About
If you’re feeling uncertain, disconnected, or struggling with intimacy, identity, or sexual wellbeing, you’re not alone. Many people seek therapy because they want a space where they can speak openly, feel understood, and reconnect with themselves or their relationships in a way that feels safe, respectful, and affirming.
​
I’m Daniel Di Pietro, a Melbourne-based sexologist and psychotherapist providing sex therapy and relational support for individuals, couples, and diverse relationship structures across Australia via telehealth. I work empathically and collaboratively with people of all cultural, gender, and sexual identities, offering a confidential, non-judgmental space where your experiences and concerns are met with care, curiosity, and dignity.
​
I specialise in supporting challenges around intimacy and connection, desire discrepancy, pleasure and intimate pain, sexual functioning, kink and fetish-related concerns, navigating sexual and gender identity, relational difficulties, and male sexual health. My approach is holistic and client-centred, helping you access your strengths and develop practical tools to move through the challenges you’re facing.
​
My work is grounded in humanistic therapeutic interventions that are emotion-focused, experiential and tailored to your individual needs and experiences. I aim to create an emotionally supportive environment where you can better understand, connect with, and make sense of your emotional world in creating space for meaningful, lasting change. I am also trained in the Gottman Methods for relational therapy, supporting couples and partnerships in strengthening communication, trust, and emotional connection.
​
Whether you’re seeking clarity, confidence, healing, or deeper connection, you’re welcome here. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to book a session and begin this work together.
