Sexual Issues

Many people experience sexual difficulties at some point during their life.  According to NHS statistics 10% of men and up to 50% of women are affected by a sexual problem.  Sometimes the problem resolves itself but sometimes professional help may be needed.

It is strongly recommended that any sexual problems are discussed with your GP before help is sought via hypnotherapy.  This ensures that there is not a physical problem causing the difficulties.

Sexual difficulties can occur early in a person’s life, develop suddenly after a previously satisfying sex life or develop gradually.

Some of the most common sexual problems experienced by men include performance anxiety, sexual dysfunction and premature ejaculation.  The most common sexual problem in women is vaginismus.

How can hypnotherapy help with Sexual Issues?

Once the GP has confirmed that there are not any physical factors contributing to the sexual problem it is likely that there is a psychological cause.  Hypnotherapy can be very effective at dealing with any underlying psychological issues which are often triggered by anxiety, stress or fear. The number of sessions required will vary dependent upon the level of anxiety/stress/fear.  Some clients have required just two sessions whereas others have needed six.
