Trouble getting or keeping an erection is far more common than most men realize. It is also one of the hardest things to talk about. Therapy gives you a confidential space to understand what is causing it and work on it without shame. You can come alone or with your partner.
Many men believe erectile dysfunction only happens with age. It does not. It affects men in their 20s and 30s too. At a younger age it is more often linked to stress, anxiety or pressure than to a physical condition. It is also rarely all or nothing. Many men get an erection some of the time and not others. That is still worth looking at.
It is often a mix of both. Some clues can help.
Patterns that often point to a psychological cause:
Patterns that often point to a physical cause:
These are clues and not a diagnosis. Erectile dysfunction can also be an early sign of other health conditions. So I always recommend a medical check alongside therapy. Some medicines for blood pressure or depression can affect erections too. Never stop a medicine on your own. Speak to your doctor first.
Therapy and medical care work well together. I work on the psychological side and a doctor looks at the physical side. I do not prescribe medication.

After one or two difficult experiences most men start watching themselves during sex. Is it working? Will it go away? That watching pulls you out of the moment. The worry itself works against arousal. So the next time becomes harder. If this sounds familiar the sexual performance anxiety page explains this cycle in more detail.
Erectile difficulty rarely stays in the bedroom. Many men start avoiding affection because any touch might lead to sex. Partners often read this as rejection. They wonder if they are no longer attractive or if something else is going on. Both people end up quietly hurting and not talking about it. Therapy gives you a place to talk about this without blame.
Many men try tablets or products bought online or at clinics promising a quick cure before they speak to anyone. Some are unsafe and they rarely look at why it is happening. Please speak to a qualified doctor before taking any medicine for this.
If you are searching this for your partner please know it is almost certainly not about you or how attractive you are. Jokes and sighs make it worse. Try not to push for answers or take it personally. A calm and kind conversation helps most. You are welcome to come to sessions with your partner or on your own.
Sessions are talk based. There is no physical exam and no physical contact. In early sessions we look at when it started, what situations it happens in, your health, your stress and your relationship. From there the work usually focuses on taking pressure off performance and rebuilding confidence step by step. This can include gradual exercises you do in private or with your partner. They are done outside session and at your pace. Therapy can run alongside any medical treatment you are getting.

Yes when anxiety, stress or relationship pressure is driving it. When there is also a physical cause therapy works best alongside medical care. Many men see real improvement.
You do not need to. But I recommend a medical check especially if it built up slowly or you have a health condition. We can plan both together.
Yes. It is more common in younger men than most people think and it is usually linked to stress or anxiety.
Usually because there is no pressure when you are alone. This pattern often points to anxiety rather than a physical problem.
No. Attraction and erections are not the same thing. This is one of the most common fears men bring in and it is rarely true.
No. Many men start on their own. A partner can join later if you both want that.
