Sexual Issues and Sex Disorders Help, Counselors in Bristol
Our society is obsessed with sex. You cannot turn on a tv show, listen to the radio, or go to a movie without hearing something about sex. Some of us teach our children the basics, but mostly we are left to learn for ourselves. Our first experiences with sex, whether good or bad, abusive or loving, can set the stage for our future sexual relationships and experiences. If you are looking for help with sexual issues in Bristol, Thriveworks can help. We have trained professionals that are ready to walk with you on whatever journey you find yourself. Whether you are dealing with a sexual issue in your current relationship, or trying to resolve a painful experience from your past, Thriveworks therapists and counselors in Bristol can help.
There are a wide variety of sexual issues and problems. You may not be trying to work on a specific problem, but rather be trying to improve your current relationship or marriage. If you are struggling with a more serious concern, this list may be useful to you. Some common types of sexual issues include:
- Sexual orientation
- Anxiety about sex or sexual performance
- Body image issues
- Sex addiction

Sex is the closest form of intimacy, and when there are issues or problems, the couple can feel distant and experience friction. Thriveworks couples counselors and sex therapists in Bristol can address these concerns, and help the couple move forward in a healthy manner, while addressing each person’s fears or worries. We understand that many sexual issues have long histories, and cannot be resolved in only a few sessions. Trust, fear, and self-esteem issues can all play a part in a sexual relationship. We will take the time to address each of these individually.
Perhaps you are not in a relationship at all, and simply trying to deal with your own sexual history and issues. If you have suffered abuse, it can take years to reestablish a healthy emotional state with regards to sex. Thriveworks therapists and counselors in Bristol can help you make this a reality. We will help you develop a plan of action, walk with you as you take the steps necessary for real change, and help you assess your progress.
