Counselling for Sex Problems & Issues
A problem that stops us from leading a sexually fulfilling life can be classified as a sex problem. This can range from lack of desire to inability to have sex. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental space to talk about sexual difficulties — individually or as a couple.
What Are Sex Problems
A wide range of issues
Sex is an important part of an intimate relationship and when this does not work between a couple, it can leave you feeling frustrated. Having a different sex drive to your partner does not automatically mean either of you has a sex problem. However, if the gap feels too large, that might be indicative of a relationship issue or other problem.
Issues that might be indicative of a problem include:
- Absence of sex or fear of sex
- Too much or too little sex
- Fear of intimacy
- Unexplored sexuality
- Sexual inhibitions and reservations
What Causes Sex Problems
Some of the causes
1. Health Related
Illnesses or conditions like diabetes, disability, heart disease, menopause.
2. Emotional or Psychological
Stress, anxiety, unresolved grief, depression, unhappy relationships, sex addiction. Stress is one of the highest contributors to sexual problems.
3. Circumstantial
Having a baby, getting a divorce, living in conflict, financial problems.
4. Beliefs
How you think of sex and sexuality — through personal, family or cultural values — can create an unhealthy relationship with sex.
5. Sexual Abuse
A history of abuse can have an effect on the sexual life — reducing or increasing sexual appetite.
Sex vs Sexuality
Understanding the difference
Sex often refers to the sexual act. Sexuality is more difficult to define — it can loosely be interpreted as attitude towards sex and the expression of it. This can be through the way we dress, who we are attracted to, whether we have creative or risky sex, or if we believe sex to be immoral.
How I Can Help
Working through sex problems
I can help you talk through your sexual problems and understand some of the reasons why you might be experiencing them. We can work through most of the emotional, psychological or circumstantial factors that may be contributing.
A number of sexual problems are caused through stress, anxiety, and unprocessed emotions relating to other areas of life. As your coping strategies improve and feelings are processed, your sex life may improve naturally.
I can also work with a sexual focus to help you understand your sexuality, sexual desires, sexual inhibitions or any other phobias around your sexual life. Many sexual problems create a cycle of withdrawal and isolation — from intimacy, from partners, and sometimes from social life itself. You may want to address these individually or as a couple.
I offer counselling with a sexual focus online via Zoom and in my offices in Waterloo and Hampton.
