Sex can be an important part of a relationship, fostering a sense of closeness and intimacy. At Relate Birmingham and Black Country, we understand that everyone faces challenges in their sex life at some point.

How Can Sex Therapy Help?
Talking about sex can feel daunting, and we understand that. Our sex therapy provides a supportive environment where you can openly discuss your concerns without fear or stigma.
We address a wide range of issues that may include:
- Different sex drives within your relationship
- Erection or ejaculation concerns
- Issues with penetrative sex
- Difficulty reaching orgasm
- Lack of enjoyment or feeling stuck in a routine
- Health issues impacting your sex life
- Life changes, like pregnancy or menopause, that affect intimacy
You can attend sessions individually or with your partner.
What to Expect:
Your first session will be an opportunity to explore the reasons you’re seeking support and discuss what you hope to achieve through counselling. Our counsellors will explain how the process works and how it can help. After this session, you decide whether to continue with ongoing support.
