Psychosexual Problems

Sexual health is part of overall wellbeing — and concerns here are common, valid, and very treatable in a private, respectful setting.

Understanding the Condition

What Are Psychosexual Problems?

Psychosexual problems cover a wide range of concerns — from low desire and performance anxiety to difficulties that affect intimacy, confidence and relationships. They can affect anyone, at any stage of life, and they are often carried silently for years because they touch something deeply personal.

One area Dr. Krithishree has written about is internalised homophobia — when a non-heterosexual person develops negative social attitudes about themselves upon learning about their sexual orientation. She describes its root as the intrapsychic conflict between desire and affection towards the same sex and the obligatory heterosexual role — a conflict that arises in environments which treat heterosexuality as normal or superior.

Left unaddressed, internalised homophobia can contribute to depression, anxiety and panic disorder, compulsive sexual behaviours, substance addictions, chronic stress, relationship difficulties and even the risk of staying in abusive situations. Whatever the concern, there is no need for embarrassment — these are legitimate, treatable concerns, and every session is private, respectful and entirely non-judgemental.

When to Seek Help

If a sexual health concern is causing you distress, affecting your confidence, or straining a relationship — it is worth talking about. With internalised homophobia in particular, the first step is to recognise it as a disorder and identify its underlying causes, then approach specialists for both physical and mental health support. These concerns rarely improve by being ignored, but they respond well to care. Every session is private and judgement-free.
