Porn Addiction

JUDGEMENT FREE PORN ADDICTION THERAPY FROM QUALIFIED, CARING PSYCHOLOGISTS

Often shrouded in shame or brushed off as ‘normal’, excessive consumption or addiction to pornographic material can have a devastating impact on an individual's life and relationships.   

In contrast to alcohol or drug addiction, porn addiction is frequently overlooked or considered less of a concern. This can see those suffering from this very real issue going without the support and guidance they need to overcome it and live a more fulfilling life.  

Often linked to a decline in overall mental health and impacting both the addict and those closest to them, seeking professional help from a counsellor experienced with porn addiction is strongly recommended. 

You may be classed as a pornography addict and benefit from help with porn addiction if your quality of life has been affected by:    

- An inability to stop porn-using behaviour despite repeated efforts to do so

- Feelings of irritability or anger when asked to stop porn use 

- An escalation in the type of pornographic material being sought (more aggressive, deviant or hard-core)  

- Consequences of the behaviour such as job loss and relationship breakdowns

- Living a double life of secrecy and dishonesty to maintain the habit

- Depression and anxiety due to feelings of guilt, self-loathing or fear of being found out

- A change in sexual expectations, desires and behaviours 

- A reduction of physical intimacy with a partner 

If you are someone who is experiencing any of the above or have concerns over your use of pornography, we encourage you to reach out. Help is available through counselling for porn addiction and recovery is possible.
