Sexuality

Sexual counseling & sex therapy: Rear view of a woman in lingerie

We are sexual beings throughout our entire lives — from infancy to old age. The two fundamental human drives are self-preservation (eating, drinking, sleeping) and reproduction (sexuality).

And yet, sexuality is treated very differently by society. Many people haven’t learned how to talk about it, which makes it hard to find the right words. On top of that, shame often plays a role, making it even more difficult — sometimes impossible — to communicate.

This can easily lead to tense sexual experiences, which may even be traumatic. And all because you never learned how to speak about your needs and desires — because you're embarrassed to say certain words, afraid to say “stop” when a boundary is crossed, or because you don’t feel “normal” — maybe due to so-called “perverse” fantasies or issues with orgasm.

Something wonderful turns into a source of stress. But sexuality is actually a powerful source of energy — it can give you great strength and vitality!

With my expertise, I can support you competently, respectfully, and with empathy — regardless of your gender, age, concerns, or preferences. Through many years of experience, I’ve encountered such a wide range of expressions of sexuality that I’m rarely surprised anymore.

When can sex therapy help?

  • You can’t find words for your needs — you don’t know how to express what fulfills you.
  • You don’t even fully know your needs — maybe you’re afraid to allow certain thoughts or desires, or haven’t yet discovered your orientation.
  • You feel insecure about your own genitals or your partner’s — you may lack anatomical knowledge or experience.
  • The first first time — you want to prepare, perhaps you’re older than average for a first sexual encounter and feel ashamed. Or you're a parent and don't feel capable of educating your child — sometimes someone outside the family is better suited.
  • The second first time — as a biological woman, after childbirth or illness affecting your genitals, you want to re-engage with sexuality but feel uncertain or afraid. Or your partner has those fears.
  • You feel insecure about sex in general — because you compare yourself to supposed norms from media or porn. You fear being "imperfect": your breasts sag, your penis seems too small... and much more.
  • Your sex life no longer satisfies you — maybe your needs have changed as you mature, or the spark is missing in your relationship.
  • You have no one to talk to about your desires or fantasies — you feel “abnormal” or even “perverse”. But sexuality is as diverse as humanity itself. What’s seen as “abnormal” often simply deviates from mainstream norms — many people’s sexual needs and practices do.
  • You and your partner have different sexual preferences — you love each other and want to share intimacy, but your needs diverge. Whether within “mainstream” practices or in the realm of kink — you struggle to find mutual satisfaction.
  • You have a sexual issue — maybe you can’t orgasm or ejaculate too quickly. Maybe a condition like vaginismus or erectile dysfunction makes “classic” sexuality difficult or impossible.

Together we’ll explore your (or your shared) current situation and your goal. Using various therapeutic tools, we’ll bring movement into the topic. Name it, understand it, resolve it — no matter how tangled things seem. With the willingness to face the issue and engage in the process, real change is possible.

I’ll support you in finding solutions you haven’t yet seen. Rediscover yourself — believe me, it’s easier than you think!
