Dr Karl Hollows is both a medical sexual health specialist and senior accredited COSRT psychosexual therapist.
He qualified from Birmingham medical school in 1998 and took an atypical approach to further sexual health training in both Genitourinary Medicine and Contraceptive care. During that time, he recognised a passion for supporting those with sexual problems, sought out further training and qualified as a psychosexual therapist in 2008 when he established a local NHS service.
He subsequently passed the FECSM (Fellow of the European Committee of Sexual Medicine) examination in 2016 and became an EFS & ESSM Certified Psycho-Sexologist (ECPS) in 2020, becoming the first person in the UK to achieve both qualifications.
He now works across two NHS Trusts leading their Psychosexual Medicine and Therapy Services. He has no private practice.
Karl has woven education throughout his career with regard sexual and psychosexual health and speaks both locally and nationally. He holds honorary contracts with two UK universities and has taught on psychosexual therapy postgraduate courses for several years.
