Erectile Dysfunction Therapy
Erectile dysfunction therapy at Love Therapy Australia is online sex therapy for people who find it hard to get or keep an erection, whether alone or with a partner.
Erectile dysfunction therapy is talk-based sex therapy for difficulty getting or keeping an erection firm enough for sex. Sessions look at what is happening in the body, the mind and the relationship, and how each one affects the others.
A sex therapist does not examine the body. Sessions take place confidentially by video or telephone.
How therapy may help
Therapy may help with the worry and pressure that can make sex harder over time. Sessions may cover:
-
Performance anxiety, and the cycle of worry that can follow a difficult experience
-
Communication with a partner about desire, pressure and expectations
-
Understanding lifestyle challenges that impact your sexual virility
-
Exploring your needs for pleasure and arousal
-
Changes in desire or confidence after a change in health, medicine or routine
-
Talk-based approaches that take the focus off performance and rebuild comfort with touch
-
Patterns such as avoidance or conflict that build up around sex
Our Sex Therapists Lauren, Emily, Anna and Tash all support clients and couples experiencing erectile dysfunction.
Common questions about erectile dysfunction therapy
Can therapy help with erectile dysfunction?
Many cases of erectile dysfunction are psychosomatic - meaning they are psychological in origin. Our Sex Therapists can support you to overcome the psychological barriers to sexual arousal.
Do I need to see a GP before erectile dysfunction therapy?
You do not have to see a GP before you attend erectile dysfunction therapy, but your therapist will often recommend you see a GP to rule out any medical origins for your challenges. No GP referral is needed for sex therapy for erectile dysfunction.
How long does erectile dysfunction therapy take to work?
Each person is unique in how they experience a return to full sexual function. Some clients can experience quick results in a few sessions, some clients require ongoing support. The sooner you seek support often the better the results.
How much do sessions cost, and are there rebates?
Individual sessions are $190 and couples sessions are $230, each for 50 minutes. Medicare, private health insurance and WorkCover rebates do not apply.
Can my partner join the sessions?
Yes you are able to do erectile dysfunction therapy individually or with a partner. Our couples sex therapy sessions are perfect for clients in relationships experiencing erectile dysfunction.
