If you would like to access this service, you will need to visit your GP first.  The GP will check out with you whether or not there are any underlying physical/organic causes and, if appropriate and with your agreement, will refer you into our service. 

We will then contact you to make an initial assessment appointment.  At this appointment you will be seen by one of our psychosexual counsellors who will discuss what you’ve been experiencing and how psychosexual counselling may be of benefit.  The counsellor may also suggest that you attend with your partner if possible.  You are entitled to 8 sessions and you will see the same counsellor on each visit.
