Welcome
Whether you’re single or in relationship, how you conduct your sex life is up to you – as long as you enjoy it and it’s not harming anyone else. However, if sex and/or relationships aren't giving you pleasure or are causing you concern, then talking things through can help.
I work with individuals, couples and poly relationships. Many of the people I see find talking about sex difficult – sometimes excruciating. I help put people at ease and find ways to explain what is happening. I am able to talk about sexual activity, including BDSM and fetish, in an open and frank way. What's more, I'm non-judgmental, empathetic, free from jargon and down to earth.
I am an integrative therapist who is rooted in person centred therapy so I work with you to help you figure out what you want and how to get there. I also draw on CBT, existential, psychodynamic and Gestalt theories, as well as the tools and exercises specific to psychosexual and relationship therapy. Sometimes it isn't enough just to talk about what's going on. For problems such as sexual dysfunction, arousal, desire, libido, climax and intimacy issues, I can give you exercises that you work on at home (with or without a partner). Please be assured that there is no touching or nudity in sessions.
As a member of The Association for the Treatment of People with Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity (ATSAC), I am also able to help you manage any compulsive feelings. So if you feel your behaviour, porn or fantasy life is getting out of hand, we can work out what you want, manage any triggers and, if need be, find things to put in place of your acting out.
If you have experienced trauma and are fearful about recounting these experience(s), there is a lot we can do by working with how you feel today, in the here and now, without the reliving the past.

The next step
- If you would like to book a session, send me a text, write me an email or leave me a voicemail and I will call you back. If there is a particular time you don't want me to call then please state this in the message.
- You can also send me a text, or email me at sarah@sarahberrytherapy.co.uk or text/call 07581 231313 and we can take it from there.
- We then arrange an initial session on the phone, Skype, FaceTime or in my Islington office.
- After this, you can let me know if you would like to commit to therapy.
- I usually see clients on a weekly basis. If this isn't possible, I do have a few slots available for fortnightly or ad hoc sessions during the day.
- You are free to leave therapy any time you wish.
