Common Presenting Concerns
Most people will have difficulty with sexual expression at some stage of their lives. When this becomes a persistent problem it can interfere with sexual intimacy and emotional connection. Often it results in reduction of affectionate touch, sexual frequency and avoidance of sexual activity or relationships.
For many people, sex is the only part of their relationship with which they struggle. For others, sex may be part of a larger problem with intimacy and trust. You do not need to suffer in silence. There are effective treatments for many types of sexual problems.
