Sex Addiction Therapy
Compulsive Sexual Behaviour

I provide therapy for compulsive sexual behaviour (often referred to as sex addiction), supporting individuals experiencing patterns of sexual behaviour that feel difficult to control or are causing distress.

 

This may include pornography use, repeated infidelity, or sexual behaviours that impact relationships, work, or wellbeing. Therapy offers a confidential space to understand what is happening and begin to regain a sense of control.

 

You may be struggling with compulsive sexual behaviour if you notice:

• Feeling unable to stop or reduce sexual behaviour

• Repeated pornography use despite wanting to stop

• Secrecy, shame, or living a double life

• Repeated infidelity or sexual behaviours that feel out of control

• Escalation in behaviour over time

• Impact on relationships, trust, or self-esteem

 

Understanding the pattern

 

Compulsive sexual behaviour is rarely just about sex. It often develops as a way of managing difficult internal states, including anxiety, shame, loneliness, or unresolved trauma.

Over time, the behaviour can become habitual and difficult to interrupt, even when it no longer brings relief. Therapy focuses on understanding these patterns and creating the conditions for change.

 

How therapy can help

 

Therapy provides a structured and confidential space to explore the underlying drivers of compulsive sexual behaviour.

This includes developing awareness of triggers, understanding patterns, and building alternative ways of responding. The work is paced carefully, without judgement, and focused on long-term change rather than short-term control.

A specialist, psychosexual approach

 

My work is grounded in psychosexual and relational psychotherapy, integrating psychological, behavioural, and relational perspectives.

 

I work with individuals at different stages, whether you are beginning to question your behaviour, or have been struggling with it for some time.

 

The focus is not simply on stopping behaviour, but on understanding and addressing the underlying dynamics that sustain it.

Sessions and availability

 

Sessions are available in London and online across the UK.

 

Initial consultations provide an opportunity to discuss your situation and consider whether this approach feels right for you.

 

All enquiries are handled confidentially.
