The sessions are mix of talking therapy and behavioural work (which is carried out at the privacy of your home).
We discuss your sexual issues in the context of your life and expectations. During the sessions we talk about the sexual issue, the impact it has on your life, previous and present sexual experiences, romantic relationships and life as it is at the moment.
Behavioural work is given during the session to be completed at home. During the sessions we also discuss the behavioural work.
If you are in a long term relationship it might be useful to attend with your partner, as the sexual issues usually impact both people in a relationship; as well as the interaction between the couple can impact the issue.
Psychosexual therapy can be attended by individuals or couples.
The psychotherapist will want to talk about parents/childhood
My work encourages the client to understand their current circumstances. This can involve making links with the past. Such insights may help the client to make positive changes in their lives and identify and recognise patterns from the past.
The psychotherapist will side with my partner
As a relationship therapist, my aim is to keep the sessions balanced independently of who has made the initial contact or who is bringing the problem. Relationship therapists undergo years of training to be able to work with more than one story in the room. During the sessions, I seek to gain an understanding of the impact of the clients’ problems on their life as a couple, and how each respond to the problem.
Therapy will change the person I am
Therapy is a collaborative process which allows the client and therapist to work together on what brings them to therapy. It is not the therapist’s role to tell the client what to think or feel but to support the client so that they can understand their own thoughts and feelings.
