Therapy for Sex Issues - Therapy in London

Issues with sex starts with understanding your issues surrounding your sex life.

Sex issues can be one or several common problems:

Low/no sex drive
Unsure for your sexual identity
Low enjoyment of sex
High sex drive
Sex Addiction
Erectile dysfunction
Inability to climax
Unable to feel connected

Your own issue all depends on how you feel towards sex, and how it is affecting your relationships. Once you know what these feelings are, then you can start to understand where they came from and how to resolve them.

What causes sex issues?

As with all mental health issues, having a problem within your sex life evolves from past events, thoughts, feelings and actions.

Intercourse is a rare moment in everyone’s day to day life where you need to be at your most secure and relaxed state. This can be an issue for many if you find yourself either distracted, stressed or tense.

If you are finding yourself unable to perform or find enjoyment from it, then the cause will most likely be something from your past burdening your thoughts. This can create a block to you being able to really relax.

We are all built to protect ourselves from hurt or danger. Anxiety and stress is included in that felt sense of danger. So when you find yourself trying to relax during intercourse i.e being in your most vulnerable state, you can find your mind racing rather than relaxing.

How therapy can help.

Counselling is a highly effective way to reorder and assess these thoughts and issues that have been burdening your mind.

Along with understanding how you are feeling and what needs to be resolved, you will also be able to shine a light on what your mind is attempting to protect you from.

How Therapy in London can help?

We aim to create a space where you can find that vulnerable state and stay within it, rather than run from it.

When beginning counselling, you must have trust and transparency as the forefront to the success of each session. This is why we want to find the ideal therapist who is able to be there for you during this time of growth and positive change.

Everyone is talking about Weaponised Incompetence. Why is this still an issue?

Paulyne Antoniou

17th November 2021

If the digital age has brought us anything, it has been more open communication. What I’ve seen very recently, and has blown up on social media in the mum community especially, is discussions about weaponised incompetence. When Mad Men marketing campaigns sold Hoovers and tumble dryers, you were pitched the breadwinner and the homemaker dynamic.…

Therapy is Your Unbiased Space (GB News appearance)

Philip Karahassan

10th November 2021

Recently I made an appearance live on GB News after BACP approached me to comment on why many have been feeling a little more anxious in the build-up to Christmas. I was more than happy to comment. I believe that even though many feel as if they should get back to ‘normal’ after experiencing several…

Men’s Mental Health Month | Let’s All Open Up!

Paulyne Antoniou

3rd November 2021

Why don’t men talk? Men’s mental health is being brought to light, but it’s still a slow progression. As we constantly work to find real equality between genders and NB (and we still have a long way to go), what Men’s Mental Health Month can do is be a real driving force in this. And…

Philip was amazing! Not only does he provide an excellent service with detailed, professional & empathy driven advise, but above all else he actually cares about his clients and what he does. World class.

I spent several months with Philip, and whilst our time together felt short nearly a year later i’m still able to see a profound change to many areas of my life as a consequence of our sessions. Philip taught me how to ask myself the right questions when I couldn’t make sense of the patterns I was falling into. Personally suffering from anxiety and post-traumatic stress, Philip helped me gain a better understanding of my trigger points, how to handle flashbacks/disturbing thought. Ultimately, Philip helped me to make decisions about seeking professional help but I’ll certainly be back once life allows (covid) to continue our weekly sessions. Cannot recommend more!

Provides a good and very useful service. I’ve been to other therapists and this is by far the best so far.

Philip is a first class Psychotherapist. He allows you the space to talk through your problems, but listens very carefully to what you say. He then starts to challenge and question, to help to uncover the true source of your thoughts and feelings. He encourages action to help you deal properly with problems, rather than just sympathy to help you to live with them. I thoroughly recommend him.

Although it was during a tough time, COVID, was still able to help me get back into course with my life and sorting out problems which I faced internally! Many thanks, all the best

I have been working with Phil at Therapy in London for over a year for business coaching. Phil has provided an excellent service in that time. I have made steady progress with my personal and professional development, which is in no small part due to Phil’s patience and flexibility using different coaching styles and different (integrated) therapeutic approaches, in a safe and comfortable environment. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for an effective business coach or therapist.

I cannot recommend Philip enough. I initially contacted Philip expecting a quick fix to help me navigate a tough period in my life. He not only helped me identify and overcome that initial problem, but I have come to understand and explore more areas of my life which were hindering me and through working with Philip, I am able to implement lasting change which has changed my life for the better. Philip provides a friendly, safe and non-judgemental space unlike any other. After being sceptical of therapy and seeking a quick fix, two years later I still see Philip to maintain my general wellbeing and to continue to better myself without feeling pressured to stay. Philip offers no ‘quick fix’ solutions, only hard work, understanding and dedication to his clients.

What can I say about Phillip. I met him on the hardest time of my life. A time I was dealing with so much. Heartbreak, grief and much more personal problems. He was attentive since day one. Helped learn so much about myself, while he was clearing my brain with all the tangled thoughts I had my whole life. I saw him for the best part of three years and let me tell you the person that walked in has nothing to do with the person that walked out of his therapy room three years later.

I initially contacted Phil after a particularly tough period in my life. I wanted to fix a certain issue and quickly move on. Phil not only helped me addressed the issue, but helped me tackle the bigger problems in my life that had lead me to that point. Our sessions expanded into a much broader look at my overall well-being and as a result I feel like a much happier and content version of myself. Phil has he a very practical approach, he gives exercises that help you keep a clear mindset in between sessions. Phil offers insights into human behaviour which really helped me understand that most of our day to day problems are commonplace and reactionary. I trust Phil, he is nonjudgmental and empathetic and I honestly feel like he cares about his clients and their wellbeing. I would highly recommend Phil if you are willing to dedicate the time to work on yourself. The best thing about Phil is his warm demeanour, even from the first session completely puts you as ease and you feel like you are speaking with a old friend.

Although it was during a tough time, COVID, was still able to help me get back into course with my life and sorting out problems which I faced internally! Many thanks, all the bestDuring my time spent with Philip I found his help invaluable. His style is very relaxed and ‘current’. Speaking to Philip on a weekly basis was like chatting to a good friend in a pub, but a friend that listens intently and is able to give perspective to your own thoughts. Throughout my sessions I never felt like I was pressured into continuing for the sake of it, and only when we both agreed that the time had come to cease was that option exercised. The door has been left open should I wish to continue in the future. Thanks for all your support and advice, your guidance has helped me feel positive about the future, and given me a place of solace during turbulent times. I wish you all the best.Although it was during a tough time, COVID, was still able to help me get back into course with my life and sorting out problems which I faced internally!

I was very sceptical to begin with, as i’d never had therapy before. Philip provides a completely non judgemental environment where i could relax and be completely open. He has helped me manage, control and understand my emotions much better. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking help!

I’ve been going to Philip for almost 6 months now and couldn’t recommend him enough. He instantly made me feel comfortable and put me at ease as soon as I walked through the door. Philip has helped me tremendously with both my professional and personal life. He’s given me small assignments to do between sessions which has really helped me moving forward, he’s even lent me some of his own books that he thought would help me. I look forward to growing more as a person, with Philips help!

Philip helped me tremendously through a really tough period in my life. He helped me deal with both my anxiety and depression in small manageable ways that made that made sense to me. He taught me techniques and processes to deal with any problem I faced that I would normally really struggle with. I can’t recommend Philip enough to anyone that is seeking help.

Philip has helped me with issues that I have had for many years that have stopped me from being the person I’m meant to me. After each of my visits I could feel myself becoming a stronger more grounded person. He gave me the tools to self help when little blips appeared before they could manifest themselves into bigger, negative thoughts and feelings. He has been an enormous help on my forward Journey and I highly recommend him A H _ South London
