What is Sex Therapy?
Sex therapy is a specialist therapy that resolves sexual problems and issues by specifically addressing them. It’s a great way to understand your sexuality and express your sexual self in a healthy, empowered way. A healthy life includes a healthy sex life.
Sex therapy helps you discover the root of sexual difficulties and find ways to increase satisfaction. It’s suitable for both singles and couples, as sex isn’t something we do automatically—it requires awareness, knowledge, and often, expert support.

Why Sexual Health Matters
Sexuality is a central part of life. When your sex life is fulfilling, other areas often thrive too. Everyone has a right to a satisfying, healthy sex life.
However, sexual difficulties are common. These can include:
- Erection problems
- Loss of desire
- Orgasmic difficulties
- Sexual pain
- General dissatisfaction
While sometimes caused by physiological conditions, many sexual issues stem from anxiety, stress, relationship dynamics, or lack of information.

The Role of Sex Therapy in a Healthy Life
We often think of health in terms of diet, exercise, and general well-being—but rarely include sexual wellness. Yet sexual problems can lead to other relationship issues. Improving your sex life can significantly enhance your overall quality of life.
Sex therapy supports this by:
- Reducing anxiety and emotional stress
- Improving communication and connection
- Enhancing sexual satisfaction and confidence
What Do Sex Therapists Do?

- Help you understand your issue
- Develop practical tools to manage it
- Create a tailored treatment plan to fit your needs
- Use best practices in therapy, informed by human sexuality, psychology, and medical research
Their aim is to help you maintain a healthy, fulfilling sexual life over the long term.
What is a Sex Therapist?
A sex therapist is a specialist in human sexuality. They understand sexual anatomy, response, and practices at a deeper level than general practitioners.
Sex therapists may come from various professional backgrounds:
- Counsellors or psychotherapists
- Nurses or medical practitioners
- Social workers or psychologists
They often collaborate with other specialists (e.g. urologists, physiotherapists, gynaecologists) to provide holistic care.
