What is Psychosexual Therapy and Relationship Therapy?
It is important to understand that I am still training in this field however I am classed as able to practice.
Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy explores the emotional, psychological, and interpersonal aspects of our sexuality and relationships. It goes beyond simply addressing sexual function to understand how our past experiences, cultural messages, and emotional states influence our intimate lives. Psychosexual and Relationship therapy helps individuals and couples uncover and overcome obstacles that hinder authentic connection and sexual satisfaction.
What to Expect
Psychosexual therapy is distinct from typical therapy so it is important to mention if this is the direction you would like to take. It begins with a comprehensive intake that is specifically focused on psychosexual and relational matters. During these sessions, we explore your unique experiences with intimacy—whether you’re dealing with compulsive sexual behaviour, sexual shame, infidelity, or navigating the dynamics of kink and BDSM relationships. I then develop a tailored formulation for your treatment, guiding you with practical strategies, communication tools, and creative exercises to build a compassionate connection with your authentic sexual self.
Who Might Seek Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy
This specialised therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals and couples who:
