What is Sexual Counseling?

Sexual counselling is a professional counselling process that helps individuals or couples understand and resolve the issues, anxieties and functional difficulties they experience in relation to sexuality, and to build a healthier sex life. This process encompasses not only physical function but also emotional, cognitive and relational dimensions.

The aim is to help the individual or couple re-establish harmony with their own body, their desires and their partner.

The topics addressed in sexual counselling are not limited to ‘disorders’ but also include communication, intimacy, emotional connection, self-confidence and satisfaction. Consequently, anyone experiencing a disconnection from their sexuality or a lack of fulfilment can seek counselling.

In What Situations

Should One Seek Adult Counseling?

Sexual counselling is not limited to physical symptoms alone; it also addresses the emotional, psychological and relationship-based issues experienced by individuals or couples. In all cases, the primary aim of seeking sexual counselling is to understand the root causes of the issues and to help the client develop a healthy balance at both a physical and emotional level. Counsellors establish a relationship of trust with clients, helping them to express their problems without feeling shame or guilt and to develop solutions.
