Psychosexual Therapy

​

All couples go through stages within their marriage where they don’t have the time or energy for regular sex or they have issues with intimacy. If this is something you feel you are struggling with, then Amanah is the right place for you In sha’ Allah. For Muslims the Qurʾān as well as the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ  provide clear guidance as to the importance of a loving marital relationship and sexual intamcy is a core part of that. 

 

“And it is among His signs that He has created for you wives from among yourselves, so that you may find tranquility in them, and He has created love and kindness between you”.

 

It’s natural to want better sex with your spouse and sometimes there are specific reasons for your difficulties which can be resolved with intervention. If you are struggling with any aspect of your sex life, don’t be embarrassed about it, ask for help. 

​

​
