Psychotherapeutic foundation: Penis-Centred Therapy®

I practice a psychological therapy developed over many years that I named, aptly, Penis-Centred Therapy (PCT). PCT focuses on helping men address the psychological and behavioural aspects of concerns relating to their penis and sexual functioning. While the penis provides the therapeutic focus, the whole person is considered throughout.

Eclectic and targeted therapy

PCT draws on the best of therapeutic approaches and knowledge relevant to men's sexual functioning. Therapeutic sources include contemporary psychosexual therapy, general psychotherapy/counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, and hypnotherapy. The worth of these methods across many psychological problems is clinically established; they’re ‘evidence based’.

PCT is always tailored for the individual client and his problem(s). Each and every client is considered a supremely special person. No client deserves or receives formulaic therapy methods. Therapy is conducted in accord with a client's unique history and needs.

A place to be open and to be oneself.

Whilst working with me, a client always has a safe and supportive environment. Everything that a client says will be attentively listened to and considered. His experiences and troubles will be heard.

Focus on the individual: you

Psychosexual therapy often concerns helping intimate partners with their relationships. By contrast, PCT focuses on you as an individual with the sexual. You may or may not be in a relationship. Our priority will anyway be YOUR issues, YOUR desires, YOUR fulfilments, YOUR pleasure. Of course, we'll still address partner/relationship considerations as needed.

Your pleasure’s importance

I'm 100% ‘sex positive’. This philosophy sees all types of consensual sexual activities as healthy, normal and pleasurable aspects of the human condition. Interest in sexual acivities solely for the sake of raw sexual pleasure is absolutely legitimate, as is focus on wanting and obtaining raw sexual pleasure for the sake it. Further, there’s no moral differentiation from this position between different consensual sexual activities; engagement in any is a matter of personal choice. Your pleasure - however derived - is paramount.

Your personal sovereignty

The sex positive stance considers your personal sovereignity over sexual choices - and over any aspect of your sexuality - to be absolute. You have the freedom and highest authority to engage in and be what you wish to (with consensual agreement of any participants) and to not engage in or be what you don't wish to.

I'll hold your soverignity dearly. As needed, we can look at it and reinforce it. Attention to your personal sovereignity will positively permeate your life in all ways, as well as with the sexual.

Online therapy

For this service I provide treatment sessions online, via (Teams) video-calls. Online therapy is now not uncommon. It isn't a lesser medium of treatment. Research indicates its effectiveness matches that of ‘in person’ therapy.

In principal, a client, can be situated anywhere for the video call with me. Privacy and absence of interruption are important, as is the freedom to let oneself be immersed in a session.

Sessions’ ease

Understandably, a client may be initially apprehensive over a video call with an effective stranger. He doesn't have to be. Experience shows this apprehension quickly diminishes upon getting started. The interaction soon feels like a traditional client-therapist one.

Similarly, a client may well anticipate being awkward over disclosing highly personal details. Have faith that awkwardness too will melt – surprisingly quickly – once we’re underway. Having you comfortable as possible in the sessions is integral to what I do. Becoming at ease with talking openly about yourself and your sexual functioning is, in fact, itself therapeutic.
