Sexology and Kink
Dr. Andre is not a sexologist, but as a Systemic and Couple Psychotherapist, he explores the complex issues surrounding sexuality and societal taboos about sex. His approach is both educational and systemic, reflecting his broader work in psychotherapy. Discussions about sexuality and its role within relationships are familiar territory in Dr. Andre's clinical practice. As a Couple Psychotherapist, Dr. Andre has a strong interest in sexology, delving into how people express their sexuality and the emotions they experience around sexual expression within their relationships. This understanding is crucial in both individual and couple therapy.
​
"I'm fascinated by how society shapes people's beliefs about sex, sexuality, sexual orientation, and sexual expression," Dr. Andre shares. "In therapy, we explore practical and relational ways to understand sexuality, often as a key reason why people seek therapy. I encourage critical thinking about sexual stereotypes and the various ways people express their sexuality."
Dr. Andre is open to learning about and exploring sexuality with individuals and couples of all sexual orientations—whether straight, gay, bi, or trans. He acknowledges that his views on sexual orientation don't fit neatly into rigid categories, recognizing that sexual orientation can be more fluid than society often acknowledges. This fluidity might stem from social constructs that define what it means to be a man, a woman, or a couple.
​
In Dr. Andre's experience, some women struggle with low desire for intimacy and may find little pleasure in sexual activities. They often face challenges in experiencing orgasm during sex or self pleasure. In therapy, Dr. Andre explores the relational dynamics underlying these issues. There are also instances where women experience pain during sex, and Dr. Andre frequently collaborates with clients' GPs to ensure that medical factors are not contributing to the problem.
​
For men, concerns like premature ejaculation often come up. Men may find it difficult to control their ejaculation or maintain an erection as long as they'd like. Dr. Andre helps clients understand how psychological and relational factors, such as stress, can contribute to these issues, while also acknowledging that medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure might play a role.
​
When it comes to couples, sometimes they need to rediscover each other sexually, especially if they've become more like best friends and have forgotten how to freely express themselves sexually. Dr. Andre focuses on Systemic Psychotherapy in these cases, helping couples reconnect both sexually and emotionally. If infidelity has occurred, he works with them to rebuild trust and explore ways to rekindle their sexual adventurousness.
​
Young men and women also face unique challenges related to sex, such as masturbation, premature ejaculation, wet dreams, sexual orientation, the use of vibrators, practicing safe sex, body image concerns, and anxieties about penis or breast size, muscle appearance, and sexual encounters. Dr. Andre provides a supportive, educational space to discuss these topics, encouraging thoughtful reflection and open dialogue.
​
Pornography is another subject Dr. Andre addresses with individuals and couples. He facilitates conversations about how couples can communicate openly about this matter, particularly focusing on issues like pornography addiction and the infidelity it might bring. He also explores how pornography can affect body image and create unrealistic expectations in relationships, which are frequent topics in couple therapy.
​
Dr. Andre is also curious about how individuals explore different aspects of their sexuality and sexual orientation, especially with men who sometimes have rigid self-perceptions.
​
​In addition to his focus on sexual health, Dr. Andre places great importance on fitness and overall well being. He believes that when people feel good about themselves, they express themselves more fully— body, mind, and soul. Encouraging a healthy lifestyle and diet is part of his approach to enhancing confidence, and he offers support in this area as well.
