What this therapy helps with

Some people come with a clear concern. Others arrive with a quieter sense that something feels disconnected. Both are welcome here.

Pain during sex
When sex becomes painful, tense, or something you avoid

Pain, tightness, numbness, anxiety, or involuntary responses can make sex feel stressful rather than connective. This may include vaginismus, pain during sex, vulval or pelvic pain, or pain linked to erection.

Low desire
When desire feels confusing, absent, or doesn't match

Low libido, loss of desire, feeling disconnected from desire, or differences in frequency, initiation, or sexual needs within a relationship. Desire is sensitive to context.

Orgasmic issues
When orgasm or ejaculation feel difficult or pressured

Orgasm can feel difficult, delayed, absent, or overshadowed by pressure. This can include anorgasmia, rapid ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, or anxiety around timing and control.

Erection issues
When getting or keeping an erection feels uncertain

Difficulty getting or maintaining an erection can become a quiet source of anxiety. Erections are sensitive to stress, mood, health, and how safe you feel with a partner. Therapy looks at what's underneath, not just the symptom.

Compulsive sexual behaviour
When sexual behaviour feels hard to control or full of shame

Concerns about how often sex, fantasy, pornography, or masturbation is relied on. Compulsive sexual behaviour is approached here as a pattern, not a moral failing or a lack of willpower.

Identity & exploration
When sex connects with identity or ways of relating

Sexual difficulties sometimes sit alongside questions about sexual orientation, gender identity, or how you experience attraction, intimacy, and power in relationships.

Relationships of many kinds

We work with all relationship structures - monogamous, same-sex, queer, polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, and non-traditional - approached with care, respect, and curiosity.

LGBTQIA+ couples

Affirming therapy for same-sex, queer, and trans-inclusive partnerships. You won't be asked to justify how you love or who you are.

Neurodivergent Couples

Therapy adapted to how each partner experiences connection and communication, attending to neurotype rather than assuming a single way of relating.

Polyamorous & non-monogamous

Support for polyamorous relationships, consensual non-monogamy, and ethical non-monogamy, including work with multiple-partner constellations.

What we help with

Psychosexual therapy can support a wide range of sexual concerns. Some of the most common reasons people get in touch:

Our Approach

Exploring sex beyond performance

Sexual difficulties rarely have a single cause. They are shaped by physical experience, emotional history, relationships, trauma, stress, and wider life context. Therapy helps you make sense of how these layers interact.

  • 1
    Sex-positive and non-shaming Whatever you bring, shame, confusion, something you have never said out loud, is met with curiosity rather than judgement. Nothing about your desires, concerns, or way of relating needs to be explained away or minimised.
  • 2
    Grounded in clinical expertise Sexual difficulties sit at the intersection of body, mind, relationship, and history. Our qualified therapists bring specialist training and experience to help you understand what is underneath, not just address what is on the surface.
  • 3
    Individual or partnered Some people work individually, others involve their partner. Some concerns begin as individual work and naturally draw a partner in later. The free intro call helps work out which focus fits best for where you are now.

The introductory call is confidential and gives you space to ask questions, get a sense of the therapist, and decide whether you'd like to continue. No obligation.

Transparent pricing, no subscription

£80 for individual sessions, £120 for couples sessions. Every therapist charges the same fee, so your choice is about the right match, not the price. No packages, no upfront commitment.

Sessions are held online so you can work with specialist therapists wherever you're based in the UK or abroad, from the privacy of your own home, together or apart.

Affirming, without assumption

Monogamous, polyamorous, queer, neurodiverse, intercultural, kink-aware, blended families. Each is met with care, respect, and curiosity. Not judgement.

Non-pathologising care

We provide therapy that is grounded, non-judgemental, and non-pathologising. Patterns are approached as understandable responses shaped by experience, not fixed flaws.

FAQ

Do I need a diagnosis to start psychosexual therapy?

No. Many people come with experiences rather than labels, including concerns about sexual problems or changes in sexual function.

Is it individual therapy or partnered therapy?

Depending on your concern, the therapy may be better suited for individual work or couple work. We recommend beginning with an individual session, and if during your first session the therapist determines that it would help for your partner to attend, they will advise you accordingly.

Can I come on my own if the issue feels relational?

Yes. Individual work can be a meaningful place to begin, even when navigating complex relationship difficulties.

How much does psychosexual therapy cost?

Every therapist at Intima Therapy charges the same fee: £80 for individual sessions and £120 for couples sessions. Your choice is about the right match, not the price. There's no subscription and no upfront commitment.

The 15-minute intro call is free, and you're under no obligation to book after it.

Is online sex therapy as effective as in-person?

For most concerns, yes. The working alliance, the trust and rapport between you and your therapist, is what drives outcomes in therapy, and that translates well online. You join from a private space of your own choosing.

For a small number of concerns where a physical examination would be part of a treatment plan, we may suggest a GP or specialist referral alongside therapy.

Is this therapy explicit?

No. The work is conversational, reflective, and grounded in the principles of informed consent. It is a form of talking therapy. There is no physical contact between the therapist and the client.

I'm not sure whether my concern is "really" a psychosexual one. Does it matter?

You don't need to know in advance. Most people arrive with something that sits somewhere between sex and everything else: the body, the relationship, a life stage, a worry that's been growing.

Part of what the 15-minute intro call is for is to work out whether psychosexual therapy is the right place to start, or whether a different focus would fit better. If we're not the right match, we'll say so.

Who usually refers for psychosexual therapy?

Sexual health clinics, gynaecologists, urologists, women's health physiotherapists, or other health professionals are usually the professionals who may refer you for psychosexual therapy. You don't need a referral to get in touch yourself.

Take the next step, when you're ready.

Whether you're clear about what you're looking for or still finding the words, we're here to help you move forward at your own pace.
