7 Weeks to Better Sex

7 weeks to better sex couple's program

Thank you for enquiring about our clinic for treatment of Sexual dysfunction. Since 1998 we have treated couples of all ages, committed to working together on their sexual relationship. We offer no “cures”. We direct our energy and knowledge to assist you with clarification identify behavioural patterns blocking your comfortable functioning and suggest ways you may use at home to resolve your difficulties. It requires time and effort from both of you, as well as from all of us who work with you. We know from follow – up, that couples may continue to grow in their relationship long after they have left the 7 – week clinic, but they may also slip back into the old problems.

We offer 7 weekly sessions of 2 - hour duration, except for the final week, which is one month after the 7th session. You will be seen together as a couple by a therapist team. The therapists are from different disciplines, with Dr Elna McIntosh being a clinical Sexologist and the co – therapist will either be a qualified psychologist or Social Worker or Health Care Professional under supervision of Dr McIntosh.

Should you invite us into your lives, you deserve optimal care. There is a complete Sexological exam for each partner in week 2, unless you have been seen by your own Gynaecologist or Urologist for any Sexual Dysfunction condition. The questionnaires we give you are to reflect on self, partner and marriage (relationship). Our intensive relationship counselling strives to enhance communication. Educative materials are viewed at home and you will receive your own set of 5 DVD's, from the “Sex a Life Long Pleasure” series. Our treatment is privately as a couple, with your therapist team. Change between a couple may be difficult, but we know that it is possible if you cooperate at home as suggested. We’ll do our best and ask you to do the same.

There is a waiting list of up to 6 weeks, depending on where other couples are in their therapeutic sessions, at present. So maximum wait to start will be between 1 – 6 weeks. Total cost of the program is R6,000-00 for cash or R7,500-00 if paid in 3 instalments of R3,500 – 00 and 2 post dated cheques of R2,000-00) for the full 7 weeks. Your final decision to attend is an obligation for the entire seven weeks attendance.

If you have further questions, please call Elsa Vermooten (011) 787 – 1222 between 09h00 – 17h00, or disa@icon.co.za
