What is psychosexual therapy, and how might it help?

 

Psychosexual treatment concentrates on the psychological and emotional aspects of sexual problems and intimate relationships. Unlike medical treatments that focus solely on physical symptoms, psychosexual therapy investigates the complex interplay of mind, body, and relationship factors that influence sexual health.

Rather than simply providing strategies or exercises, we help you understand the underlying issues influencing your sexual connection, such as anxiety and past experiences, as well as communication patterns and relationship dynamics. This better understanding serves as the foundation for genuine, long-term change.

People seek psychosexual therapy for a variety of reasons, and you may recognise any of the following concerns:

 

1. Feeling anxious or fearful about sexual closeness

2. Dealing with variances in sexual desire or frequency

3. Facing physical challenges with psychological components

4. Navigating changes in sexual function due to medicines, health issues, or life stages

5. Resolving sexual identity or orientation issues within relationships

6. Restoring closeness after infidelity or treachery

7. Handling the sexual consequences of neurodivergence, such as ADHD or autism

8. Safely exploring sexual desires or fantasies

9. Addressing religious or cultural issues with sexuality

 

What to expect

Psychosexual therapy sessions are usually 50-60 minutes long and can include individuals, couples, or trios, depending on your requirements and preferences. Some people benefit from solitary sessions at first, while others prefer to work as a couple from the outset.

 

It is normal to be nervous about addressing sensitive matters with a therapist. Many people are concerned about being embarrassed or judged. However, our therapists at Uplift Therapy are trained to discuss sexual concerns with the same expertise and sensitivity as any other area of mental health.

 

Sessions are held in a warm, confidential setting, either in person at our Bracknell offices or online from the comfort of your own home, where you may communicate freely without fear of being judged.

 

We welcome individuals of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship preferences. Whether you’re in a standard monogamous relationship, exploring polyamory, or questioning aspects of your sexual orientation, our approach is welcoming and affirming.
