Sex addiction therapy

Do you or your partner feel your use of pornography; masturbation; cyber-sex or chat rooms, has become excessive, preoccupying or no longer acceptable? Are your online or sexual behaviours negatively impacting on your sense of self, your relationship, family or work life? By working on an individual or couple basis I can help you explore and overcome these issues.

What is sex addiction?

This is a term that describes consistent and compulsive patterns of sexual behaviour that are damaging to someone's life and relationships with others. Any behaviour can become addictive. When we become dependent and can’t stop doing something in spite of all the problems it causes in our lives, then we are addicted.

​

Sex addiction is invariably a very secret, covert addiction. You can access for example porn for hours on end and yet there would be no visible side effects (as with say alcohol or drugs) to disclose what you are doing - so the secrecy of the addiction is easy to maintain.  However, as with all addictions, things start small and over time what started as a tipple at 6 o'clock can escalate into a half bottle of scotch for breakfast. The shame that can surround this obsessive, covert lifestyle can ultimately drive the addict further down the blockhole.

​

Recent research concludes that one in twenty of us is addicted to some form of detrimental sexual behaviour so If any of this sounds familiar to you in any way, contact me and we will work together to understand how to break the chain of behaviour to enable you to become the person you want to be again - forever.
