What is Sex Therapy and How It Can Help You By Dr. Biju Varghese | Consultant Psychologist | Angamaly, Kochi
Discover how sex therapy helps individuals and couples in Angamaly and Kochi overcome sexual difficulties. Confidential support from a professional psychologist and sex therapist in Kerala.
Introduction
Sexual problems are more common than most people think — but often remain unspoken due to shame, embarrassment, or cultural stigma. Whether you're facing issues in your intimate relationship or struggling silently with personal sexual concerns, sex therapy can offer a safe, confidential, and professional path to healing.
As a professional psychologist based in Angamaly, Kochi, Kerala, I offer specialized sex therapy to help individuals and couples regain confidence, rebuild intimacy, and improve sexual wellness.
What is Sex Therapy?
Sex therapy is a type of talk-based psychological treatment that focuses on resolving emotional, psychological, or interpersonal issues related to sexual health and intimacy.
It is not physical or invasive. Instead, it involves:
Open conversations in a private, non-judgmental space
Identifying causes behind sexual difficulties
Exploring thoughts, emotions, relationship dynamics, and behavior
Learning practical strategies to improve sexual function and satisfaction
Sessions are conducted in-person in Angamaly or online for those in other parts of Kerala or abroad.
Who Can Benefit from Sex Therapy?
Sex therapy can help individuals and couples dealing with:
Erectile dysfunction (ED)
Premature ejaculation
Loss of sexual desire
Painful intercourse (for women)
Performance anxiety
Masturbation or pornography addiction
Relationship or communication issues
Sexual dissatisfaction in marriage
You don’t need a "diagnosis" to seek help. If your sexual health is affecting your emotional wellbeing or relationship, therapy can help.
Common Causes of Sexual Issues
Sexual problems can have psychological, emotional, relationship-related, or cultural causes, such as:
Past trauma or negative sexual experiences
Anxiety or depression
Relationship conflicts or lack of emotional intimacy
Guilt or shame due to cultural or religious beliefs
Stress, fatigue, or poor self-esteem
Lack of proper sexual education or communication
Understanding these root causes is essential to healing — and therapy helps you do exactly that.
