Sex therapy
Online Sex Therapy in the Philippines
Sex therapy is talking therapy about sex: what you want, what isn't working, and why. You meet a psychologist for 50 minutes on Google Meet, on your own or with a partner, and you talk about sex plainly.
Nothing physical happens; it is a conversation. You book and pay online.
What people bring to sex therapy
- Low desire, or desire that doesn't match your partner's.
- Trouble getting aroused, or trouble reaching orgasm.
- Pain or discomfort during sex.
- Erection or ejaculation worries, and the anxiety that comes with them.
- A marriage that has become sexless.
- Porn use, or sexual behaviour that feels out of your control.
- Guilt or shame about sex, often learned early and hard to shake.
- Questions about your sexuality or identity.
You don't need a diagnosis to book. "Sex isn't working for me" is enough.

What a session is like
The first session is mostly questions. When did this start? What happens when you try to have sex? What have you already tried? You will be asked about your body, your relationship and your history, in plain words. You can say you're not ready to answer something.
From there, the psychologist explains what might be going on and what you can work on. That can include exercises to try alone or with a partner between sessions.
Some concerns have a physical side, like new pain during sex or changes to erections. If yours might, a physician can check that; see Sexual & Reproductive Health Consultation.
Booking. Pick a professional above, choose a time on their page, and pay online. The price is on the card and on their page, in your currency, before you pay.
Before the session. Your booking confirmation tells you how to join. Depending on the service, you may be asked to fill in a short intake form so your professional knows what you want to talk about.
The session. 50 minutes on Google Meet, from wherever you have privacy. Sessions are strictly confidential.
Changing the time. Ask at least 48 hours before your session. Later changes may fall under the professional's own policy.
Questions people ask
What is the difference between sex therapy and a sexual health consult?
Sex therapy is with a psychologist and works on thoughts, feelings, relationships and habits around sex. A sexual and reproductive health consult is with a physician and looks at the body: infections, hormones, erections. Plenty of concerns involve both. If you want education and a frank conversation rather than therapy, a psychosexual consult is with a counselor.
Can my partner join?
Yes. Every professional here offers a couples session. If the problem is mainly between the two of you, see Couples Therapy too.
Will I have to undress or show anything?
No. It is a conversation over video. Nothing physical happens in a sex therapy session.
How many sessions does it take?
It depends on the concern. Your psychologist will tell you what they suggest after the first session, and you book one session at a time.
Is this an emergency service?
No. If you or someone else is in danger, or you are in a medical or mental health crisis, contact emergency services where you are.
Not sure who to book?
Answer three quick questions on the consult page and it will suggest who fits, or compare every professional side by side.
