Psychosexual Counselling

If you are having issues either individually or as a couple don’t despair or feel embarrassed, we are here to help.

Psychosexual Counselling

For many people, a sexual relationship is the most fulfilling, exciting and intimate encounter they have with another person. If however, the sexual relationship is not going so well, then the feelings and pleasures of giving and receiving sexual enjoyment very often becomes a source of conflict, distress and sadness.

The process of Psychosexual Counselling will help you to discover the source of the problem, gain insight and develop techniques for overcoming your sexual difficulties.

It may be a problem you’ve had for a long time or it might be something that’s developed after a previously good sex life. You may know exactly what has caused your particular problem – or like many, you may be mystified.

There are many reasons why the sexual relationship between a couple can breakdown:

Anger and Resentment
Anxiety
Lack of desire and libido
Past unpleasant experiences
Impotence
Stress
Vaginismus
Illness
Premature ejaculation
Change in body image

Retarded ejaculation
Sex Addiction
Not prioritising intimate time
Addiction to the Internet
Not communicating your true feelings
Sexuality
Boredom
Trauma in childhood
Arrival of children

Nightingale Psychosexual Counsellors will immediately put you at ease. Talking about such an intimate part of your life, can feel awkward or embarrassing. Please be assured the Psychosexual Counsellors are experienced and have received extensive training and qualified with Relationship Scotland and will have a diploma in psychosexual counselling. The Psychosexual Counsellor is trained to give you a diagnosis and design a treatment programme to enable you to overcome your sexual issues. The programme is structured in a way to allow small steps to help you both to re-engage with each other and will encourage honest and open communication between you.
