Firstly, in my view, EVERYBODY needs to talk about sex more. You may not need the help of a professional, but talking to a professional can help you start having conversations with the people in your life who influence your sexual health and wellbeing. The link between sex and psychological health is well established, because sex is about relating to others and requires a level of vulnerability that other social interactions do not. Many of my clients have told me that just having a space to talk about sex freely, with confidentiality assured, and without judgement, has afforded them freedom and insights that have helped them experience sex far more positively than they had previously.
We can help with anything that relates to your sexual health and wellbeing, and while this is by no means an exhaustive list, these are a few things that we can assist with:
- Desire / libido. Low or excessive levels and also partners who have different levels of desire
- Arousal difficulties. This may manifest as erectile dysfunction or problems becoming lubricated
- Orgasmic difficulties. Either struggling to achieve orgasm, achieving orgasm too quickly, or painful orgasm
- Pain during sex
- Low self-confidence with sex
- Healing from sexual trauma
- Enhancing sexual pleasure
- Gender identity and gender expression
- Exploring what is called alternative sexuality such as kink and BDSM
- Exploring alternative relationship models such as polyamory
Sex therapy with a psychologist does not involve any form of touching or bodily interactions. or exposure of any kind. The therapy with me will be typical talk therapy only, based on general counselling techniques where we explore topics that relate to your sexual health. I may give you physical techniques and exercises for you and/or your partner/s to try at home, which we then talk about in follow up sessions.
Besides all the social and psychological factors that influence your sexual health, there may also be physiological influences as well. I am trained to assess whether you need medical intervention from a medical professional such as a physio or medical doctor. I will make these referrals for you, but we typically work hand in hand to give you the most holistic outcome.
I only work with children and adolescents in the case of gender dysphoria.
I am happy to answer any other questions that you may have for me through my contact below.
