Women’s Sexual Problems

Female sexual issues are quite common, affecting around 43% of women at any one time. For some women, it can be difficult or embarrassing to discuss these issues and often feel quite isolated.

Common Problems

• Loss of libido (lack of desire for sex)
• Inability to achieve orgasm
• Vaginismus (the inability to engage in intercourse)
• Lack of sexual enjoyment
• Painful sex

These sexual issues can often result in conflict and distress in relationships. Issues may begin in younger years and, if it goes without treatment, may result in frustration, anxiety, and fear surrounding sexual encounters.

Men’s Sexual Problems

The source of men’s sexual problems largely stems from challenges in relation to sexual performance. Several responses can adversely affect a man’s response throughout sexual activity including:

• Depression
• General anxiety & stress
• General health concerns
• Impact of sexually transmitted diseases
• Performance anxiety
• Drugs & alcohol
• Relationship problems

Some common concerns for men include:

• Erectile dysfunction
• Premature /rapid ejaculation
• Delayed ejaculation
• Loss of libido

Men often struggle to communicate these issues and often do not seek help. ​Counselling can be highly beneficial in helping men to better understand how their bodies work and how they can enhance their sexual performance and reduce their own anxiety. Counselling can help to improve communication between couples and create more functional relationships.

Are some of the issues that counselling can effectively deal with.

Gay & Lesbian Issues

Counselling can help you to come to terms with your sexuality and related issues (work, family, and social). Additionally, counselling can help with dealing with homophobia, discrimination, and related anxiety and stress.

Depression & Anxiety

​Depression is one of the most common psychological conditions affecting the general population. Many people experience significant depression at some point in their lives and even more, people experience milder forms of depression. Anxiety is a normal human experience. Some anxiety can be beneficial by way of providing energy and focus. However, when anxiety becomes extreme and out of proportion to the situation, it can interfere with a person’s ability to enjoy life and reach their full potential.
