Frequently Asked Questions

Find The Answers You Need

What is psychosexual therapy and how can it help me?

Psychosexual therapy is a specialised form of counselling that helps individuals and couples explore and resolve difficulties related to sex, intimacy, and relationships. Whether you’re experiencing a lack of desire, erectile dysfunction, painful intercourse, or emotional barriers to intimacy, psychosexual therapy offers a safe and non-judgmental space to understand the root of the issue and work towards healthy, fulfilling sexual relationships.

Do you offer psychosexual therapy for all types of relationships?

Yes. I welcome clients from all adult relationships, including couples, multi-person partnerships, open relationships, and those across all gender and sexual identities. My approach is inclusive and affirming, supporting you in exploring intimacy, communication, and connection in ways that respect your values and relationship style.

Can counselling help with both relationship and sexual issues at the same time?

Absolutely. Many sexual difficulties are connected to relationship dynamics, communication challenges, or unresolved emotional issues. As a relational counsellor and trainee psychosexual therapist, I integrate both perspectives to help you address the emotional, psychological, and relational aspects of your concerns—whether you’re coming as an individual or a couple.

What kinds of issues do people bring to psychosexual therapy?

People seek psychosexual therapy for many reasons, including low libido, performance anxiety, sexual pain, body image issues, difficulties after trauma or abuse, and mismatched desires in relationships. It’s also helpful for anyone wanting to deepen emotional intimacy or explore sexuality in a safe and supportive environment.
