A Qualitative & Holistic Approach

Beyond Symptoms: Understanding Your Story
Deep Listening for Deep Understanding

My counseling method is rooted in a "Qualitative Approach," which prioritizes your personal narrative over generic diagnoses. I believe that sexual challenges are rarely isolated; they are deeply woven into your cultural background, your environment, and your personal history. Our sessions follow a clear four-stage structure: first, we build a trusting relationship where I simply listen; second, we identify the root causes of the issue; third, we set collaborative goals; and finally, we evaluate your progress. This rigorous yet compassionate method allows for a rich, in-depth understanding of your sexuality, ensuring that our solutions fit the reality of your life.

Who

I Help and How

My practice serves a diverse range of clients, from individuals navigating personal sexual identity to couples seeking to bridge cultural divides. Drawing on over 36 years of research and counseling, I offer specialized support that respects your unique background. Whether you are dealing with physiological changes, psychological barriers, or relationship dynamics, I provide evidence-based guidance to help you navigate your sexual journey with dignity and knowledge.

I help with

Reproductive Health & Medical Sociology

Sexuality changes throughout the lifespan, influenced by pregnancy, childbirth, contraception, or medical history. With a Ph.D. in Medical Sociology, I offer specialized guidance for women and couples navigating these transitions. This includes sensitive, informed counseling for those affected by specific health issues or cultural practices (such as FGM), focusing on healing and reclaiming sexual agency.

I help with

Cross-Cultural Relationships & Intimacy

Navigating intimacy can be complex when partners come from different cultural or ethnic backgrounds. I specialize in the "Psychology of Human Sexuality" within diverse contexts. I help couples understand how their cultural upbringings influence their expectations of sex, gender roles, and communication, helping you build a bridge of understanding and shared pleasure that respects both traditions.

I help with

LGBTQ+ Support & Identity Exploration

I offer an affirmative, safe space for individuals to explore their sexual orientation and gender identity. Whether you are questioning your identity later in life or seeking to understand your own desires better, my qualitative approach allows us to explore your "Sexual Self" without judgment. I support clients in integrating their identity into a healthy, fulfilling life.

I help with

Sexual Function & Performance

I provide a scientific and psychological perspective on common sexual hurdles, including erectile concerns for men and arousal difficulties for women. By explaining the biology of desire alongside the psychology of "performance," I help clients overcome anxiety. We work on understanding the "language of attraction" and sexual motivation to restore confidence and natural function.

I help with

Romantic Rituals & Deepening Connection

Beyond fixing problems, I help clients enhance their pleasure. I guide couples through the "Six Love Patterns" and the art of "Romantic Rituals." From intimate massage techniques to understanding the psychology of fantasy, I teach practical ways to break out of routine and reintroduce playfulness, tenderness, and excitement into your relationship.

Your path to a healthier, more satisfying intimate life begins with a single conversation.

A Structured Path to Sexual Fulfillment

Counseling with Dr. Degni is a collaborative journey conducted entirely through secure virtual sessions. His approach is rooted in the "Qualitative Method," which means he prioritizes understanding the depth of your personal story over quick fixes. From the first moment, you will experience a structured yet empathetic process designed to uncover the root of your challenges and guide you toward lasting well-being.

1.Stage 1: Connection & Listening

The foundation of effective therapy is trust. Your journey begins with a dedicated phase of relationship building, where Dr. Degni focuses entirely on listening to your narrative. This is a safe, pressure-free space for you to share your history, your fears, and your desires, allowing him to understand you as a whole person before attempting any intervention.

2. Stage 2: In-Depth Assessment

Once a bond is established, we move to identifying the core issues. Drawing on his expertise in medical anthropology, Dr. Degni looks beyond immediate symptoms to understand the broader context. We will explore the biological, psychological, and cultural factors contributing to your situation to ensure we are solving the right problem.

3. Stage 3: Collaborative Goal Setting

Recovery and growth require a clear direction. In this stage, we work together to define specific, achievable goals for your counseling. Whether it is overcoming a dysfunction, learning new "romantic rituals," or improving communication, we create a tailored roadmap of strategies designed to meet your unique aspirations.

4. Stage 4: Evaluation & Empowerment

The final stage is focused on ensuring lasting change. We regularly evaluate the progress of our sessions to see if your goals have been met. The objective is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to maintain your sexual well-being independently, ensuring you leave the process feeling confident and fulfilled.
