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

Men’s Health
Sexual Medicine
Sex & Relationship Therapist

I’m a GP specialising in men’s health and sexual medicine, as well as a qualified sex and relationship therapist.

With extensive training in both medicine and sex and relationship therapy, I am unique in being able to support men through a wide range of challenges.

I developed my passion for men’s health during my PhD, where I focused on men’s emotional and sexual wellbeing in Mumbai, India. This deep exploration into the pressures men face and how this impact their health profoundly shaped my holistic, “whole man” approach to care.

I believe in understanding the bigger picture as well as the finer medical details. By working with men to address their physical, emotional, sexual and relationship health, I help men achieve their full potential for health and wellbeing.

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.

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.

WHO DO I SEE?

I particularly specialise in healthcare for men and those with male bodies, of all sexual orientations.

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.
