Sex Therapy is a highly stigmatised form of therapeutic intervention. It is one of the forms of therapy that has the highest barriers to engagement, cost being the main one with people paying around £100 per session, but is arguably one of the most important.
Data from the Natsal-3 study, revealed that 42% of men and 52% of women reported having at least one sexual problem which lasted three months or more. 75% of people who come to us for relationship support say that the physical aspect of their relationship has suffered. Despite the clear need, Sex Therapy is rarely offered for free or on the NHS.
Right now, it is more important than ever for people to have circle of healthy relationships around them, and supporting sex lives is an essential part of this. - Polly, TLC Sex Therapist
