Sometimes referred to as sex addiction or porn addiction, compulsive sexual behaviours can begin to feel difficult to control and may have an impact on relationships, work, finances, emotional wellbeing or how you feel about yourself.

​

You might find yourself repeatedly using pornography, sexual apps, seeking sexual encounters or engaging in other sexual behaviours despite wanting to make changes. For some people, these behaviours can become a way of managing difficult emotions, stress, loneliness, anxiety or other experiences.

 

I work from a compulsive sexual behaviour perspective, rather than assuming that particular sexual interests, behaviours or levels of desire are inherently problematic. Together, we can explore the patterns around the behaviour, what may be triggering or maintaining it, and the role it may be playing in your life.

 

Our work can focus on developing greater choice and control, finding alternative ways of responding to difficult emotions or situations, and building a relationship with sex and sexuality that feels more aligned with how you want to live.
