How Pivotal Recovery Works
Pivotal Recovery offers a range of courses to help people overcome porn addiction and compulsive sexual behaviours. We also have support programmes for partners affected by their loved one’s behaviours.
Each course is research-based, academically robust and tested. You can read the results of the peer reviewed pilot study of our flagship course, Pivotal Recovery, here.
Based on over a decade’s research and therapeutic experience with thousands of men and women, the Pivotal Recovery courses provide professional, accessible and affordable help at your time of need.
Each course contains a series of podcasts lasting 10-20 minutes and tailored exercises to personalise the content. All materials are instantly accessible for as long as you need them so you can choose the pace that’s best for you.

About us
Not everyone is able to access the specialist expertise they need to beat sex and porn addiction. Location, cost and time commitments mean many aren’t able to benefit from vital psycho-educational interventions.
Renowned sex and relationship psychotherapist and author, Dr Paula Hall, had a vision of making her core recovery treatments available to a wider audience for years.
As a result, Pivotal Recovery CIC was founded as a not-for-profit community interest company dedicated to providing research-based, academically robust and tested recovery services for people struggling with pornography addiction, sex addiction and compulsive sexual behaviours.
Frequently asked
The Pivotal Recovery Programme has been developed, written and recorded by Dr Paula Hall and is based on the latest addiction research and her extensive experience working with clients both one-to-one and in group settings.
Here’s just some of the feedback we’ve had from users
“This course will help you and give you hope. It has saved me.”
“Pivotal has changed my life and my way of thinking.”
“Best decision of my life”
“If you put in the time and work it could literally change your life for the better, it’s your choice.”
“For me signing up for Pivotal Recovery was one of the best choices I’ve ever made.”
No, consecutive days don’t work for everyone and feeling rushed won’t help you get the most out of the course. It’s best to commit to a regular routine that works for you. You need time to listen, digest, process and then move on – that could be 3 or 4 times a week, or maybe it will just be week days or weekends. The important thing is ensuring you finish it. Of course, the less frequently you log in, the longer it will take to complete, but going at your own pace is key.
If your sexual behaviours are having a negative impact on your life, for example on your relationships, your work life, your finances, or other important commitments, then it could have developed into an addiction. Especially if you’ve tried to stop and failed. Our anonymous assessment can help you decide if you have a problem, and what action to take.
