What happens in Sex Therapy?
After booking an appointment, you'll come in for an initial consultation.
If you're in a relationship, it's useful if you come with your partner, as many sexual issues stem from issues present in the relationship itself.
If your counsellor thinks Sex Therapy would be useful, you'll begin to see your therapist regularly. At the end of each session, they'll give you some practical exercises to try out in the privacy of your own home.
Everything you say will be entirely confidential and your therapist will do everything they can to help you feel comfortable and relaxed. Although some people find Sex Therapy a little awkward at first, many are surprised at how effective it is.
What is the cost of Sex Therapy?
We are a charity and don't make a profit from the services we provide. We currently charge between £48 and £88 for each counselling session. If you live within Herefordshire Worcestershire or Gloucestershire, there is a sliding scale of lower charges for those on lesser incomes.
The best way to find out if we can help you is to get in contact.
