Questions people often hesitate to ask
When should I consult for a sexual-health concern?
Consider an assessment when the concern is persistent, causes distress, affects confidence or relationships, began after a medicine change, or is accompanied by anxiety, low mood or avoidance.
Is a psychosexual consultation confidential?
Yes. The discussion is handled with professional confidentiality, subject to the standard legal and safety limits that apply to medical care.
Are sexual difficulties always psychological?
No. Physical health, hormones, sleep, substances, medicines, anxiety, mood and relationship factors can overlap. Assessment helps identify the likely contributors and whether another specialist is needed.
Can I attend without my partner?
Yes. An individual consultation is entirely appropriate. A partner may join later when useful and comfortable for both people, but this is not compulsory.
