10 Sex Resolutions for the New Year

Sex therapist Aoife Drury of drurytherapy.com explains what sex therapy is: “It is a form of talking therapy that tends to occur weekly, and it normally consists of exercises to do at home and to discuss with your therapist.

“You don’t have to be in a relationship in order to engage, nor do you need to be thinking about finding a partner. It’s a specialist, integrative way of working, with attention paid to all of the contributors — psychological, biological, pharmacological, relational and contextual — to sexual problems. We tend to reflect on your childhood experience with an emphasis on sexual development and experiences. This helps us better understand influences that may have impacted you over the years.”
