Sexual Issues
The sooner you address them the better.
Although we have a very informative section on our website about sex-related issues and all the different reasons that attribute to sexual issues in individuals and couples.
There are less definable issues around why the sexual side of a relationship is failing and needs attention. Opening the lines of communication about the sexual side of your relationship can often get it back on track quite quickly. A little more focus and honest communication can do the trick.
Below a few recurring issues
- Communication breakdown
- Anger resentment
- Feeling unappreciated
- The only time there is intimacy is in the bedroom
- No intimacy outside the bedroom
- Lack of confidence
- Bad breath
- Changing body image
- Not putting in the effort
- Laziness and boredom
- Stop being flirtatious
- Treating children badly
- Not good enough personal hygiene
- Too embarrassed to tell your partner to stop groping
- Understanding that a cuddle is just a cuddle
- Stopped dating
- Special times of the year not celebrated enough Christmas, Birthday
- Boundaries around children
- Partner coming out
The Psychosexual Therapists
All the above issues and more will often come into the couple counselling process and can be addressed during couple counselling.
The couple counsellor will work with these issues on a regular basis and will put you at ease to reassure you will not be judged. If the couple counsellor feels any presenting issue needs the intervention of psychosexual counselling, they will refer you to one of our psychosexual team.
Talking about your feelings can be hard. You need to be open and honest and often how you feel is hard to explain. Who you are speaking to, makes a big difference? I found Jenna thoughtful and supportive.
Online Counselling
Providing you with the tools you need to take the next step.
Technology is rapidly changing the ways we can interact with each other, and counselling is no exception. This
service can be provided upon request. For the below options you will need broadband/internet connection and
somewhere quiet and private you can speak without being overheard or interrupted. Your Counsellor will agree with
you what happens should the technology fail, but in all other respects the counselling relationship will be the same
as a ‘face to face’ one. The Counsellor will speak to you from a private room …
