Psychosexual therapy – individuals and couples
Psychosexual Therapy
Sex and intimacy difficulties can impact our confidence, closeness and relationships. I offer specialised psychosexual therapy to both individuals and couples in Tavistock, St Austell and Lostwithiel that can help with difficulties such as desire discrepancies, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus, pain during sex and performance anxiety. Sessions are collaborative, respectful and paced in accordance with your needs.
What does psychosexual therapy involve and who is it for?
Sexual difficulties are common but can be difficult to talk about contributing to the distress we feel when things are not right but we feel paralysed to do anything. Many people feel shame and guilt or anxious and couples often struggle to communicate about intimacy leading to conflict and withdrawal.
Psychosexual therapy offers a specialised space to explore these difficulties with care and professionalism.

Understanding what lies beneath
Psychosexual therapy supports you to explore what may be happening beneath the surface, reduce pressure, improve communication and develop a healthier relationship with sex and intimacy.

- Reduce anxiety and pressure around sex
- Understand triggers, blocks and behaviour patterns
- Improve emotional safety and intimacy
- Strengthen communication in relationships
- Rebuild confidence and connection with your body
- Develop practical tools to support change

Is Psychosexual Therapy Right for You?
Psychosexual therapy tends to suit people who sense that their sexual difficulties are connected to something deeper — whether that is anxiety, past experience, relationship dynamics or simply never having had a safe space to explore these feelings before.
You don't need to have a diagnosis or know exactly what the problem is. Many people arrive feeling confused, ashamed or unsure how to put things into words. That is a perfectly good place to start. If you're unsure whether psychosexual therapy is right for you, the free introductory consultation is a good place to begin — a no-pressure conversation to talk things through and find out if we are the right fit.
