Confidential Psychosexual (Sex) Therapy Services | Private & Professional Support
Psychosexual Therapy or Sex Therapy helps to address and resolve problems and issues that are related to sex. It can help individuals and couples with difficulties ranging from a general loss of interest in sex to more specific problems such as premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus or difficulty climaxing.
All Psychosexual (Sex) Therapists at Leone Centre are registered members of COSRT (The Professional Body for Psychosexual and Relationship Therapists) and the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and/or UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy).
Psychosexual Therapy is Talking Therapy. It doesn’t involve physical interaction between you and the Therapist or removing your clothes, which is a common misconception.
Sex can sometimes be a difficult topic to talk about. Leone Centre’s experienced Psychosexual Counsellors or Sex Therapists are sensitive, approachable, highly professional and experienced, available in person in London and online.
We offer both individual and couples Psychosexual (Sex) Therapy services in person and online.

Psychosexual Therapy FAQs
I think I have a porn addiction. Can Psychosexual Therapy Help?
Yes. A Therapist can help to determine whether a person is addicted to porn, explore deeper issues that may have led to the addiction, and begin a journey towards recovery.
I find sex painful; can Psychosexual Therapy help?
During Psychosexual Therapy sessions, the Therapists will consider the issues experienced by the client and assess whether the cause is likely to be psychological, physical or a combination of the two.
The sessions work by exploring previous experiences to understand better and determine why the issue may occur. The Therapist may also give you exercises and tasks to do alone or with a partner in your own time. Each Therapy session is confidential and can be attended by an individual or a couple.
Does Psychosexual Therapy involve a physical examination?
No. Psychosexual Therapy – also referred to as Sex Therapy – sessions are talking-based Therapy designed to help address and overcome sexual problems and do not involve any physical examinations or physical touch. Sexual problems can include low libido, painful sex, sexual identity, physical changes experienced after childbirth or menopause, erectile difficulties, illnesses and past trauma.

For many people, sex is a crucial part of a relationship and maintaining physical and emotional intimacy. But sex can be challenging to discuss, especially within your relationship, where emotional ties can lead to feelings of shame, stress and critique.
