My consultation with Lorraine was incredibly informative and reassuring
5
Lorraine normalises a far from ‘normal’ topic with a gentle but mercurial ease, making me feel utterly free of the myriad of emotional and psychological blockades I would normally face. This is all new to me and I wasn’t sure what to expect or how I’d feel, but I couldn’t have felt more relaxed and at ease.

A difficult subject to discuss, but Lorraine makes everything so matter of fact and easy. I have had occasional advice over 16 years and she has increased my confidence and tutored me on the mechanics of sexual activity after operations and at an advanced age. I cannot recommend her enough. So many more men could have an active sex life if they saw Lorraine and took her advice.

After over a decade of worsening erectile dysfunction, culminating in the total inability to have penetrative intercourse for a number of years despite using all available over-the-counter medication , I apprehensively took steps to address the matter. Following a neurological check, I was referred to Lorraine as a psychosexual practitioner and nurse. At the very start of our first session, it was clear that in addition to being professional and knowledgeable, Lorraine was an attentive listener, extremely supportive and already starting to formulate a plan to help me. She explained that she believed the majority of my problem was psychological but that the most effective way to combat this was to reassure me by helping me to achieve a full erection before addressing my mind-set. Although totally trusting Lorraine, I must admit that I was sceptical. However, during only our third session after Lorraine's analysis and selection of medication, I achieved a full erection. I have never felt so relieved, satisfied and totally over-the-moon. I now look forward to the second chapter of our counselling. I had totally given up and had become depressingly resigned to spending the rest of my life with ED. I urge anyone else who has reached this miserable state to give Lorraine a call.

A lady with a wonderful ability to put one at ease at a most sensitive time. Her natural charm and friendly manner allowed an easy flow of conversation regarding the future relationship with one’s partner, and the possibilities of continuing a fulfilling love life. As a result of my sessions with her and the unerring support of my lady I am able to continue with exactly that. Derek R

Really good sympathetic advice None better

A very refreshing and open way of dealing with a delicate subject. It is great to know that Prostate surgery and everything that they do not tell you before surgery does not mean that some return to normality is not possible. It may take time but Lorraine is there the help when you most need it.

Lorraine has been extremely helpful to provide me with advice on treatment options and how to access this via my GP. I was left with the feeling that Lorraine with be there to support me through this journey, I certainly welcome her open and friendly approach!

I feel very fortunate to have been recommended to contact Lorraine by a friend. After successful Prostate Cancer Surgery I was having erectile dysfunction problems and was not making progress via the NHS. When I contacted Lorraine we immediately had a ZOOM call where it was clear that she was absolutely expert in this field - taking me through the options patiently - and helping develop a plan. After this we kept in contact and I now have a solution where my wife and I are back in business again - which is a huge physical and mental release - and is all thanks to Lorraine. I highly recommend.
