Couple Therapy
Couples come to therapy for many reasons.
Sometimes after a few years together partners may feel disenchanted or disappointed with each other. It may be that they talk less to each other, spend less time together and feel emotionally distant. Major transitions such as marriage and preparing for marriage, difficulties conceiving and IVF, children and parenting, or traumatic loss, illness, bereavement and infidelity, all can challenge partners’ felt security in their relationship.
Often reasons for seeking therapy are about sex or no sex.
Sexual problems can affect anyone at any stage in life. Common problems include disorders of sexual desire and arousal, difficulties with erections and ejaculation, disorders of orgasm, fear of penetration, and genital pain during sexual intercourse. If, in addition, you feel pressure to perform and have negative thoughts about your body, then sex may not be enjoyable.
