Sexual Problem Service
Many partners experience a lack of sexual satisfaction at some time in their relationships. Often this is temporary and things improve on their own. However, sometimes the dissatisfaction persists and it becomes difficult to talk about.
Our therapists know that clients can feel hesitant or uncomfortable about sharing their concerns. Your therapist will help you to explore what may be causing your difficulties and this may lead to a guided programme designed to overcome those difficulties. Such a programme would involve simple exercises which you can practice in the privacy of your home.
Our sex therapy service has been highly successful since it was introduced. Over 93% of men and women who have completed this type of counselling have reported a significant improvement in their sexual relationships.
As with all our services, this type of counselling is completely confidential. We will not reveal any information about you to a third party; unless someone’s personal safety is at risk.
Who is it for?
For individuals or couples experiencing sexual difficulties including:
Not having penetrative sex
Not getting or maintaining an erection
Not having an orgasm
How do we work with these problems?
We firstly establish that there is no physical or medical reason for the problem. Then we look into the history of the problem. It is at this point that the therapist and the clients decide whether or not to go on to a sex programme. The programme is set up by the therapist and is carried out by the clients, in the privacy of their own home.
What will it cost?
£45 per hour is the standard payment. This covers the cost of providing a Relate trained counsellor and does not make a profit. For East Staffordshire residents who find it difficult to contribute this amount payment will be negotiated according to your income and circumstances. Young peoples counselling, some family counselling and particular areas of East Staffordshire are funded and therefore free. Please ask for details.
