Therapy FAQs

The most common Cliterally community questions, answered.

What is psychosexual therapy? 

It's a form of talking therapy that focuses specifically on sexual difficulties and concerns, such as low desire, pain during sex, or performance anxiety, often alongside broader relationship or emotional factors.

Can I go to sex or relationship therapy alone?

Yes, absolutely. Plenty of people attend individually, whether the issue feels personal or relational, and it can still support the relationship as a whole.

No. Sex therapy is entirely talking-based. Any physical exercises suggested (like sensate focus) are always done privately at home, never in session.

It varies hugely depending on the issue and the person, from a handful of sessions to longer-term work. Your therapist will talk through an approach that fits your situation., non-sexual moment, be specific about what you're curious about, and frame it as an invitation rather than a demand. Their reaction will tell you a lot.
