I believe that when there is no underlying medical reason for sexuality not to be flowing as you would like, your body is communicating a message to you. It’s like an electric circuit – if all the body, mind, brain and body aren’t connected, there will be a blockage or disconnection. That might be to yourself or towards a partner. I have learnt that each of our sexual and relational stories are made of different pieces that have brought us to our present day. Through counselling I’ll aim to help you figure out what that reason is, and if you’re ready to, help you try to remove that barrier. I work holistically and to help you discover or unearth strong foundations to your sexuality.
Sex therapy, I find, is rarely just about sex. It’s a jigsaw puzzle of factors to explore. Shall we sit down together and put some pieces together? Often this work has links to relational factors – so having a squizz at the relationship therapy page might be helpful as well as ‘my approach‘for the ‘how’.
I will double check with you early on in our relationship about medical checks.
It may be that there are medical or non psychosexual reasons for things not working out in the nookie department that cannot be changed. In this case we’ll aim to work around this, build self esteem and confidence, knowledge and help you explore what might work for you in the future. Finding a new sexual/intimate repertoire with a partner can be daunting but also great create curiosity and fun, if you can let go of what you think it ‘should’ be!
It may be that some of the issues listed below are relevant to you, but they are not a problem for you in life, or with your partner(s). If that is the case you probably do not need to be seeing me! It’s when these things are a problem for you, or your partner(s) that you may be looking for help. It maybe this happens all the time, or just with a particular partner. If you’re unsure we can have a chat for 10 minutes before you even book in a ‘Discovery Session’ with me.
