Our approach draws on CBT, psychodynamic therapy, schema therapy, and trauma-informed work — recognising that compulsive sexual behaviour very often has roots in earlier emotional pain, attachment difficulties, or trauma.

Compulsive sexual behaviour very often has roots in earlier emotional pain, attachment difficulties, or trauma. Our multidisciplinary structure means we can address the full picture — drawing on our COSRT-accredited psychosexual therapists, EMDR specialists for underlying trauma, psychiatry for clinical review, and psychodynamic practitioners for deeper relational work — all within one team, without the need for external referral.
For sex and pornography addiction, this means looking beyond the behaviour itself to understand what it has been doing — what pain, loneliness, anxiety, or disconnection it has been managing, and what earlier experiences have shaped those needs. Psychodynamic and attachment-focused approaches are central to this deeper exploratory work. Mindfulness-based approaches develop the capacity to tolerate the emotional states that trigger compulsive behaviour without acting on them. Somatic approaches address the embodied dimensions of arousal, compulsion, and shame. EMDR processes the earlier traumatic or adverse experiences that so often underlie compulsive sexual behaviour. CBT and schema therapy are integrated where restructuring of patterns and beliefs is a useful complement to the deeper work.
