Profile
For 17 years, Angela has been the lead for Sex Therapy in an NHS Clinic established to help men and women with a very wide range of sexual difficulties and is an accredited member of the College of Sexual & Relationship Therapy (COSRT). She has vast experience working with men with erectile dysfunction, premature and inhibited ejaculation, loss of sexual self-confidence, sexual anxiety and body image issues. As part of a multi-disciplinary team, she is knowledgeable about all aspects of sexual medicine and values working closely with medical colleagues to provide the best outcome for men with sexual difficulties.
Angela strongly believes that sex is good for our physical and mental health, a vital part of most relationships and an intrinsic aspect of what it means to be human. It is therefore important that help is offered to men who experience sexual difficulties and Sex Therapy provides a valuable treatment option either on its own or alongside medical interventions.
As Angela explains ‘The long-term impact of sexual dysfunction can be devastating for both the individual and their partner, for many men it will rob them of everything they value most, their self-respect, sexual confidence and the most intimate part of their relationship.’
