How Sex Therapy can help

Nerida is a highly experienced and qualified clinical psychologist and sex therapist who provides evidence based sex and relationship therapy. 

Nerida provides sex therapy to treat a variety of sexual health concerns. She can assist you to increase your libido, to learn what you find arousing, and to increase satisfaction and pleasure during intimacy. Nerida can assist in reducing your anxiety about sexual functioning so that you can sustain erections and have more control over ejaculation. Nerida also treats painful sex and can work with you to reduce pain during penetrative sex. As a sex therapist, Nerida can support you to reduce hypersexual behaviours such as porn usage if this is a concern for you. Nerida also works with clients diagnosed with an STI to reduce anxiety and shame related to intimacy. Nerida can also assist you in exploring kinks and fetishes and to reduce shame about what you find arousing. 

Nerida can provide sex and relationship therapy to help you understand patterns in relationships and what has led you to choose certain partners or unhealthy relationships. As a sex therapist she can support you to reduce anxiety about dating and relationships and works with clients to form healthy relationships. Nerida can also help you to reduce ambivalence about your relationship if you are considering separation. 

Whether your goal is to increase pleasure, reduce anxiety, or reconnect with your partner, Nerida provides practical, evidence-based strategies to help you develop a healthier and more satisfying sex life.
