Most people experience what might be regarded as a sexual difficulty at some point during their lifetime. Simply being overtired is a common factor familiar to many. Psychosexual therapy - Sexual & Relationship therapy - or 'Couple Counselling' as it is perhaps more commonly known - may help you if you have a troubling sexual or relationship difficulty which has a sudden onset and doesn't seem to want to go away. Or with a sexual (or relationship) difficulty you may have been experiencing for a more prolonged period of time.

Some examples of this might be absent, infrequent or loss of sexual desire, orgasm difficulties, painful or difficult sex and erectile problems. Some problems may be far less specific, like the feeling of simply not being able to 'get it right'. Perhaps you are having difficulties in forming or maintaining an intimate relationship. Perhaps one of you has had an affair (or are considering it). Perhaps you are even considering separating or leaving a relationship. Confusion and difficulty in coming to terms with sex, your sexuality or sexual orientation can also be very troubling.

This list is not exhaustive. Heterosexuality is never assumed. After any initial awkwardness or embarassment is overcome counselling really can help. It is often best if you talk to your partner first (if you have one) so you can make an initial appointment together. However, for some people this sort of communication seems an impossible first step and you may prefer to make an individual appointment.
