CSB Counselling

This counselling service supports individuals who are experiencing challenges in managing sexual thoughts, urges or behaviours. An inability to control sexual behaviours is commonly referred to as "sex addiction"; however, this term is not officially recognised as a clinical diagnosis, so we use the term "compulsive sexual behaviours (CSB)” instead. These behaviours may include: 

  • Compulsive use of pornography 

  • Compulsive masturbation  

  • Intrusive sexual thoughts  

  • Difficulties setting healthy boundaries around sexual activities 

Our aim is to provide a respectful, confidential space where you can explore these concerns and change patterns of behaviour. 

Getting Started 

  • The CSB counsellor will make contact to arrange your initial assessment.   

  • If you initially contact us by phone, you won’t be asked to share any details about why you’re seeking support.  You will however have to say that you are seeking CSB counselling so that our receptionist can forward your details appropriately.

  • To get started, we’ll just need your full name, phone number and email address. Please ensure this information is accurate so that our CSB counsellor can contact you.

Fees and Sessions 

Each counselling session, including the assessment, costs €45 and lasts 50 minutes.
