« Sexuality is perfectly natural, but not naturally perfect » – François de Carufel, Canadian sexologist Sex therapy is designed for anyone facing challenges or seeking guidance related to their sexual health. This encompasses individuals and couples dealing with sexual dysfunctions, intimacy issues, those who wish to explore their sexual desires safely, or those aiming to enhance their sexual relationships. I work to create a safe, non-judgmental, culturally sensitive environment where people feel comfortable asking uncomfortable questions and getting answers. I address all aspects of sexuality, including sexual development and behavior, attraction dynamics, and romantic relationships. I firmly believe that everyone should live their sexuality freely. Part of my work involves aging sexuality and working with people from different cultures. I respect the diverse backgrounds and beliefs of my clients, always considering the cultural context. I accompany expatriates, couples, and single people who want to overcome sexual concerns, improve their sex life, or resolve relationship difficulties. I empower adults to understand their sexuality and challenge impractical messages about sexuality to which they are exposed. My therapeutic approach integrates techniques from sexofunctional therapy, systemic and cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and Imago therapy. Sessions are tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals or couples, respecting their personal pace. I view therapy as a collaborative process; the first step is identifying what brings you to therapy, followed by discussing the most effective therapeutic tools for your needs. To comprehensively address the medical aspects of sexual health, I often recommend consultations with general practitioners or other healthcare providers, including gynecologists, urologists, endocrinologists, and physiotherapists. Common issues I address include sex education, communication, pleasure, intimacy after birth, and desire challenges such as low or high libido, arousal difficulties, pain during or after penetration (dyspareunia), involuntary vaginal muscle spasms (vaginismus), challenges in obtaining or maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction), anorgasmia, premature ejaculation, and delayed ejaculation, addiction. I only see you by appointment in my practice in 1000 Brussels (Square Ambiorix) or in Hoeilaart (InTeam). I work in French, English and Romanian. If you can’t make it into the office, online sessions are available too.
