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:

  • Struggle with sexual shame or feel disconnected from their erotic selves.

  • Experience relationship challenges such as infidelity or difficulty communicating intimate needs.

  • Are exploring non-traditional sexual dynamics, including kink, BDSM, or the unique experiences of sex workers.

  • Face compulsive sexual behaviours that impact their personal or relational well-being.

  • Seek a deeper understanding of how their personal history and cultural background influence their sexual identity and intimate relationships.

If you resonate with any of these experiences and are ready to build a more authentic and fulfilling connection with yourself and your partner(s), I’m here to help.
