Charlotte Simpson

I have 13 years post-qualifying experience, specialising in couples counselling, relationship counselling for individuals and psychosexual therapy for couples and individuals. My style of working is integrative, blending psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions are 50 minutes and take place weekly. Fees for couples and individuals: £100.

Some common sexual difficulties I offer help to address are:

Loss of libido or lack of sexual desire (if that’s a problem). Sex in long-term relationships goes through fits and starts, as well as ‘stops’. All is not lost!

Erectile difficulties.

Premature/early ejaculation.

Inability/difficulty reaching orgasm (anorgasmia), delayed/absent ejaculation.

Vaginismus/dyspareunia & painful sex.

Sexual phobias or body-image issues.

Difficulties with intimacy and closeness.

These issues may be life-long or acquired; human sexual functioning is precarious territory and can be hugely affected by external factors, such as anxiety, life-changing events, illness and ageing. My approach to sexual problems is ‘bio-psycho-social’, integrating all areas that need consideration, such as biological, psychological and social factors.

I offer my clients the space to practise talking about sex and to discover more about their own sexual world, without judgement.

People often encounter sexual problems to do with desire, arousal and orgasm, but as human beings are all unique, sexual problems can present in different ways that might seem uncommon, but that’s okay.

As a couples counsellor/relationship therapist, I can offer help in addressing common relationship problems, such as conflict, communication issues, infidelity, family relationships, low confidence & self-esteem, depression & anxiety and misunderstanding each other. Perhaps you want to be in a relationship, but can’t seem to find the ‘right’ partner, or are avoiding closeness.

If you are experiencing sexual or relationship difficulties, please do email me.

Sessions take place face-to-face (in-person) in London NW11. Sessions may also take place online via Zoom, if appropriate.
