Counselling for Sex and Intimacy Issues
Sex, intimacy and well-being
Sex and intimacy are an important part of life.
A satisfying sexual relationship can promote self-confidence and feelings of well-being.
It is often an area that is overlooked as many people do not realise it is an important contributor to your general health.
We make it easy for you to discuss your situation…
Many people experience a degree of sexual difficulty at some stage in their lives.
All too often, embarrassment or not knowing where to turn can prevent individuals or couples from seeking help and finding solutions.
Our therapists understand this and, in comfortable surroundings,make it as easy as possible to discuss what you are experiencing.
What causes sexual difficulties?
Sexual difficulties may be a symptom of a relationship in trouble.- or a cause. Other times, people can feel the relationship is perfect but the sex “doesn’t work” or “the spark has gone”.
Sexual difficulties can also relate to a specific behaviour which is causing distress – for example, addiction.
Work stress, health problems, childbirth, bereavement, redundancy, menopause, ageing or poor body image may also impact desire and satisfaction.

- Erectile Problems
- Early or delayed Ejaculation
- Sex addiction or addiction to pornography
- Pain during Intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Difficulties with penetration/being penetrated (vaginismus)
