For Individuals

There are many reasons individuals come to a sexologist.

Having a safe space to discuss everything that may be impacting your ability to have a fulfilling sex life and sexual relationships can be a life changing experience.

For many people this is the first time they are talking about their sexuality, desires, bodily experiences of pleasure, and fantasies. It can be an empowering journey of self-discovery, full of healing and enlightened expansion of possibilities.

These sessions are truly tailored for your needs. Some people will need an educational and behavioural approach to address their concerns, while others will recognise that their barriers to fulfilment are more emotional and need a more traditional style of talk therapy.

Sex therapy often works in conjunction with other healthcare professionals to deliver gold-standard treatment for sexual disorders and dysfunctions.

This service is fully confidential within the bounds of ethical practice. You can choose to sign a waiver to communicate with your other healthcare professionals addressing your sexological concern. For example, a GP, pelvic-floor physiotherapist, urologist, or sex-focused occupational therapist.

For Couples

There are many reasons couples come to a sexologist. Many of them are similar to the reasons individuals come, but also have the additional concern of how it is impacting the relationship itself. Sex influences how close a couple feels, the richness of their connection, and how satisfied they feel in the relationship.

Sexual concerns usually emerge relationally, even if they originate in an individual concern. In couples sex therapy, individual concerns may be addressed through how it presents relationally. However, the focus remains on the couple.

Couples sex therapy tracks patterns of relating and dynamics that play out subconsciously. Unspoken assumptions, silent body language conversations, and repressed core emotional wounds and needs can all come to the surface is a soft and gentle way for deep healing to make space for playful pleasure to emerge.

There is no set way a couple’s sex life should look like - regardless of what society may try to tell you! The one important thing is recognising the importance of communicating your needs and cultivating curiosity and kindness towards your partner’s perspective. There is always space for pleasure and ways to get it, it just needs to be found.

Getting help navigating the journey towards reestablishing, or creating, pleasure and satisfaction in your relationship is a gift of love and an act of true belief.
