Alison Clarke
Relationship Counselling & Sex Therapy in North Oxford

Couples Counsellor and Sex Therapist in Oxford

I am a couples counsellor and sex therapist working in London and Oxford. I have been practising for almost 20 years, working with couples and individuals with relationship problems. My clients include both sexes, all ages, any sexual orientation.

The therapy can be long term or short term and examples of the problems I work with include

constant arguing/persistent anger/ breakdown in communications

stresses resulting from difficult decisions (around children, employment, money, fertility)

couples feeling that they're stuck in a rut or growing apart over time

new partners wishing to avoid repeating problems in past relationships

relationships coming to an end

Sexual problems that I work with include

problems talking about sex

erection problems

problems reaching orgasm

painful intercourse

difficulties relating to experiences of sexual abuse

sexual addictions

changes for the couple due to one partner's illness/surgery

impacts of a disclosed or discovered affair


These can often be very difficult to talk about at home.

My aim is to help both partners get a better understanding of what is causing and maintaining their relationship problems so that they can make changes and choices about their future. This might involve offering practical suggestions towards new ways of relating, or looking at deeper issues together, to solve or manage their problem, or supporting them in the process of ending their relationship. I provide a safe, respectful, confidential and non-judgemental environment and it is central to my beliefs that couples who engage in this process deserve, and can make good progress in, such an environment.

I am a professionally qualified counsellor and sex therapist and I work to a professional code of ethics and my work is fully insured and supervised.

My couples counselling and sex therapy practice is in Summertown, North Oxford and is easily accessible by bus, bike or car from most Oxford locations (with available parking).
