Sex Therapists in South East London

Rachel Seymour
Psychotherapist, MA, COSRT General
South East London, London SE1
I work with people from all backgrounds and walks of life, although most often I work with clients who fall into the category of gender, sexuality or relationship diverse (GSRD), whether that means someone is kinky, polyamorous, a sex worker, queer (or a combination!).
I work in an integrative way. This means I pull from a variety of different therapeutic models, including humanistic, person-centred and existential. I also work through a GSRD lens - for example, I believe that everyone (regardless of relationship style) can benefit from the skills developed through polyamory (for example communication).

Frankie Wingfield-Jones
Psychotherapist, COSRT Reg.
South East London, London SE15
We explore the ways in which sex may be impacting or affecting your life in a safe, non-judgemental space.
I provide a space in which to build trust, to allow your mind to go to places you may not have felt comfortable to before. If coming as part of a couple then I work in way that allows both people to feel heard and validated whilst working to bring the two (or more) of you together - if that’s what you are here to do.

Together we'll make sense of the patterns underneath, so you can shift the cycles that keep repeating and moving towards a more towards a more connected way of relating, both to yourself and to others.

Mihai Diaconescu
Psychotherapist, MBACP
South East London, London SE1
Many difficulties people bring to therapy don’t stem from conscious thought, but from how past experience lives on in the mind and body. Early or overwhelming experiences, along with beliefs shaped by social and cultural conditioning, can form patterns of reactivity and ways of behaving that operate outside awareness. Yet these patterns show up here and now, where they can be met, explored, and responded to differently. In therapy, we work with this living process so new understanding, choice, and more integrated change across safety, belonging, authenticity, value, freedom, and meaning can emerge, not just cognitive insight.

Sex Therapy Counsellors
Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
