Low Libido Counselling Dublin

Our therapy helps uncover the emotional and relational causes behind changes in sexual desire.

Let’s talk about it.

many shapes and forms

Understanding Low Libido

Fluctuations in sexual desire are part of being human. Yet when low libido persists, it can leave a person – or a couple – feeling distant, worried, or frustrated.

Desire can fade for many reasons: exhaustion, stress, relationship strain, medication, or underlying emotional conflict.

Sometimes, it’s not just about sex itself, but about what sex represents – closeness, attention, or acceptance.

Therapy offers a space to think about these experiences without shame, and to understand what might have gone quiet beneath the surface.

What causes low libido?

Low libido can serve many psychological functions.

For some, it’s a quiet form of protest in a relationship; for others, it’s a defence against vulnerability or expectation.

Desire doesn’t disappear without reason – it often retreats when something in the psyche feels overwhelmed, unexpressed, or unheard.

By understanding what’s holding desire back, therapy can help restore a more natural rhythm to intimacy and connection.

Speak to a Therapist
transforming intimacy

How does therapy help for low libido?

Therapy provides a safe and reflective space to speak openly about sex, desire, and the emotions that surround them.

Through talking, it becomes possible to see how desire is shaped by our history, our relationships, and our sense of self.

As insight grows, so too can curiosity, comfort, and closeness – often in unexpected ways.

Our psychotherapists are trained to listen deeply and work sensitively, helping you rediscover what intimacy can mean for you.

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.
