This is a talk-based therapy that helps individuals and couples explore emotional, psychological, or relational blocks affecting their sex lives. It's often the first step in treating issues like performance anxiety, low libido, or intimacy problems.

CBT is commonly used to manage sexual performance anxiety, porn addiction, or negative thought patterns around sex.It helps restructure unhelpful beliefs and build healthier sexual behaviours.

Some sexologists—especially those with medical backgrounds—may conduct physical exams, hormone tests, or refer for imaging or lab tests to diagnose conditions like erectile dysfunction or hormonal imbalances.

To diagnose conditions like vaginismus or dyspareunia, a pelvic floor evaluation may be performed to assess muscle tone, pain triggers, or structural issues that could be contributing to discomfort.

Used for conditions like vaginismus or premature ejaculation, this involves gradual exposure exercises, guided self - training, and behavioural modifications to help retrain the body's sexual response.

If needed, sexologists may prescribe or recommend medications such as PDE5 inhibitors(for ED), SSRIs(for PE), or hormonal therapy(for low libido or menopause - related issues), based on your medical history and test results.

Many sessions include structured education on anatomy, arousal, consent, and communication—especially helpful for patients with sexual misinformation or anxiety about sex.
