Sexual difficulties are common and treatable. Assessment is confidential, respectful, and free of judgement.
Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship difficulties frequently contribute to sexual problems and respond well to treatment.
What are sexual problems?
Sexual difficulties may involve desire, arousal, performance, or satisfaction. Causes are often a mix of psychological and physical factors, including anxiety, depression, relationship stress, medication effects, and medical conditions.
When to seek help for sexual problems
Recognising the signs and knowing when support can help
If sexual difficulties are causing personal distress or affecting your relationship, confidential assessment can identify the contributing factors and appropriate treatment. These concerns are common and treatable.
Concerns we assess and treat
Erectile Difficulties
Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, frequently linked to performance anxiety, stress, depression, or physical health conditions.
Premature Ejaculation
Ejaculation occurring sooner than desired, causing distress. It responds well to behavioural techniques and treatment of associated anxiety.
Reduced Sexual Desire
Loss of interest in sexual activity, which may relate to depression, stress, relationship difficulties, or medication side effects.
Performance Anxiety
Worry about sexual performance that itself interferes with function, creating a self-maintaining cycle of anxiety and difficulty.
Medication-Related Effects
Sexual side effects of psychiatric or other medication, which can often be managed by reviewing and adjusting treatment.
Relationship and Marital Concerns
Difficulties in communication or intimacy within a relationship, addressed through treatment for the individual or couple.
