Psychosexual therapy is a form of talking therapy that focuses specifically on sexuality, sexual function, desire and intimacy. Unlike general counselling, it draws on specialist clinical knowledge about human sexuality including the psychological, relational and physiological dimensions of sexual experience.

Psychosexual therapy isn’t only about sexual function. It encompasses the full breadth of human sexuality: identity, desire, relationships, shame, compulsive behaviours, kink and everything in between. If it relates to your sexuality, it belongs in this space.

Psychosexual therapy is talking therapy. Sessions take place via video call or in person and involve conversation. There is no physical contact, no demonstrations and nothing that would make you uncomfortable in a clinical setting. If you’ve had any uncertainty about what this kind of therapy actually involves, that’s entirely understandable and the answer is simply: we talk.

Psychosexual therapy is for individuals, couples and polycules. You don’t need a diagnosis, a referral or a particular level of distress to come. Some people come with a specific concern they want to address. Others come with a vaguer sense that something in their sexual life isn’t working for them. Both are completely valid starting points.

Where sexual concerns have a physical or medical dimension, psychosexual therapy works alongside medical treatment. If you’re already working with a GP or specialist, therapy can complement that care rather than replace it.
