Sex therapy offers help for people who are experiencing sexual problems, whether they are personal or whether they occur within a relationship. 

Sexual problems may arise from something a person has experienced over a period of time, or may be a result of something that has developed subsequently after having had a previously satisfying sex life. The root of the problem may be already known, or, as many people experience, the cause and solution may be a complete mystery.

Sexual problems may be a result of: 

• physical causes; illness, disability or a side effect of medication
• psychological causes that may have originated from childhood or a sexual trauma
• relationship difficulties

With the help of the therapist, solutions can be found for: 

• erection problems
• ejaculating too quickly
• difficulty reaching orgasm
• painful intercourse
• problems with penetration
• difficulty with getting sexually excited
• sexual addiction
• difficulty accepting one’s own sexual preferences i.e. sexual identity, same sex attraction/relationship, fetishes etcetera                                    
• difficulty communicating between partners about what sexually excites/arouses them
