Sex Counselling in Cornwall

Revitalising Your Sexual Performance: Evidence-Based Sex Counselling to Build Confidence and Deepen Intimacy.

Are you experiencing concerns about your sexuality? Or worried about sex? Consider counselling as a potential solution. I can assist you in regaining a sense of yourself and rediscovering hope in your journey. Remember, there's always room for positive change.

Are you having  difficulties sex?

Sexual issues can often leave us feeling isolated and alone. Shame might prevent us from discussing them with loved ones, or even acknowledging the extent of the problem to ourselves. This can lead us to adopt unhelpful behaviours to cope or result in feelings of depression.

Psychosexual therapy offers a way to address these challenges.  If you feel this way then Psychosexual therapy may be able to help you.

What is psychosexual therapy and what issues can sex therapy help me with?

Sex therapy, also known as psychosexual therapy, helps individuals and couples address sex-related issues. As an experienced therapist, I will understand and never judge you for what you share. This type of therapy provides a liberating opportunity to talk openly with someone who understands your concerns.


Sex therapy can address a wide range of issues related to sexual health and intimacy. For individuals, it can help with concerns such as low libido, sexual dysfunction, or difficulties with sexual arousal and orgasm. It can also provide support for those dealing with the aftermath of sexual trauma, helping them to rebuild a healthy relationship with their sexuality. 

Additionally, sex therapy can assist in exploring and understanding one's sexual orientation or gender identity, offering a safe space to discuss and navigate these deeply personal aspects of life. 

Real Client Story: Exploring Sex and Sexuality with Compassion

Client Profile: "Alex", 29, creative freelancer

Presenting Issue: Confusion and shame around sexual identity and intimacy

Approach: Narrative therapy, psychoeducation, and values-based exploration
Story

Alex came to therapy feeling disconnected from their body and unsure how to express their sexuality. They’d grown up in a conservative environment and carried internalised shame around desire and gender expression. Together, we created a space where curiosity was welcomed and labels weren’t required. Through gentle storytelling exercises and values mapping, Alex began to reclaim their sense of agency and pleasure. Over time, they developed language that felt affirming and began forming relationships rooted in mutual respect and emotional safety.

Outcome

Alex reported feeling more grounded and expressive, with a deeper understanding of their needs and boundaries. They described therapy as “a place where I could finally breathe and be honest”.

Are you struggling with a sex or intimacy problems? I can help.

What can be done and how can counselling help me with sexual issues?

Counselling can be incredibly helpful for addressing sexual issues. Many sexual problems have psychological roots, whether it's struggles with intimacy affecting our moods or deeper mental and emotional issues.

By talking to a counsellor, you can gain clarity on how physical sexual issues are impacting other areas of your life. Sex therapy can also be practical, helping you set and achieve goals for physical checkups, self-care, and addressing co-occurring psychological issues like addictions or anxiety.

A counselling session about sex, is similar to other forms of talk therapy.

As a therapist, I will listen, reflect back, and asks insightful questions to help you see things in a new light and process experiences you couldn't navigate alone.

The benefits of sex counselling include becoming more in tune with yourself, your body, and your sexual desire, stopping feelings of shame and guilt, learning better ways of communicating about sex and intimacy, finding ways forward in life and in the bedroom, and gaining practical tools to cope with your thoughts and emotions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Sex and Sexuality Counselling

You can explore anything from sexual identity, orientation, and gender expression to intimacy, desire, relationship dynamics, trauma, or cultural/religious beliefs around sex.
