Confidential assessment for sexual concerns with psychological or relationship factors.

Confidential English and Hindi Detailed assessment
Understanding the concern

The experience matters as much as the label.

Sexual concerns can involve physical, psychological, medication-related and relationship factors. A private, non-judgmental assessment helps clarify the concern and the appropriate next step.

You do not need to identify the condition yourself before consulting. Begin with what has changed, how long it has continued and how it is affecting everyday life.

01

Performance anxiety

02

Reduced desire or arousal concerns

03

Distress linked to sexual thoughts or behaviour

04

Relationship-related sexual difficulties

What assessment considers

A symptom can have more than one explanation.

The pattern

When symptoms began, their frequency, severity and effect on work, study, sleep or relationships.

Health and medicines

Physical illness, prescribed medicines, substances and relevant investigations where needed.

Life context

Recent changes, stress, family observations, support systems and the person’s own priorities.

Safety and urgency

Any immediate concern involving self-harm, severe agitation, confusion or inability to remain safe.

How care may help

A treatment plan should make sense in real life.

Care is decided after assessment. Depending on the concern, it may include clear explanations, practical changes, psychotherapy guidance, medication or coordination with another specialist.
