Sex Therapy in Finland – Porn Addiction and Compulsive Sexual Behaviour (CSBD)

You are not alone. Help is available and change is possible.

I offer sex therapy in English online and in person in Kuopio, Finland. I provide professional sex therapy in Finland for people struggling with porn addiction and compulsive sexual behaviour.

I am a trained sex therapist and addiction therapist specialising in compulsive sexual behaviour (CSBD) and porn addiction.

You are welcome to contact me if you are experiencing for example:

  • porn addiction

  • compulsive sexual behaviour (CSBD)

  • sexual difficulties such as erectile problems

  • shame, anxiety or confusion related to sexuality

  • relationship difficulties connected to sexual behaviour

Therapy offers a safe and confidential space to talk about sensitive issues and to better understand the patterns behind them.

 

What is porn addiction?

Porn addiction refers to a pattern of pornography use that becomes difficult to control and begins to affect wellbeing, relationships or everyday life.

Many people initially use pornography as a way to cope with stress, loneliness or difficult emotions. Over time, the behaviour may become repetitive and harder to manage.

When sexual behaviour begins to feel compulsive or starts affecting daily life, relationships or wellbeing, it may be helpful to talk with a professional.

 

How therapy can help

In therapy we explore together what maintains compulsive sexual behaviour and how the cycle can begin to change.

Therapy may include:

  • understanding the emotional background of the behaviour

  • recognising triggers and behavioural patterns

  • developing healthier ways to cope with stress and difficult emotions

  • building a healthier and more balanced relationship with sexuality

The therapy process moves at your own pace and focuses on your individual situation.

 

Signs of porn addiction or compulsive sexual behaviour

People struggling with compulsive sexual behaviour or porn addiction often experience thoughts such as:

  • sexual thoughts occupy a large part of my time

  • I feel unable to control my use of pornography

  • I am afraid someone might find out

  • I feel alone with this problem

  • my relationship is affected by my sexual behaviour

If you recognise these experiences, it may help to talk with a professional in a confidential and supportive setting.
