Sex is one of our most intimate acts, often leaving us feeling vulnerable and hesitant to discuss it openly. Psychosexual therapy is a specialised form of talk therapy that offers a safe space to explore and understand the nuances of intimacy, sexuality, and pleasure—whether you’re an individual or in a relationship.

At elemental, psychosexual therapy can empower you with the knowledge and confidence to understand how you feel about sexual intimacy and your body, how your body functions, support healing, and explore what you desire.

You can also explore challenges, such as:

• Differences in Desire and Arousal: Understanding and harmonising mismatched sexual appetites.

• Communication Barriers: Overcoming difficulties in discussing sexual needs and desires.

• Relationship Challenges: Addressing the impact of conflicts, breaches of trust, and transitions in relationship dynamics, whether in monogamous, polyamorous, or consensually non-monogamous arrangements.

• Recovery and Reconfiguration: Supporting recovery from affairs or broken agreements and helping renegotiate new relationship boundaries.

• Body Function: Performance concerns, low desire, and overcoming sexual shame.

• Sex or Porn Addiction: Exploring and understanding sexuality and sexual preference.

• Sexual Confidence: Building assertiveness and fostering healthy sexual self-esteem.

• Medical and Fertility Concerns: Navigating fertility complications, medical conditions, and medication side effects.

• Reproductive Counseling: Offering support before conception, as well as before and after abortion.

• Trauma Recovery: Healing the legacy of trauma on sexual identity and function.

By honouring the diversity of human connection, we can work together to build authentic, fulfilling, and sustainable relationships.
