People usually seek psychosexual therapy when a sexual concern, change in sexual well-being or in some aspect of physical sexual function is causing the individual or couple difficulty in sexual expression, distress or unwanted sexual avoidance.
While transient sexual concerns or difficulties can occur at any time in our lives, changes to our sexual well-being increase in frequency as we get older.
Sexual difficulties often occur during times of significant life change such as the start of an intimate relationship, following childbirth, during periods of relationship difficulties, work difficulties, after trauma, the loss of an intimate partner, or at the time of menopause transition. Sexual difficulties also occur more frequently following diagnosis and treatment for common physical or emotional health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, cancer, depression and during times of stress or anxiety.
Among women the most commonly reported sexual concerns are loss of sexual interest and difficulty in becoming aroused, orgasmic difficulties and sexual pain. Among men the most commonly reported problems are difficulties getting or keeping an erection, rapid ejaculation and low sexual interest.
While many people experience a temporary reduction in sexual well-being, for others sexual concerns or difficulties affect the majority of their sexual encounters and are a source of concern for one or both partners.
Psychosexual therapy may be particularly helpful when individuals or couples have sexual difficulties that cause the person or couple distress and where they would like professional support to help them to overcome / resolve or manage such difficulties. Whatever the reason, it takes courage to seek help and our skilled and compassionate Psychosexual Therapist is here to support you and any partner to meet these goals.

November is #mensmentalhealthawarenessmonth , where we tackle the stigma of men`s mental health and encourage men to talk and take care of their own mental wellbeing.
🧠Mental illness affects people of every gender, and it`s incorrect to assume that men don`t struggle because they are often portrayed or expected to be strong and silent. It is important for men to feel like they can speak out and seek help when they need it, and for them to know that this is not a sign of weakness.
⭐️TEP has gold-standard Psychological and Psychiatric services for a range of difficulties and we are sending support to any men experiencing difficulties with their mental health.
In addition to TEP, there are other ways to get support which include:
💬Talk to someone you trust such as your parent/carer or friend
💬Speak to your GP

🗓️ It is #ADHDAwarenessMonth!
👦👧 ADHD is diagnosed four times more in boys. Some research suggests that girls with ADHD may be under-diagnosed.
💡 A number of reasons for this have been suggested:
- Girls tend to show more inattentive symptoms
- Girls have been shown to develop more compensatory behaviours and coping strategies to mask their symptoms
- As boys can present with more hyperactive symptoms, their ADHD symptoms can be more easily observed in classroom
🧍♀️ Girls and women with ADHD are more likely to suffer from comorbid psychological difficulties, such as anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Thus, it is imperative that awareness of the female presentation of ADHD is increased, in order to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.
🕑 It`s that time again - welcome back to #MeaningfulMondays!
💛 It is always so pleasing to hear that clients are satisfied with the communication between TEP Clinicians. Our aim is to ensure that the Clinicians involved in your care are collaborating effectively, to ensure you receive the best treatment.
1️⃣ Your psychological well-being is always the top priority for our Clinicians!
👀 Happy #SneakPeakFriday everyone!
🛋️ Here is a TEP room that we have not yet debuted on our Instagram… our Observation Rooms! We have three Observation Rooms in the practice, designed to be used by our Psychiatrists and our clients. Most commonly they are used for taking essential measurements for titration of ADHD medication, including weight and blood pressure.
🤔 Did you know that if you need your blood pressure checked, you can simply come into the practice and use one of our blood pressure monitors?
💡 As it is #ADHDAwarenessMonth we thought this room was very on topic as these rooms are most utilised by our clients with ADHD!
