Books...

Some of these books may seem quite old - I’ve been using them for years. There may be newer editions.

The books I regularly recommend to clients have an asterisk* The World of Books has good quality second hand copies and packaging and postage is free. Nowadays, there are many podcasts and YouTube videos about improving your relationship and sex life. I am cautious about recommending these unless I know the client or couple.
