Sex educator, sex coach or sex therapist: who do you need?

They overlap, but they're not the same. Here's a quick way to work out where to start.

Sex educator

Teaches the facts: anatomy, pleasure, consent, sexual health. Often through workshops, courses, books and free content. Great if you want to learn.

Sex coach

Works with you 1:1 on goals, like confidence, desire or communication with a partner. Practical and future-focused. Coaching isn't a regulated profession in the UK, so check training.

Sex therapist

Sex therapist

A qualified therapist for deeper stuff: trauma, anxiety, long-standing pain or relationship difficulties. In the UK, look for COSRT registration.
