Sex Addiction Treatment UK

The UK's first sex addiction treatment programme for men and women. Pioneered by Dr. Thaddeus Birchard, this programme has helped treat people with compulsive patterns of sexual behaviour for over 10 years.

What is Sexual Addiction?

Put simply it is a pattern of sexual behaviour that brings with it harmful consequences but is repetitious and ultimately unfulfilling. It feels out of control, preoccupying and is normally used to anaesthetise negative feeling states. It is defined not by 'what you do' but 'why you do it'.

The Marylebone Centre provides specialised help for people with sexual addiction and compulsivity behaviour as well as a wider range of sexual and relationship problems. It can include anything from:

How do I know if I have a Sex Addiction?

This website has information to help you understand and identify whether you have a problem. If you feel you have a problem, the Marylebone Centre has over 10 years experience running sexual adiction treatment programmes and can help. The important step is the identification of a specific problem and taking action to receive professional advice or treatement.

Individual or group sessions for female partners

Our psychotherapist, Joy Rosendale also runs individual or group sessions for female partners to help them learn how to respond to the problems of sexual addiction.

Marriages and relationship counselling

We also work with marriages and relationships to help couples get their relationship back on track; restoring meaning and trust in the relationship after a partner has acknowledged a sexual addiction.
