Sex Therapy London - Online Couples & Individual Therapy

Sex therapy for men addresses a variety of issues, and the approach taken depends on the underlying cause. Some problems, such as desire disorders, arousal difficulties, and orgasm issues, can have physical origins. It’s advisable to consult a qualified physician or urologist to rule out any medical conditions.

Sex therapy for men in London commonly focuses on:

• Erectile dysfunction
• Premature ejaculation
• Low sexual desire
• Uncontrolled sex drive
• Sexual identity, orientation, and fetishes
• Recovery from sexual abuse or trauma

Sex therapy for women in London focuses on addressing a range of issues specific to females, which can be influenced by psychological, physical, and relational factors, including cultural influences. Women commonly seek help for concerns falling into three main categories:

• Desire disorders (such as low sexual desire)
• Arousal and orgasm disorders (difficulties with arousal or reaching orgasm)
• Sexual pain disorders (pain during intercourse)

These issues can be lifelong, acquired, or situational, depending on personal circumstances or relationship dynamics. Both physical and psychological factors can play a role, so it’s important to consult a qualified physician or obstetrician/gynecologist to rule out any medical conditions.

Women often seek sex therapy after trying other treatments without success. It can be challenging to discuss sexual issues initially due to feelings of shame or emotional distress.

Sex therapy provides a supportive environment for women to explore these concerns and receive personalized strategies to improve sexual health and overall well-being.

Couples often face sexual difficulties during their relationship. When one or both partners feel unsatisfied with their sex life, it can greatly affect their relationship and overall happiness. These issues can be caused by psychological, physical, or relationship problems. Sex therapy for couples in London takes a holistic approach, addressing both the symptoms and reasons behind these sexual issues.

Common sexual problems addressed in therapy include:

• Differences in sexual desire
• Loss of interest in sex
• Feeling unhappy with sexual experiences
• Lacking emotional closeness
• Anxiety about performance
• Dealing with infidelity
• Feeling bored with sex
• Coping with compulsive sexual behaviors

In therapy, couples can talk openly about these issues and work on improving communication and intimacy. By doing so, they can rediscover a more satisfying and connected sexual relationship.

Many people use pornography at some point, whether for masturbation or to enhance their sex lives. However, when the urge to watch porn becomes compulsive, and it consistently overrides the desire for sexual intimacy with your partner, it can indicate compulsive sexual behavior. This preoccupation with porn and masturbation may lead to spending excessive time on these activities, affecting relationships with partners, children, family, and friends. A healthy sex life is about balance! If you find your porn use and masturbation habits overwhelmingly compulsive and want to regain control, specialized sexual counseling can help.

Common signs of problematic pornography use include:

• Intense preoccupation with porn and masturbation
• Increasing frequency of masturbation
• Anxiety when not masturbating
• Feeling unsatisfied by masturbation and/or sex
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop the behavior
• Neglecting important responsibilities to masturbate
• Continuing compulsive behaviors despite negative consequences

Seeking porn addiction therapy can provide strategies to manage compulsive behaviors, restore balance, and improve overall well-being.
