Dr Ben Davis - men's health doctor and sex therapist

GP | Clinical Sexologist
Sex & Relationship Therapist

I’m a GP specialising in sexual medicine, as well as a clinical sexologist and qualified sex and relationship therapist.

With extensive training in both sexual medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, men’s health and sex and relationship therapy, I am unique in being able to support people through a wide range of challenges.

I bring together medical, psychological and relational approaches, to help you find a way forward to whatever difficulties you’ve been facing.

MY APPROACH

I understand how important it is to feel safe and comfortable with your doctor. My aim is to create a supportive environment where you feel relaxed and able to talk openly about your difficulties. For many people, a consultation with me is the first time they have ever felt free to discuss their experiences—especially regarding their sexual health.

Our work together begins with a thorough assessment. This includes exploring your current challenges, reviewing your medical and surgical history, considering your family background, and evaluating your emotional, sexual, and relationship health.

If needed, I can arrange further investigations, such as blood tests or imaging (e.g., ultrasound, CT, MRI, or echocardiogram), to gain a complete picture.

Treatment may involve addressing medical issues, engaging in psychological support, or exploring sex and relationship therapy. Often, a blended approach that integrates both medical and therapeutic interventions works best.

Following the initial assessment, I will provide you with a clear, personalized plan to improve your overall health and address the specific challenges you’re facing.

TRAINING & EXPERIENCE

I studied medicine at the University of Cambridge and UCL, graduating with distinction and a PhD focused on men’s emotional and sexual wellbeing.

I completed further exams in internal medicine, gaining Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP) in 2016. I trained in obstetrics and gynaecology for several years before moving into general practice and sexual health. I’ve worked as an NHS GP in east London as well as working in an NHS psychosexual service.

I have undertaken further training in sexual medicine, becoming a Fellow of the European Committee of Sexual Medicine (FECSM) in 2022.

I also have a diploma in clinical sexology, psychosexual therapy and relationship therapy from the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology. I am a COSRT registered sex and relationship therapist.

WHO DO I SEE?

I have experience in both men and women’s health.

Whether you’re single, dating, married or in a polyamorous relationship; whether gay or straight, you can be reassured that whatever your sex life involves, I’ve likely come across it or heard it before.

Unfortunately I’m not a gender specialist and therefore I’m not qualified to assess for gender incongruence, gender dysphoria or initiate or change medical gender affirming care.
