Confidential support for sexual difficulties, intimacy, and connection
Sexual difficulties are more common than most people realise, but they’re often hard to talk about. You might be experiencing changes in desire, anxiety around intimacy, physical difficulties, or a growing sense of distance between you and your partner. Many people arrive feeling embarrassed, confused, or unsure whether therapy is even appropriate for something so personal.
Sexual concerns rarely exist in isolation. They are often connected to stress, relationship dynamics, life changes, health, self-esteem, or past experiences. For some people, difficulties appear suddenly; for others, they have been present for years and quietly affecting confidence and closeness.
At Cherry Tree Therapy Centre, we offer psychosexual therapy (also known as sex therapy) for individuals and couples. Therapy provides a confidential, non-judgemental space to understand what’s happening and explore ways forward at a pace that feels safe.
Psychosexual therapy focuses on understanding how thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences affect sexual wellbeing. Sessions are respectful, boundaried, and paced carefully. You won’t be asked to share anything you’re not comfortable with, and there is no physical contact involved.
Therapy may involve talking through concerns, exploring beliefs or expectations around sex, addressing anxiety or avoidance, and improving communication between partners. Some therapists may suggest reflective or practical exercises to explore between sessions, always discussed collaboratively and tailored to what feels manageable.
We offer:
Psychosexual therapy (Sex Therapy) is a specialised form of counselling that focuses on sexual wellbeing, intimacy, and related emotional or relational difficulties. It looks at the psychological and relational aspects of sexual concerns, rather than medical treatment alone.
People seek support for difficulties such as low or mismatched desire, performance anxiety, erectile difficulties, painful sex, orgasm difficulties, changes following illness or life transitions, communication problems, body image concerns, menopause and the impact of past experiences or trauma.
No. Psychosexual therapy can be helpful for individuals as well as couples. Some people attend alone; others attend together.
Only at a level that feels comfortable for you. Therapy is led by your concerns and boundaries, and nothing is shared unless you choose to.
