Trained specialist staff operate this Specialist
Psychosexual Service:
What is Psychosexual Therapy?
The
service aims to help clients with sexual and
relationship difficulties. Trained specialists will
work with you to look at the problems you are
having. These may be physical, psychological or a
mixture of the two. There will be no physical
examinations or the prescribing of medication. If
this is required there may be a need to contact your
GP.
At
first the therapist will assess your specific needs.
They will want to hear about your problems as to why
you are accessing this service. They will explore
with you some of your feelings and emotions about
them.
At
the end of this discussion, which lasts
approximately 45 minutes, a plan for your future
therapy will be discussed with you.
This
may involve further appointments with this service,
a referral to another specialist or back to your
referrer. If you decide to continue to attend this
service, you will be advised of the options open to
you.
Is
the Service Confidential?
The
consultations given by this service are strictly
confidential. Your notes will be kept private and
secure. They are not available to anyone else unless
you give specific consent to do so. We will be
writing to whoever referred you to us, to keep them
informed of your progress. If you are worried about
the information that we may include in these
letters, please discuss this with us.
As
with all Health Care Professionals we are obliged to
break confidentiality if concerns regarding the risk
of serious harm to you or others arise. If this were
to be the case, we would always discuss this with
you first.
Will this service be right for you?
If
you are comfortable with the idea of exploring your
difficulties in a safe, private and confidential
setting and you are happy to be guided through this
process by a trained specialist, then this service
may be right for you.
