Confidential Psychosexual counselling .

ABOUT DR Lucy Evans

I am a doctor, who worked for 25 years for the NHS in Sexual Health and realising how important the emotional life was in the experience of sex and sexual problems, I undertook training in Psychosexual Medicine and then ran NHS psychosexual Clinics for 20 years.

I also work as a Sexual Offences Examiner, examining victims of rape and sexual abuse and so I and am a trauma informed Therapist, who understands the trauma of abuse.

How can Psychosexual Therapy help?

Psychosexual Therapy is a specialist branch of Psychotherapy that focuses on sexual problems and relationship difficulties. Sex involves our emotions as well as our bodies and problems can arise both from physical problems, emotional responses or a combination of the two. I offer a non-judgemental, empathetic space in which to explore these difficulties and can provide support and guidance.


Psychosexual Therapy is not prescriptive, and cannot solve all your problems, but it can empower you to find your own solutions to your sexual difficulties. Some of the concerns I address are:

  • Painful sex (Dyspareunia and Vaginismus) or vaginal
  • Penetration isn't possible
  • Menopause and the effects on self and sexual function
  • Loss of desire/Loss of libido
  • Difficulties with arousal and orgasm
  • Erectile difficulties
  • Psychosexual problems resulting from infertility or pregnancy loss
  • Sexual difficulties following unwanted sexual experiences
  • Sexual difficulties as a result of illness such as Cancer or chronic medical conditions

Psychosexual Therapy can be short term or longer term, according to your requirements and is for anyone over the age of 16. My practice promotes equality, diversity and inclusion.
