Sexual Problems Hypnotherapy & CBT in Newcastle & the North East
Sexual difficulties can be upsetting, frustrating and sometimes difficult to talk about. Problems with confidence, anxiety, sexual performance or intimacy can affect both your emotional wellbeing and your relationships, and worrying about the problem can sometimes make it increasingly difficult to overcome.
At Peaceful Minds in Newcastle, Sian Barnard provides professional therapy for sexual problems, combining CBT, clinical hypnotherapy and psychotherapy techniques to help address the psychological and emotional factors that may be contributing to your difficulties.
Understanding Sexual Problems and Anxiety
Sexual difficulties can have many different causes, and psychological factors such as anxiety, stress, low confidence, negative beliefs or previous experiences can sometimes play an important role.
You may find yourself worrying about whether you will be able to perform sexually, becoming excessively focused on physical responses or anticipating that something will go wrong. This can make it difficult to relax and enjoy intimacy naturally.
Following a difficult experience, you may also begin approaching future sexual situations with increased anxiety. This can create a cycle in which worrying about the problem increases pressure, making the difficulty more likely to happen again.
Therapy can help you understand these patterns and begin changing the thoughts and emotional responses surrounding sex and intimacy.
Reducing Anxiety and Building Sexual Confidence
Sian combines CBT with clinical hypnotherapy and psychotherapy techniques to provide an approach tailored to your individual concerns.
CBT can help you identify and challenge anxious predictions, unrealistic expectations and negative beliefs surrounding sex, performance and your own confidence.
Clinical hypnotherapy may be used alongside these techniques to encourage relaxation and reinforce calmer, more constructive patterns of thinking and responding.
Therapy can also help reduce excessive focus on performance and develop a healthier approach to intimacy, allowing you to feel more relaxed, confident and comfortable with yourself.
