Quick answer
Sexuality and intimacy counselling is talk therapy for individuals or couples experiencing concerns about sexual connection, desire, emotional closeness or sexual identity. A counsellor helps you understand the emotional, relational and cultural factors involved, improve communication about needs and boundaries, and rebuild trust and closeness at a comfortable pace.
Counselling is talk-based only. Some sexual concerns have medical causes, so we may suggest seeing your doctor alongside counselling.
Is this right for you?
Concerns about intimacy are very common and nothing to be ashamed of.
Partners wanting different amounts or kinds of intimacy.
Feeling more like roommates than partners.
Embarrassment or conflict when discussing needs and boundaries.
Worry or pressure around performance or intimacy.
Intimacy affected by past trauma, infidelity or major life events.
Exploring sexual orientation or identity in a safe, accepting space.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation to ask questions and see if we are the right fit. No referral is needed.
