Sex Therapy

What is Sex therapy?

Psychosexual therapy, also known as sex therapy, is a couple and individual therapy treatment that addresses sexual difficulties, some are unique to males, some to females, and one or two that appear to have no bias whatsoever.

Commonly treatable sexual dysfunctions in men are erectile reliability, premature ejaculation, sex compulsion, delayed ejaculation, low desire, anorgasmia, and painful sex.

Sexual issues most commonly experienced by women include vaginismus, chronic painful penetrative sex, anorgasmia, low desire, and sex compulsion.

These issues can have a significant impact on both the individual and couple because talking about sex does not always come naturally.

What does Sex therapy involve?

Using a combination of cognitive behavioural therapy and relationship counselling, psychosexual therapy can be very effective in resolving sexual problems.

Clients are encouraged to set their own goals, based on what they wish to achieve. When the problem involves a current relationship, it can often be helpful if both of you participate in the therapy.

It may be necessary to work with you and your GP or another specialist for medical advice. Psychosexual therapists do not perform any physical examination on their clients.
