My Approach

Sexual Problems Are
Rarely Just Sexual

Sexual functioning is influenced by much more than the sexual organs. It is influenced by the body, the mind, the relationship, lifestyle, stress, medications and circumstances of life.

This is why I use a biopsychosocial approach to understand sexual problems.

BIO

The Body

The physical side of sexual functioning is important. Depending on the problem, we may need to consider diabetes, hormonal factors, cardiovascular health, neurological conditions, prostate or urological problems, gynaecological conditions, medications, sleep and general health.

PSYCHO

The Mind

Sexuality is deeply connected with the mind. Anxiety, depression, stress, fear of failure, low self-esteem, body image, previous experiences and performance pressure can all influence sexual functioning.

How My Consultation Begins

A Comfortable
and Respectful Start

Talking about sexual problems with a doctor can itself be difficult. That is why I do not begin a consultation by immediately asking a series of intimate questions. My first priority is to make you comfortable, establish trust and understand what has brought you to me. Only when you feel sufficiently at ease do I gradually begin discussing the sexual concerns.

No Interrogation

You will never feel interrogated. I take a respectful and sensitive approach.

Privacy Matters

When you come with a family member or friend, I generally request them to wait outside during the private part of the consultation, unless there is a specific reason.

Confidentiality

Your information is treated with strict confidentiality. Clinical records are maintained digitally with password protection and appropriate access controls.

Looking at the Whole Person

Once I understand the concern, I look beyond the sexual symptom itself. I try to understand:

  • What is happening physically?
  • What is happening psychologically?
  • What is happening in the relationship?
  • What has changed recently?
  • What factors may be maintaining the problem?
  • What does the individual or couple actually want to achieve?
Whole person approach including physical health, mental health, relationship dynamics, and lifestyle

The answers help determine whether the most appropriate approach involves medical treatment, psychological intervention, behavioural strategies, couple-based work, lifestyle changes, specialist referral — or a combination of these.

MY PHILOSOPHY

My Objective

My objective is not merely to treat a sexual symptom. It is to help the individual or couple understand the problem, reduce unnecessary anxiety and work towards a healthier, more satisfying and comfortable intimate life.

Sexual Medicine, in my view, begins with understanding the person — not just the symptom.
