Sex Therapist Basingstoke

Dr Ellie Birtley is a sex therapist located near Basingstoke in Midhurst, who is focused on improving your sexual and relationship wellbeing.

Sex and sexual concerns or problems can feel like difficult, or even embarrassing for people to talk about. Whether this be with a partner or someone else close to you, it may feel overly personal or a tough subject to bring up. Speaking with a therapist – someone who is separate from your daily life – can be the first step on the road to alleviate the stress created around whatever issue you may be experiencing, and it can be much easier to open up in a safe space.

Treating sexual problems is important because your sexual health can have a massive impact on your general wellbeing and personal relationships. I can employ a variety of both physical and psychological treatments, depending on the condition or problem, from my therapy room close to Basingstoke helping treat or manage whatever may be causing anxieties during, or through, sex. In some cases, combinations of physical and psychological treatments may be the most successful path to go.

As a medically qualified professional, I can work closely with your GP if tests or investigations are required to fully assess your problem and make an accurate diagnosis. They do not need to be based near the Basingstoke area for me to do this. Additionally, due to my medical qualification I can also prescribe treatments, such as: tablets, injections, and/or pumps for erectile difficulties.

Furthermore, as an experienced sex therapist, I am able to deploy an integrated approach, meaning that I can help provide therapy using numerous approaches and techniques.
