Pauline Joyce

I am a Psychotherapist and Sex & Relationship Therapist.   I work with individuals, couples and relationships to help explore and understand the difficulties they are experiencing.  You may be feeling overwhelmed, sad, isolated, fearful, anxious, or depressed, perhaps you need help to cope with a crisis or sexual issue.  Counselling, psychotherapy and sex therapy can help you to develop a better understanding of yourself and your relationships.

Imitate relationships can move to the bottom of the pile when we are juggling home, work, and families.  Communicating with and understanding our partners can be difficult, we may find ourselves not feeling heard or understood.  Sexual of psychological issues can leave us feeling overwhelmed by shame, guilt, and anger.  Childhood may impact on our confidence, wellbeing, relationships and beliefs around sex.   Infertility issues can lead to a deep feeling of pain, shame and guilt.  Individuals might look for intimacy outside their primary relationship, the impact of this discovery can be devastating.  Compulsive Sexual Behaviour sometimes referred to as Sexual Addiction can cause an individual and relationship great distress.  Sometimes our bodies let us down, sex issues, for example, vaginismus, loss of desire, erectile difficulties, rapid ejaculation, impaired or delayed ejaculation and anxiety around sex or sexuality can cause much distress.  As a Psychotherapist and specialist Sex and Relationship Therapist I can offer you the support you need.  

I am registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and The College of Sex and Relationship Therapists (RegCOSRT).  I undertook a training in Psychodynamic and Person Centred Therapy at the University of Hertfordshire.  I then went on to complete a Diploma in Psychodynamic therapy before completing a PGDip in Psychosexual and Relationship Studies accredited by Middlesex University.  I am currently undertaking an Advanced Diploma in Contemporary Relationships Studies to expand my knowledge and understanding.  

I work online with clients, before starting my private practice, I worked for a North London charity offering emotional and relationship therapy, a central London clinic specialising in support, and professional therapeutic training in compulsive sexual behaviour and a Hertfordshire centre specialising in sex therapy.  

I offer a free no obligation 15 minute consultation to answer any questions you may have. You can also view my website https://www.healingpsychotherapyandcounselling.com
