The sexuality clinic offers treatment and evaluation of sexual dissatisfaction and specific sexual dysfunctions experienced by individuals and couples.

Therapeutic Approaches

The treatment programme emphasizes the enhancement of the couple relationship as well as the individual growth of each partner. As far as possible, therapy involves the couple, since when one partner experiences difficulties, the other partner may influence, and be influenced by the sexual disturbance. However, individual therapy is also possible. Therapy encompasses interpersonal, behavioural, cognitive and psychodynamic techniques integrated with drug treatments. Collaborative management with urologists, andrologists, gynaecologists and endocrinologists is available when indicated.
Sexual dysfunction that result from medical conditions or disabilities are managed in conjunction with the referring physician.
