Your safe space to resolve sex an intimacy issues

If you’re affected by challenges or worries about sex and intimacy, you’re not alone. Data tells us that over 40% of men and women in the UK experience sexual or emotional intimacy difficulties at some point.

Sexual challenges can be caused by various things, including stress, lack of sexual experience, low body confidence or shame. They could also come about following negative sexual experiences or abuse, recent or past. 

Whatever the trigger, an unhealthy cycle can take hold, meaning sex and intimacy can become frightening, threatening and anxiety-provoking. After a while, it may seem easier to avoid sex altogether.

Problems with sex and intimacy are usually treatable. To learn how our psychosexual therapists can help, book an appointment today.

What is psychosexual therapy?

Psychosexual counselling combines talking therapies with reflective exercises and follow-up activities to do at home. It’s highly effective at helping people overcome a wide range of issues related to sex and intimacy. 

Both women and men can benefit from psychosexual therapy, whether single or in a relationship, and you can go to sessions as an individual or as a couple. The vast majority of problems with sex and intimacy are treatable.

Psychosexual therapists make it easy to talk about sex and to work through issues of intimacy. They are professionals, and everything you discuss is confidential.

Why talking about sex and intimacy matters

For a lot of people, sex can be a difficult subject to talk about. Learning to talk about sex and intimacy is one of the most powerful benefits of psychosexual therapy. Because when sexual communication improves, other sexual challenges become much easier to address.

Our therapists know how to make it easier to talk about sex. Many of our clients feed back that, because their therapist is so comfortable and down to earth talking about sex, they quickly feel more comfortable too.

See us online or in person

Our advice is that face to face counselling is most effective. You can book to meet with your therapist in person at our private, dedicated spaces in Oxford Circus, Bloomsbury or Brighton.

If you need or would prefer to opt for therapy online, that’s fine – our therapists are experienced in providing online psychosexual counselling. You can even choose a hybrid approach of in-person and online sessions. Whatever you decide, we’re here to help you.

Popular questions

Want to know more? Take a look at some of the most common questions people ask about therapy.

At your first appointment, your therapist will ask you a few questions about what’s been happening in your life and what’s brought you to therapy.  You’ll also have an opportunity to ask any questions you have about counselling or psychotherapy. 

You and your therapist will then discuss next steps, and you’ll be able to decide whether you want to continue with further appointments.

Absolutely not. We do not judge behaviour or personal life experiences, and we respect each client for their individual choices. We do not discriminate on any grounds, including age, race, gender, sexuality, religion, criminal background, health status, disability or ethnicity.

Yes. Everything you discuss in therapy is confidential. There are certain legal exceptions to this, which we will explain when you take up therapy with us. We create a space where you can discuss anything on your mind in a private, confidential setting without being judged.

Yes. You can end your sessions whenever you want. Just let your therapist know. You’re also free to take a counselling break and restart when you’re ready. You’re in control, and you’re never tied in.

Every person will have their own, often mixed feelings coming to counselling. At your first session, your therapist will discuss with both of you about your hopes and fears, and hopefully help you start to get on the same page so that therapy feels like a positive choice for you both. Remember, there’s no obligation to continue past your first session, if it’s not going to work for you.

If, after your first session, one partner in a couple is adamant that they don’t want to engage at all, we’d recommend pausing couples therapy until you’re both in a place to benefit from the experience.

That’s fine, please just let either your therapist or One Therapy know that you think a different therapist would suit you better. Your relationship with your therapist is at the heart of counselling success, so trust your instinct. We can easily set you up with another therapist who might be a better fit for you. Our therapists are professionals, and they won’t take it personally.
