Sex Therapy & Intimacy Coaching FAQ | Sex Untold

Question 1

What is sex therapy, and how can it help me?

Accepted Answer

Sex therapy is a form of talk-based therapy that focuses on your sexual wellbeing, desires, challenges, and relationship with your own body. People come for all kinds of reasons: low libido, performance anxiety, shame around desire, difficulty with intimacy, pain during sex, or simply wanting to understand themselves better. Sex therapy can help you reconnect with your body, release patterns that have been holding you back, and build a sex life that actually feels like yours. Sessions are 45 to 60 minutes, held online worldwide.

Question 2

Is sex therapy only for people with sexual dysfunctions?

Accepted Answer

No. Many people come to sex therapy because they want to understand their desires more deeply, feel more confident in their body, communicate better with a partner, or shed years of shame. Sexual dysfunction — erectile difficulties, vaginismus, low libido, anorgasmia — is something we can address. But so is the quiet disconnection that doesn't have a clinical name. If something in your sex life isn't working for you, that's reason enough to explore it.

Question 3

Do I need to be in a relationship to benefit from sex therapy?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Most clients come alone. Your sexuality is not just about what happens with a partner — it's your relationship with your own body, desires, self-worth, and pleasure. Solo work is often where the most profound shifts happen. Whether you're single, dating, partnered, or somewhere in between, sex therapy is about you first.

Question 4

What happens during a sex therapy session?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are conversation-based — no physical contact, no demonstrations. It's a confidential space to talk honestly about what you're experiencing. In a typical session, we explore your history, identify patterns creating friction or disconnection, and work on practical tools for everyday life. I blend mindfulness, cognitive-behavioural approaches, and somatic awareness, tailored to you specifically. Sessions are 45 to 60 minutes, held online.

Question 5

I've lost my libido — what can I do?

Accepted Answer

This is more common than you think, and it's almost never just physical. Libido responds to stress, sleep, self-worth, relationship dynamics, hormones, and how safe you feel in your own body. In sessions, we explore what's sitting underneath the loss of desire — because there's almost always something there. The goal is to reconnect with your body on its own terms, not to manufacture something artificial.

Question 6

I experience performance anxiety — can sex therapy help?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and you're far from alone. Performance anxiety is one of the most common concerns I work with, for people of all genders. The anxiety often started long before the bedroom — in early messages about what sex is supposed to look like, in the habit of watching yourself instead of feeling yourself. We work on shifting attention from performance to presence, rebuilding trust in the body, and breaking the thought loops that take you out of the experience.

Question 7

Can you help with issues related to past sexual trauma?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sexual trauma shapes how we relate to our bodies, desire, and intimacy, often in ways we don't fully recognise. I work with trauma-informed approaches that prioritise your safety and pace — we never rush toward anything. The goal is to help you rebuild a relationship with your body and sexuality that feels like yours again. If your needs require clinical trauma therapy beyond my scope, I'll be transparent about that and support you in finding appropriate care.

Question 8

What are your rates and how do I book?

Accepted Answer

1:1 sex therapy or coaching sessions (45 to 60 minutes) start from €60. Message-based support starts from €50 per month. Specialist programmes start from €80. Book directly at calendly.com/rachaelhibbertpro/consultation, or reach out at rachaelhibbertpro@gmail.com with any questions before committing.

Question 9

Do you work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples?

Accepted Answer

Yes, fully. I work with people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. My practice is an explicitly inclusive, non-judgmental space — one where you don't have to manage my reactions or educate me on the basics before we get to the work. You're welcome here exactly as you are.

Question 10

What is the connection between mental health and sexual wellness?

Accepted Answer

They're deeply, inseparably linked. Anxiety contracts desire. Depression flattens libido. Low self-worth shapes how available you are to pleasure. Conversely, a healthy, shame-free relationship with your sexuality can genuinely support your mental health — through nervous system regulation, through the connection that comes with intimacy, through the self-knowing that comes with honest exploration. This is why I take a holistic approach: your sexuality doesn't exist apart from the rest of your life.
