Sex and intimacy are deeply personal parts of life — and difficulties in this area are more common than many people realise. At The Three Seas Psychology, our experienced sex therapists offer a safe, respectful space to explore these concerns — whether you come on your own or with a partner.
What Is Sex Therapy?
Sex therapy is a specialised form of psychotherapy that focuses on the psychological, emotional, and relational aspects of sexual wellbeing. It’s not about physical treatment or performance, but rather understanding the internal and interpersonal challenges that may be affecting your sexual life.
Our approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Schema Therapy. We work with individuals and couples across all genders and sexual orientations.
Common Issues Sex Therapy Can Help With
Our qualified sex therapists can support you with:
-
Low or mismatched libido
-
Erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation
-
Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
-
Difficulties with arousal or orgasm
-
Sexual trauma and recovery
-
Intimacy issues in relationships
-
Compulsive sexual behaviour or pornography use
-
Gender identity and sexual orientation exploration
If you’re unsure whether your concern is appropriate for therapy it is. Nothing is too small or too “taboo” to talk about here.
What to Expect in a Session
Sessions are tailored to your needs — whether you’re attending as an individual or a couple. Your therapist will support open conversation at your pace, helping you explore your goals and work through challenges in a collaborative, respectful way. Your therapist may:
-
Help identify underlying beliefs or past experiences affecting sexual confidence
-
Explore relationship patterns or attachment dynamics
-
Offer education around sexual functioning and communication
-
Work collaboratively on exercises that rebuild intimacy and trust
All discussions take place in a professional, therapeutic setting.
