Andrea Haas - Psychologist, Individual & Couple Counsellor specialising in Holistic Sex Therapy - Chatswood, Sydney

I am a registered psychologist and accredited sexuality therapist. I can offer you prompt appointments and skilled help in a range of areas.

I help you understand and resolve the psychological side of your relationship problems and sexual difficulties. Often, this means going back to the original sources which have contributed to the issues, such as unresolved business in your current relationship, or, from previous relationships, traumatic events, emotions built up over time, blockages, negative thoughts & experiences about sex, physical discomforts, or, other factors such as the general stresses of life.

In my experience, it is rarely just one element that is the cause of a problem, usually, there are a number of factors which contribute to the issue. This can make it quite difficult to gain clarity and find appropriate answers, however, in most cases, the situation can be improved and resolved.

The therapy space is supportive and non-judgemental. You will feel safe and understood. Just give me a call on 0425 218 022 for more information or to make a booking.

THERAPY APPROACHES

Mindfulness
In addition to counselling and psychological interventions, I use holistic approaches which allow you to become more aware in a bodily sense. It is a form of mindful awareness through which you learn to identify and monitor emotions and sexual energies. This way of working on yourself creates bridges between the mind and the feeling sensations of the body. You learn to pay attention and 'listen' to what goes on inside your body which builds skills and confidence, the pre-requisites for solutions.

Body-Mind Connection
Mindfulness fosters the body-mind connection. With specific meditation based techniques it is possible to tap into a broad range of sensations and bodily perceptions. This allows you to develop more awareness of your body. You also enlarge your palette of physical sensations, expand the range of emotional sensitivities and forge stable bonds enhancing intimacy with your partner. I consider that establishing links to a broad range of feelings develops emotional and sexual confidence.



ISSUES THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED

I can offer you prompt appointments and help in the following areas:
  • Low libido, no sex drive, orgasm difficulties
  • Desire discrepancy (one partner consistently wants more sex, the other partner refuses sex)
  • Emotional detachment, difficulties with intimacy, relationship problems
  • Painful sex during intercourse (vaginismus)
  • Sexual difficulties related to gynaecological problems (i.e. urinary tract infections, menstruation, fertility, contraception, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause)
  • Performance anxiety, erection & ejaculation problems
  • Sexuality and the ageing body
  • Physical, emotional & sexual abuse
  • Sexual trauma (incest, rape, molestation)
  • Compulsive sexual behaviour & desires (i.e. compulsive use of erotica and/or internet for sexual purposes, compulsive cruising & multiple sexual partners)



SELF REPORT QUESTIONNAIRE

Perhaps you are thinking about therapy but you do not know where to start. I offer an obligation free service in the form of a Self Report Questionnaire on my website.

This service is available to sincere requests. Please provide accurate information and complete all questions honestly, otherwise I may not be able to get a clear picture of your present sexual problems and emotional well being.

Please indicate the best time for me to call you. I will endeavour to contact you within 24 hours. The conversation is not designed to fix your problems, but it gives you the opportunity to briefly speak to me about your issues and to ask questions. I may then be able to point out therapeutic directions helpful for your particular situation.
