Amanda Barge
Psychosexual and relationship therapist, BACP-registered counsellor, and COSRT member
Desire, closeness, and confidence aren't fixed. They shift with what's happening in your life, your body, and your relationship, and Amanda has spent 18 years helping people understand why. She works with individuals and couples on everything from low desire to the changes menopause brings, blending emotion-focused and attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, and a real respect for the body.
With men, that often means erection issues, which she sees as a response to stress and pressure, not a sign something is wrong with you. What people notice first is the space she creates: warm, curious, and free of judgment.
People come to her for
- Low or lost desire, alone or with a partner
- Rebuilding intimacy and connection in a long-term relationship
- Navigating how menopause changes desire and sex
- Recovering trust and closeness after infidelity
- Erection issues driven by stress or pressure rather than the body
- Feeling more confident and less anxious about sex
Make investing in relationships the norm.
