How I can support you

Paartherapie und Sexualtherapie

Orgasm difficulties

Orgasm difficulties are a sensitive issue that affects many people – regardless of gender or age. There can be many reasons for this:
physical factors, internal blockages, stress or negative experiences. In sex therapy, we create a safe environment in which you can come to terms with your feelings and needs. With a great deal of empathy and targeted methods, I support you in getting to know your body better, breaking down inhibitions and discovering new ways to have pleasurable experiences. The aim is to experience your sexuality as a source of pleasure, closeness and self-confidence.

Erectile dysfunctions

Erectile dysfunction is widespread and can be very stressful – for your own self-esteem and your relationship. The causes are varied. They range from physical factors such as circulatory disorders or hormonal changes to psychological stress such as pressure to perform, anxiety or relationship conflicts. In sex therapy, I support you in talking openly and respectfully about your experiences. Together we will look for individual solutions that suit you and strengthen your confidence in your own sexuality. The aim is to find new ways to achieve more intimacy, pleasure and joie de vivre.

For the counseling process to be effective, it is crucial that all parties involved come with a willingness to work on themselves and the relationship.

Displeasure

Sexual reluctance affects many people and can occur at different stages of life. Stress, exhaustion, relationship problems or hormonal changes often play a role. Social expectations and personal beliefs can also influence desire. In sex therapy, I offer you a safe space to talk openly about your desires, fears and needs. Together we will get to the bottom of the causes and develop ways in which you can experience your sexuality as enriching and pleasurable again. Your pace and your individual needs always take centre stage.

F.A.Q

The length of counseling depends on your individual needs. Typically, a session lasts about 90 to 120 minutes. How long the overall process takes depends on your topics and goals. Some couples come for just a few sessions, while others need longer-term support. Together, we decide what works best for you.

Change takes time and effort. Counseling can help you gain new perspectives, improve communication, and resolve conflicts more constructively. But real change comes through ongoing commitment and by integrating what you’ve learned into your everyday life.

 

You shouldn’t have to do anything you don’t feel comfortable with. Counseling is about exploring your topics in a safe space. You decide what you share. I’ll support you in opening up step by step—but only as much as you feel ready to discuss.

 

Ideally, all people involved are willing to participate. But even if only one person comes to counseling, it can still have positive effects on the relationship(s). In many cases, individual work on personal themes leads to better communication and greater understanding within the relationship.

Many people find it difficult to talk about sexual topics, especially when the issues relate to themselves.
Often, a role switch can help: instead of speaking about yourself, you talk about another person who has sexual questions or concerns. By briefly dissociating from your own experience, it can become easier to let go of shame and to deal with and/or talk about uncomfortable topics.
Another option is to first explore the uncomfortable feeling itself: Why do sexual topics trigger discomfort in me? Where does my shame come from? Then, at a later point—when it feels right—you can transition into the sexual topics more directly.

 

You’re also very welcome to arrange a phone call with me first, or an online session where you can keep your camera off, and simply see how that feels for you.

It’s completely normal to go through phases of insecurity or to have questions about your sexuality. In sex counseling, the goal is to clarify these topics in a safe, respectful setting. We work together to develop a better understanding of your needs and to overcome blockages, so that you can experience your sexuality more positively.
