Help with Sexual Problems

Help with sexual dysfunction.
Many people have sexual difficulties at some stage in their life, simply because life brings with it pressures, stresses and anxieties that can interfere with this aspect of life.
One of the most common sexual problems for women is vaginismus (vaginism), and for men, impotence, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
Inhibitions, erection difficulties and many more sexual health issues, can all be the result of stress, anxiety or even hidden shame or guilt. A fear of intimacy, or even commitment phobia, could be a considerable factor, too.
As with all client problems, matters of this nature are always treated with the utmost care, sensitivity and confidentiality, and always with the understanding that many people find it difficult to talk about private matters.
How to overcome sexual problems
The one thing we'd like to say right from the start, is don't worry, you CAN overcome sexual problems when you know how.
What we've found over the years, is that there are a few simple techniques that you can use to overcome sexual problems.
Sometimes, people who have sexual problems can often feel quite out of control and negative about things, because it can sometimes feel like they're stuck with it, and there's nothing that can be done about it (which of course there is!).
So the first thing to understand if you're looking to get over your sexual problems, is that that there IS something that can be done, and even that in itself can help you feel a bit more in control right from the start.
So, as we say, don't worry... we've found over the years, that there are a few simple techniques that you can use to overcome sexual problems... you CAN overcome sexual problems when you know how... it just might be that you need someone to show you how!

I visited Denise mainly at the Hitchin branch about a problem I had struggled with for many years - vaginismus.
Really hypnotherapy was one of my last hopes. With such a personal problem you need someone who is going to make you feel at ease & able to just say whatever comes into your head without judging you.
Denise did just that! She is such a friendly, down to earth lady, a pleasure to have met.
Even just on a general level I feel a lot calmer, more positive & can take things in my stride more.
Oh, & my husband is pretty pleased with the outcome too!
Thank you so much Denise!! We did it!!

A vaginismus client from Mill Hill, London
When I first contacted the practice I really didn't know what to expect and felt that I'd got to the end of the road - if this didn't work then that was 'it'. The crippling pain of vaginismus would be there to stay and I'd just have to accept it. From the first email to the last session I was treated with complete understanding and sympathy, which after getting on for a decade of not being taken seriously or just simply being 'dismissed' was a really welcome relief.
I still don't understand completely how hypnotherapy works, all I can say from my own experience is that with such a personal problem talking about it is really not easy - whether it's to another female or not. However if you can get over the first hurdle of picking up the phone to make the first appointment you've made huge progress.
Luckily for me it's worked and my husband and I are not only very pleased but also very grateful. Hopefully soon we'll be able to start trying for a family, something which just three months ago was completely out of the question.
Thank you again for all your help, I'm now pain free and feeling great!! 
...a vaginismus client from Burnham-on-Crouch
I was very sceptical going in. I had a problem with erectile dysfunction, and was about ready to turn to the viagra. I wasn't convinced that simply talking about it would help. But it did: the process isn't a miracle cure (it takes work and a lot of thinking) but it helped tremendously. The problem has been resolved. Paul was a pleasure to deal with and talking about the issue with him never felt awkward or difficult. The mental techniques he proposed began to have an impact almost immediately once I'd gotten the hang of them.
