Real Stories: How Rishabh Bhola’s Sessions Changed Lives

My Husband Preferred Porn & Masturbation Over Me (Melbourne, Australia)

I never thought I’d feel like the third wheel in my own marriage, but that’s exactly what happened. My husband had no interest in being intimate with me. He’d always say he was tired or simply not in the mood. But late at night, I’d catch him watching porn and masturbating. It hurt more than I can explain. I felt invisible, rejected, and completely alone. I started wondering what was wrong with me and why I wasn’t enough for him. I tried talking to him, but he’d brush it off by saying, “It’s normal.” What he didn’t understand was how much it was hurting me and affecting our marriage. I was crying myself to sleep, feeling lonely even though I had a husband beside me.

​

After months of frustration, I finally convinced him to see Rishabh. I had read a lot about him on online forums and felt he could help us. At first, my husband was in denial and didn’t think there was a real problem. Dr. Bhola helped him understand how his porn use had affected his mind and made real intimacy feel less important. With counselling, practical exercises, and more honest conversations, things slowly started to change. My husband became more present and emotionally connected to me. We began talking openly about what we were both feeling, and our intimacy gradually started to feel natural again instead of forced.

​

Now, our marriage feels alive again. We talk, we connect, and I no longer feel like I’m competing with a screen. I feel seen by my husband again, and that means more to me than I can put into words. I’m genuinely grateful to Dr. Bhola for helping us understand what was happening and giving us the support we needed.

My Husband Always Avoided Sex, and I Thought It Was Me (San Jose, California)

For years, I thought I wasn’t attractive enough, not sexy enough, or simply not good enough. My husband never initiated sex, and whenever I did, he would make excuses. He was too tired, too stressed, or simply not in the mood. At first, I tried to understand, but over time, I started feeling like I was pushing him into something he didn’t want. I slowly began to withdraw, and so did he. We became more like roommates than a married couple. I felt rejected, and resentment slowly built up. I kept wondering if he had lost interest in me or if there was someone else. I questioned myself constantly, and it was emotionally exhausting. I missed feeling wanted by the person I loved.

​

Eventually, I asked him to see a professional after coming across Dr. Bhola’s videos on Instagram. I was surprised to learn that low sexual desire in men is more common than I had thought. It wasn’t always simply about not wanting sex. There could be deeper emotional and psychological factors involved. Dr. Bhola helped my husband understand his avoidance and helped both of us work towards rebuilding our intimacy. He also helped me understand that this was not my fault. Now, for the first time in years, we feel like a couple again. We laugh, we talk, we touch, and we enjoy being close to each other. Our intimacy no longer feels like something either of us has to force. It feels natural and mutual.

​

If you’re struggling like I was, please know that you don’t have to keep carrying it alone. Getting the right help can make a real difference. Dr. Bhola helped us find our way back to each other.

My Husband Always Avoided Sex, and I Thought It Was Me (Toronto, Canada)

It’s hard to say this, but for a long time, my marriage felt empty. My husband and I hardly had any intimacy. Whenever I tried to talk about it, he would avoid the conversation or simply say he wasn’t in the mood. What hurt me the most was knowing that he still had sexual needs, just not with me. He would wait until I fell asleep and then go to another room to masturbate. I felt unwanted, rejected, and so alone.

I started feeling like I was competing with something I couldn’t understand. He wasn’t cheating on me, but it still hurt to feel that he would rather be alone than be close to me. I cried a lot and kept asking myself what was wrong with me. After some time, I honestly started believing that our marriage could not be saved. That’s when I found Dr. Rishabh Bhola. My husband was not very comfortable with the idea of therapy at first, but he agreed to try. After a few sessions, I started seeing small changes. Dr. Bhola helped him understand why he was behaving this way and how it was affecting both of us. For the first time, my husband was able to accept that there was a problem and actually work on it.

Slowly, things started getting better. We began talking more openly, spending more time together, and feeling close again. I realised that this was not only about sex. We had lost our connection as a couple, and we needed help finding it again. Today, our marriage feels completely different. I feel loved, wanted, and close to my husband again. I never thought we would get back to this place, but we did.

FAQ

What approach do you use in couples counseling?

My approach is integrative, drawing on evidence-based couples therapy and psychosexual therapy methods, tailored to what your relationship needs. Rather than deciding who is right, we focus on understanding the patterns beneath conflict, distance, or sexual difficulty, and work toward healthier ways of responding to each other.

How do you measure progress?

We set clear goals together in the first few sessions. This might include better communication, more emotional or physical closeness, or fewer recurring arguments. We review progress against these goals regularly. Progress is not only measured by whether you stop fighting. It also includes whether you both feel safer, more understood, and better able to handle hard moments together.

How long does it typically take to see improvement?

This depends on how long-standing the difficulties are and how ready both partners are to engage. Many couples notice shifts within the first few sessions, particularly once communication patterns become clearer. Deeper or longer-standing patterns, including sexual concerns, often take more time. The first session usually gives a clearer sense of what your situation may need.

Can you share outcomes or success rates from past clients?

No two couples or situations are alike, so I do not make general success-rate claims. Progress is judged against your own goals rather than averages. I also do not share identifiable details about past or current clients. Confidentiality is a core part of how I practise.

What if one partner is less motivated to be there?

This is common. One partner may feel hopeful while the other is uncertain or attending mainly because they were asked to. Therapy makes room for that difference without placing blame on either person. Progress is still possible as long as both people are willing to engage honestly, even if their motivation is not equal.

How do you handle confidentiality with sensitive topics?

Confidentiality is discussed clearly in the first session, along with any legal limits that apply. Sensitive subjects, including infidelity, sexual difficulties, or personal history, are approached without judgment. Both partners take part voluntarily and understand what is being discussed and why.

Can couples counseling help with sexual problems?

Yes. As a sex therapist, I work with couples on concerns such as:

 

Sexual difficulties often affect trust, self-esteem, and communication as well, so we tend to work on these together rather than in isolation.

Do we need to be in crisis to start counseling?

No. Many couples come in wanting to strengthen communication, deepen intimacy, or navigate a life change, not because the relationship is close to ending. Starting earlier often makes it easier to address small patterns before they become harder to change.
