How we help with mismatched desire, online
No villain, no victim
We treat the difference as something you face together, not a fault in one of you.

Why people in the UK choose online care
Short waits, convenient times
India is 4½ to 5½ hours ahead of the UK, so our afternoon and evening slots fall in the UK morning and afternoon, which suits lunch breaks and days working from home.
Understanding British South Asian families
Family expectations around marriage, privacy in multigenerational homes and faith can make intimacy hard to talk about. We understand this and work at your pace.
Alongside, not instead of, your GP
Better Intimate provides online psychosexual counselling from India. It does not replace your GP or NHS services, and we will recommend a GP check where a physical cause needs ruling out.
