We offer sexual health counselling in Newcastle, available in person or through secure telehealth sessions, to help people build confidence, connection, and positive change in their relationships and wellbeing.
Understanding Sexual Health
Talking about sexual health can feel sensitive or difficult. Our clinicians provide a safe space to explore these topics with respect and care.
Therapy may support individuals or couples experiencing:
Low libido or changes in sexual desire
Erectile difficulties or sexual performance concerns
Pain or discomfort during intimacy
Sexual trauma or distress related to past experiences
Concerns about pornography use or its impact on relationships
Shame, guilt, or anxiety linked to sexual identity or expression
Through psychological and sex therapy approaches, our clinicians aim to identify and address underlying factors contributing to these challenges, helping you understand and manage both the emotional and physical aspects of sexual wellbeing.
Intimacy & Relationships
Modern relationships can be affected by stress, life changes, and unrealistic expectations influenced by media and social pressures. These factors can impact connection, body image, and trust.

Rebuild communication and closeness
