What Is Psychosexual Therapy & How It Helps
Psychosexual therapy is a confidential, specialist approach that helps individuals and couples address sexual difficulties, improve intimacy, and build healthier relationships. At Jane Gore Therapy, compassionate support and expert guidance are offered to help you explore challenges and achieve greater sexual wellbeing.
What Exactly Is Psychosexual Therapy
Psychosexual therapy is a specialised form of talking therapy that supports individuals and couples in navigating issues related to sexual function, desire, performance, or emotional intimacy. It provides a safe, non-judgemental space to explore sensitive concerns—whether rooted in physical health, emotional wellbeing, or relationship dynamics.
A psychosexual therapist works collaboratively with you to uncover the root causes of sexual difficulties, which may stem from anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, or medical conditions. Therapy often includes education about sexual health, communication strategies, and practical tools to rebuild confidence and connection.
