WHAT IS SEX THERAPY?

What is Sex Therapy? Sex therapy or sexual therapy is a type of therapy that is designed to help people who are experiencing sexual difficulties. Sex therapists have received specialised training that includes psychotherapy and other techniques to work with physical, emotional or psychological causes of sexual concerns. Sexual difficulties can include a wide range of problems, such as low libido, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, difficulty orgasming, painful sex, and body image issues.

Sexual concerns don’t just involve sexual activity in one’s life, but also include sexual identity and expression. Illness, injury and life events also impact our sexual identities and response, and these are all common issues worked with within sex therapy.

Sex therapists work with individuals or couples to help them address these issues and improve their sexual relationship. Ultimately, the goal of sex therapy is to help people achieve a more fulfilling and satisfying sex life.

We offer a private, safe environment in which to explore any sexual concern within functioning, identity, and sexual relationships. Mindwise Counselling is LGBTQIA+ and Kink affirming.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SEX THERAPY SESSION?

Our sex therapist will conduct a thorough sexual, medical, relational, and psychological history as needed to obtain a comprehensive perspective on variables that influence or improve your sexual well-being. This is one of the most important aspects of sex therapy, and is needed to target specific root causes.

Our sex therapist will use a variety of techniques to help you address your concerns. These may include:

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
Systems training
Psychodynamic therapy
Sex education
Communication and relationship skills training

Behavioural interventions
Sensate focus exercises
Techniques to assist in various sexual difficulties
Relationship counselling for unresolved issues

Sex therapy is carried out in a similar way to counselling and psychotherapy. You will never be asked to remove your clothing, and there will never be any physical contact.

Most of the time, homework may be given as part of sexual therapy. This is an opportunity for you to practice new skills in your home environment. If you are currently in a relationship, involving your partner in the homework and counselling process will increase your likelihood of therapy success. Since sexual issues usually arise within the context of a relationship, it only makes sense that the relationship itself should be involved in the therapy process. However, some issues arise outside of a relationship, and clients are welcome to undertake sex therapy as an individual.

WHEN TO VISIT A SEX THERAPIST IN SINGAPORE AND HOW CAN THEY HELP WITH YOUR RELATIONSHIPS?

Whatever the reason, a sex therapist can help you to explore the issues that are impacting your sex life and relationship. In addition to providing support and guidance, a sex therapist can also offer practical tips and techniques that can help to improve your sexual intimacy. If you’re struggling with any aspect of your sex life, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional help.
