression, boredom or problems in the relationship. Psychosexual counselling will help to uncover the sources of the problem, gain insight and develop techniques for overcoming the difficulty.
Some of the difficulties clients may bring include:
- erectile dysfunction
- premature or delayed ejaculation
- loss of sexual desire
- orgasm difficulties
- painful intercourse
- lack of intimacy
- sex avoidance
- sex addiction
- pregnancy and post-natal
- menopause
- sexual orientation/coming out
Psychosexual counselling addresses both the symptom and underlying cause. A structured treatment programme is offered, usually on a weekly basis.
Benefits from psychosexual counselling may include:
- Greater understanding of the underlying causes of the presenting issue
- Increase in intimacy
- Increase in insight and a tailored programme to work with your difficulty
