Welcome to my Website
I work with couples and individuals experiencing relationship and sexual difficulties, and have been doing this for 20 years. I am Relate trained for Couple Counselling and Psychosexual work and use a variety of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Transactional Analysis and 12 Step Fellowships. I work in Central London, and Tunbridge Wells.
I am accredited with the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (www.cosrt.org) which means I have helped many people with problems such as erectile dysfunction, desire disorders and pain or fear around sexual functioning.
I specialise in working with sexually compulsive behaviour and have trained with the world pioneer, Patrick Carnes, in Arizona.
Those struggling with ‘out of control’ internet pornography use, multiple affairs, phone line sex, visiting massage parlours and sex workers can benefit from help and support. I work especially with wives or partners coping with the impact of learning about these problems. I also offer sessions for couples wanting to go forward and rebuild trust.
You can contact me at info@joyrosendale.com for further information on any of these topics, or for an appointment.
What it's like to live with a sex addict:
Eight years into her marriage, Rachel started to wonder if her husband had lost interest in sex. “He’d always go to bed later than me and often made excuses when I brought it up,” explains the 41-year-old. “So when he sat me down one day to tell me he was a sex addict, I actually laughed – although I soon stopped when he disclosed night upon night of watching pornography for hours on end and numerous short-lived affairs. My life fell apart.”
