Reaching out for help with a personal or relationship difficulty is not always easy. I respect the courage it takes to make that first contact.
My aim is to provide a safe, confidential and compassionate space in which we can understand the challenges you are facing and work towards practical, meaningful change.
How I help
Therapy for personal and relationship challenges.
Over more than four decades in private practice, I have worked with thousands of individuals and couples across a wide range of emotional, relationship and sexual difficulties.
My approach is generally brief and solution-focused. The focus is on understanding the difficulties you are facing, clarifying what you would like to change and working towards the goals you set for therapy.
I integrate a variety of approaches, including CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy), insight therapy, positive psychology and supportive therapy. I adapt the approach to the needs of each individual or couple.
Couples & relationship therapy
Marital and relationship difficulties including communication problems, conflict, emotional distance, trust, affairs, family pressures and decisions about the future.
Relationship support →Sex & intimacy therapy
Sexual and intimacy difficulties affecting individuals or couples, including concerns about desire, sexual functioning, intimacy and the impact these difficulties may have on a relationship.
Confidentially discuss a concern →Unconsummated marriages
I have extensive experience helping couples who are struggling with an unconsummated marriage, including difficulties involving fear, pain and penetration.
Ask about this specialist area →Compulsive Pornography viewing
Confidential, non-judgmental help for individuals or couples where pornography use has become difficult to control or is affecting wellbeing, intimacy or the relationship.
Start a confidential conversation →Life transitions, grief & retirement
Support with loss and grief, mid-life transition, retirement and the emotional and psychological challenges that can accompany major changes in life.
Talk about a transition →I am Dr Woolf Solomon, a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). I have been in private practice for over 40 years and now offer online therapy to individuals and couples.
During my career I have specialised in individual, marital, relationship and sex therapy. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, panic, post-traumatic stress, phobias, executive burnout, male mid-life transition, sleep difficulties, loss and grief, pornography-related difficulties and unconsummated marriages.
In South Africa I became well known in the media as “Dr Paul”, hosting radio and television programmes and appearing regularly as an expert guest. Over the years I have also supervised clinical psychology and psychiatry students and addressed many corporate and academic audiences locally and internationally.
Areas of particular experience
Some issues can be difficult to talk about.
Relationship and sexual difficulties are often deeply personal. They can be discussed in a confidential, respectful and non-judgmental setting.
When a relationship feels stuck
Long-running conflict, distance, trust difficulties or intimacy problems can become entrenched. Therapy creates a structured space to understand the pattern and decide what needs to change.
Sexual concerns without embarrassment
Sexual difficulties are common and often affect confidence, closeness and communication. They can be discussed directly, respectfully and without judgement.
Specialist experience with couples
I have worked with many couples whose relationships remained unconsummated, helping them address fear, pain, penetration difficulties and the emotional strain that can develop around the problem.
Online therapy
Confidential therapy from the comfort of your own home.
I now offer my practice online, providing confidential and compassionate therapy to individuals and couples from the privacy and convenience of their own home.
