Sex therapy can help a client resolve sexual issues by discussing strategies related to the concerns presented in therapy. Having a professional listen to your sex-related concerns can be a healing process, assuring you that you are not judged and that your sexual concerns are nothing to feel embarrassed about.

Sex Therapy at the Melbourne Counselling Clinic
Sexual problems are a topic of conversation that we often shy away from; it can be uncomfortable, and a very private matter, or maybe we feel unsure about discussing sexual concerns because we do not want other people to think there is something odd or wrong with us if we admit we are having such problems.

Sex therapy myths and misconceptions:
Sex therapy does not involve taking off clothing or physical touch by the therapist. Its mechanism is talk therapy. Another misconception about sex therapy is that you must bring your partner with to therapy. Actually, sex therapy is often individual therapy, which is the case for Ronnie’s practice.
Important to remember: Talk therapy is a collaborative process between you and therapist, and will be targeted to your individual needs. Sex therapy can be combined with other types of therapy, such as relationship counselling.
What does a sex therapy session usually involve?
The first session of sex therapy often looks similar to the first session of other types of counselling. During the first session of sex therapy, the sex therapist will ask you about your relationships, beliefs, and past history of sexual trauma, and the reason you are seeking out counselling with a sex therapist.
Sex therapy sessions are targeted towards each individual’s concerns, which is why they can differ from person to person. However, most sessions involve a discussion of concerns, and education about the specific sexual concerns. A sex therapist will often assign homework to the client, for the client to report back on during the next session. The homework can involve experimentation and communication with your partner. One example of homework would be journaling about sexual experiences and problems that are occurring with them.
