It doesn't take much for external circumstances and associated changes of how we think for this to have a negative impact our sex lives, whether this is an inexorable diminishment in intimacy or physical changes that affect our lives. Neuroplasticity has shown that impotence from prostate surgery, for example, is not inevitable: the brain can and does develop new pathways when old ones become dysfunctional. Lack of confidence with potential partners is often due to a fear of not being good enough or an unwillingness to risk being rejected. And uncertainty about aspects of male sexuality can also be resolved.

Feelings and experiences by men can sometimes feel difficult to express. In a society which hold that men should be strong and not show emotion, counselling can be the place where you can begin to feel safe and held.
With trust being built within the therapeutic relationship you will be able to explore the feelings and issues you would like to examine and work through, helping you to acknowledge, manage and accept your concerns and experiences.
It might seem odd at first to consult a woman about men‘s issues. Can she really understand a man? Many men feel more comfortable talking to a woman and it really is a personal choice. From my experience it can work very well. Common issues are erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, lack of desire, sexual addiction, sexual dissatisfaction and relationship problems just to name a few. Contact me an give it a try. You may find it very helpful and game changing.
I have been invlved in mens work for 7 years now, I believe being connected to a group of men is deeply important in a healthy initiation into being the men we want to be in the world. Together we can create a safer enviroment.
