Episode Details

In this episode I speak with Candice and Arlyn, who run the Sexuality Service at Royal Rehab, providing personalised support including one-on-one and couples counselling, and educational courses to empower people with illness, injury or disability, their family and carers as well as professionals assisting them to create a meaningful, pleasurable, and rewarding sex life. This is episode one in a two-part series. The first episode will focus on Candice and Arlyn’s professional backgrounds in social work and nursing and their further training to become psychosexual therapists, with the second episode going more into the practicalities of running such a service.
