Erectile Dysfunction Counselling Dublin

Our therapy helps you work through the psychological and emotional causes behind erection difficulties.

Let’s talk about it.

many shapes and forms

What causes erectile difficulties?

Erectile dysfunction can affect men at any stage of life. For some, it appears suddenly; for others, it develops gradually.

It can cause frustration, self-doubt, or shame – emotions that can deepen the very problem itself.

While sometimes physical factors can play a role, psychological causes are often significant.

Stress, fear of failure, unspoken relationship tension, or unresolved conflict can all influence the body’s natural response.

Therapy offers a space to speak about these experiences in confidence – without judgement or pressure to perform.

What causes performance anxiety?

Erectile difficulties are rarely only about the body. They often represent something deeper – a struggle around intimacy, vulnerability, or control.

For some, the difficulty acts as an unconscious defence: a way to protect against rejection, exposure, or emotional closeness.

For others, it may reflect the pressure to meet internal or societal expectations of masculinity and sexual adequacy.

Therapy looks at what the symptom might be saying, rather than simply trying to remove it.

How does therapy help for erectile difficulties?

Therapy provides a safe space to explore the personal meaning of erectile difficulties – what they express, protect, or reveal.

Through reflection and dialogue, it becomes possible to understand how desire, anxiety, and shame are connected.

As these patterns come to light, sexual confidence can return naturally – not through techniques or quick fixes, but through genuine understanding and working through.

Our psychotherapists work sensitively and at your own pace, helping you rebuild comfort, intimacy, and trust in yourself.

I had the privilege of working with Ashling Whelan, MIACP, as my therapist at The Other Clinic. I can’t emphasize enough how her compassion, expertise and professionalism have positively transformed my relationship with my partner. Her guidance and insights have been instrumental in helping me navigate and improve my communication and overall connection. I highly recommend Ashling to anyone seeking skilled and compassionate therapy.

“I was recommended this clinic and was sceptical at first, much like about putting a review online, but after the level of care I received I wanted to share. I had a lot of questions like was it for me, would I be able, could I afford it etc. but after contacting them many of these were answered and I felt more at ease. I had been struggling with things for a while and when I started I didn’t quite understand the connection between what the psychotherapist said and what I was saying but it really taught me to think twice about things and why I might feel a certain way, it’s really opened my eyes. Coming to counselling and more importantly sticking it out is one of the best decisions I’ve made and I’m sincerely thankful for all their help. Thanks again!!”

I can’t sufficiently express how grateful and appreciative I am, without writing thousands upon thousands of words, for the help and support my therapist here gives me in doing the hard, frightening and sad work that needs doing in order for therapy to be truly beneficial. Almost 18 months of weekly appointments and I can peacefully say that I’ll keep going for as long as I can. Thank you so much for providing a space and the support I need to consistently learn, grow and love myself.
