Psychosexual therapy can improve relationships
Sexual problems may be longstanding, or related to more recent events which have caused stress, confusion or unhappiness.
We are open to help individuals, couples and online
Whether you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual or transgender, if you are experiencing problems or difficulties in your sexual relationship, our psychosexual therapists can help you resolve them.
This service is often referred to as sex therapy, however what we offer is a slightly different.
Which issues does psychosexual therapy help with?
The following are some of the problems we address:
breakdown in a couple's sexual relationship
loss of sexual desire
painful intercourse
difficulties with orgasm
arousal disorders
erectile dysfunction
premature or delayed ejaculation
How can psychosexual therapy help?
The support you get is specific to you.
People gain a range of benefits from psychosexual therapy depending on their needs and the difficulties they bring. Talking about sexual problems can seem daunting, and most people feel really relieved to discuss the problems that may have been bothering them for some time and this, in itself, can have very beneficial effects on your sex life.
For other people a structured programme of help can resolve problems with painful intercourse, difficulties with orgasm, arousal disorders, erectile dysfunction and premature or delayed ejaculation
How do I get psychosexual therapy?
We can see you at either one of our two central London centres or online. You may decide to come with a partner or on your own.
Once you've booked an initial appointment, you will be seen by an experienced therapist, with further training in psychosexual therapy who will initially discuss your difficulties with you and how best to proceed.
Psychosexual therapy treats the causes as well as the symptoms. In weekly sessions you will have the opportunity to explore why a problem may have arisen and, where appropriate, your psychosexual therapist may offer a specific treatment programme to help you overcome the difficulties you are having.
Fees for psychosexual therapy
The fee for ongoing psychosexual sessions will be discussed and agreed. We have appointments available at standard rate upwards.
Success stories
I would recommend marriage counselling to any couple. Our treatment was incredibly helpful for our marriage now, and preparing us for the future together. Thank you.

How the counselling process works
You can choose to attend with your partner or alone. At this session you’ll have the chance to talk through any concerns and ask any questions about how the counselling process works.
People generally find this initial consultation very helpful. If you then want to take things forward, we’ll agree a time that works with sessions delivered on a weekly basis. You can read more about the counselling process here.
