What is this service?

Once you've made an appointment with your local Relate Centre, you'll be seen by a sex therapist who will listen sensitively to your description of the problem and gather further information from you to ensure that any suggested treatment meets your needs.

You will also talk about the best times for your sessions, and discuss the cost of Sex Therapy.

If at this stage Sex Therapy is considered appropriate, you will start to see your sex therapist on a weekly to fortnightly basis. All of the work you do in the therapy room is based on talking, however, you are also given homework to do with your partner in the privacy of your own home.

Clients are often amazed at the progress they make and how well they get on with their therapist, once they are over the initial nervousness at talking frankly about their sex life.

In some parts of the country, Sex Therapy is provided by individuals who are Relate trained and work from their own premises rather than a Relate Centre.

Whether you're single, married or in a relationship, gay, lesbian or straight, Sex Therapy can help you to improve your sex life and to overcome any specific sexual dysfunctions.
