Let’s talk
You don’t have to find the perfect words.
Questions about sex and intimacy are personal. You might be concerned about differences in desire, changes in sexual experiences, your sense of identity, or how to speak with a partner about what you need.
The first step is a conversation. You can ask about the practitioner’s experience, the boundaries of the work, and what an appointment involves. An enquiry does not require you to share intimate details over WhatsApp.
- Different levels of desire
- Intimacy and communication
- Arousal and erection concerns
- Orgasm-related concerns
- Sexual identity and self-understanding
- Sexual pain and its effect on intimacy
Working together
An approach you understand.
Riaan describes his work as integrating sexology and relationship therapy. Sessions provide a setting to explore emotional, relational, and personal concerns. Physical symptoms may need assessment by a medical professional; you can discuss appropriate referral and coordination of care.
Your first appointment
A conversation to begin with.
You will discuss what brings you to therapy and whether you prefer individual or couple sessions. Ask about consent, confidentiality, and the intended approach. Sex therapy sessions are professional conversations, with clear boundaries agreed before the work begins.

Fees & practical detailsA few things you may be wondering.
Can I attend without a partner?
Yes, you can enquire about individual support. The practice can also discuss couple appointments where appropriate.
Should I include intimate details in my first message?
No. A brief appointment enquiry is enough. Save sensitive history and personal details for an appropriate conversation with the practitioner.
