What’s a sexologist, anyway?

And why is it important to see one?


A sexologist is a professional who specializes in the study of human sexuality. They are trained to provide expertise and guidance on various aspects of sexual health, behaviour, and relationships. Sexologists provide education and support for people experiencing sexual issues or difficulties, such as erectile dysfunction, low libido, orgasmic disorders, sexual pain, relationship problems related to sex, and issues related to gender or sexual orientation.

If you are dealing with any sex, sexuality or gender-related concern it is preferable to see someone with comfort and expertise in those matters. Sex-related issues are often considered private and can be difficult to discuss. However, seeing a specialist who can tailor counselling to your specific needs, and base their approach on research and best-practice will provide you with confidence that you are getting the optimal service for your issue.

Importantly, the counselling provided will be sensitive, supportive and non-judgemental, to enable you to speak freely and openly, which ensures the best possible therapeutic outcomes.
