A shy expert in a state gets counselling for it (3,7)
I believe the answer is:
sex therapy
'counselling for it' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'a shy expert in a state' is the wordplay.
'in a state' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters in confusion or chaos).
'a'+'shy'+'expert'='ashyexpert'
'ashyexpert' anagrammed gives 'SEX THERAPY'.
'gets' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
