Julie Marshall

Psychotherapist, Psychosexual Therapist and Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Specialist in  Doncaster and Online Across the UK

About Julie.

I provide a safe, respectful and non-judgemental therapeutic space where clients can explore difficulties relating to intimacy, sexuality, compulsive sexual behaviour, pornography addiction, sex addiction, sexual dysfunction, body image, neurodivergence and relationships. Whether you are experiencing low desire, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, vaginismus, vulvodynia or the impact of trauma on intimacy, my aim is to help you feel understood, supported and empowered to create meaningful change.

  • Sexual shame and sexual anxiety

  • Sexual Trauma

Psychosexual Therapy and Sexual Dysfunction Treatment

As a Psychosexual Therapist, I support individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of sexual difficulties that can affect confidence, relationships, intimacy and overall wellbeing.

This includes support with:

  • Vaginismus

  • Vulvodynia

  • Dyspareunia (pain during sex)

  • Sexual pain disorders

  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Premature ejaculation

  • Delayed ejaculation

  • Low libido and desire discrepancies within relationships

  • Loss of sexual desire and intimacy concerns

  • Difficulties with arousal and orgasm

  • Sexual confidence and self-esteem concerns

  • Sexual anxiety and performance anxiety

  • Intimacy difficulties within relationships

  • The impact of trauma on sexuality and sexual functioning

Sexual difficulties are often influenced by a combination of emotional, relational, psychological and physical factors. Many people experience feelings of shame, frustration, anxiety or isolation when sexual concerns arise, particularly when they begin to affect relationships and intimacy.

Therapy provides a confidential and supportive space to explore these concerns without judgement. Together, we can work towards understanding the factors contributing to the difficulty, improving communication and intimacy, reducing anxiety and building a more positive and fulfilling sexual relationship with yourself and, where relevant, your partner.

Compulsive Sexual Behaviour, Sex Addiction and Pornography Addiction Support.

I hold specialist training in Compulsive Sexual Behaviour and have completed a COSRT-accredited Diploma in Compulsive Sexual Behaviour.

Many people experiencing compulsive sexual behaviours describe feeling trapped in cycles of shame, secrecy and distress. These behaviours can affect relationships, self-esteem, emotional wellbeing and everyday functioning.

My approach focuses on understanding the underlying emotional, relational and psychological factors contributing to these patterns, rather than viewing them solely as behaviours that need to be controlled. Together, we explore healthier ways of managing emotions, developing self-awareness and creating lasting change.

I support individuals experiencing:

  • Compulsive sexual behaviours

  • Pornography addiction and problematic pornography use

  • Sex addiction concerns

  • Online sexual behaviours that feel out of control

  • Relationship difficulties linked to compulsive sexual behaviour

  • Shame and self-criticism related to sexual behaviour

Neurodivergence, Identity and Relationships

〰️

Neurodivergence, Identity and Relationships 〰️

Alongside my psychosexual work, I have a particular interest in neurodivergence, sexual intimacy and relationships.

I recognise that neurodivergent individuals may experience relationships, communication, sensory processing, intimacy and sexuality differently. Therapy can provide a supportive space to explore these experiences, understand individual needs and develop strategies that promote wellbeing and authentic connection.

My academic and clinical interests also include epistemic justice and improving accessibility within therapy, including the intersection between psychosexual therapy and Sign Language.
