A sexologist is a healthcare professional trained in assessing and treating sexual difficulties and relationship concerns related to intimacy. Using a biopsychosocial approach, the sexologist addresses problems such as erectile dysfunction, desire disorders, orgasm difficulties, and couple issues connected to sexuality. They provide a non-judgmental space to explore intimate concerns and offer evidence-based therapeutic strategies.
Verify advanced training in sexology (master's degree, postgraduate diploma) combined with a base qualification in medicine, psychology, nursing, or psychotherapy from an accredited institution. In the UK, check registration with RCCP (Royal College of Psychiatrists) or BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). In Israel, confirm accreditation by the Ministry of Health and membership in the Israeli Association for Clinical Sexology; titles may include 'Clinical Sexologist' or 'Sex Therapist'.
What the profession can do
What it cannot treat
Psychologist or couple therapist
Psychologists treat general emotional and relational difficulties in couples, while sexologists specialise specifically in sexual and intimate dimensions. Both may collaborate for comprehensive care.
General practitioner or urologist
Medical doctors diagnose and treat organic causes (hormonal imbalance, vascular disease, medication side effects). Sexologists address the psychological and relational aspects, often working alongside physicians.
Gynaecologist
Gynaecologists manage infections, structural abnormalities, and hormonal disorders in women. Sexologists explore the psychosexual and relationship dimensions, typically in collaboration with medical specialists.
