Sex Therapy & Intimacy Support in Melbourne

Sex and intimacy are deeply personal parts of life. When difficulties arise, they can affect confidence, connection, and emotional wellbeing, often in ways that feel hard to talk about.

At The Three Seas Psychology, our experienced sex therapists provide a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space to explore concerns around sexuality, intimacy, and relationships. You may attend on your own or with a partner.

What is sex therapy?

Sex therapy is a specialised form of psychotherapy that focuses on the emotional, psychological, and relational aspects of sexual wellbeing.

It is not about physical treatment or performance. Instead, therapy explores the thoughts, feelings, experiences, and relationship dynamics that may be influencing your sexual life.

Our approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities, including:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

• Schema Therapy

We work with individuals and couples across all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures.

Common issues sex therapy can help with

Our qualified sex therapists support people experiencing a wide range of concerns, including:

• Low or mismatched libido

• Erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation

• Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)

• Difficulties with arousal or orgasm

• Sexual trauma and recovery

• Intimacy and communication challenges in relationships

• Gender identity or sexual orientation exploration

Compulsive sexual behaviour or pornography use
Some people prefer to explore this through a dedicated and highly private support pathway. You can learn more about our specialised approach on our Porn Addiction Therapy in Melbourne page.

If you’re unsure whether your concern is “appropriate” for therapy, it is. Nothing is too small, too complex, or too uncomfortable to talk about here.

What to expect in a session

Sex therapy sessions are tailored to your needs and move at your pace.

Your therapist may:

• Help identify underlying beliefs or past experiences affecting sexual confidence

• Explore attachment patterns and relationship dynamics

• Support communication around needs, boundaries, and desire

• Provide education around sexual wellbeing and intimacy

• Work collaboratively on strategies to rebuild trust and connection

All discussions take place in a professional, confidential therapeutic setting.
