A sanctuary to safely discuss the colourful landscape of sex & intimacy
(Dip. Holistic Counselling & Life Care)Do you have questions around your core relationship that you can't discuss at home?
Have you contemplated your current relationship or what may be holding you back from entering into one? Are you concerned about commitment, intimacy or sexual prowess?
Let's discuss an option that best suits you. Don't
let life pass you by; free yourself by talking to me - a professional counselor
who embodies an holistic approach (mindfulness, tantric practice and
teachings).
Also, if you're still unsure about the process, know
that this can be integrated into bodywork or chakra balancing. It's your
call, your body, your life...I'm here to listen and support you in making it
more passionate - and at the very least, healthier and joyful!
Do you feel
ready for a more intimate relationship but don't know why you a) haven't met
anyone? b) can't communicate your needs clearly? c) feel disillusioned &
rejected? Maybe you don't feel comfortable with your own body, or lack an
understanding of what sex really means either in a relationship with another,
or in your own self exploration?

What is a Sex Therapist
(Counselling)?
Counselling is much more about your psychological and
emotional wellbeing. As a therapist with professional counselling training
and sex work experience, I am able to support a person go deeper within to
explore the subtle messages of the psyche. Here we may uncover (in a safe and
ethical space) the resonance of trauma or any emotional imbalance borne from past
personal conflicts. These may include experiences in relationship, fear of
intimacy or any other issues, and may be inhibiting quality of life by
presenting as depression or a sense of anger, and frustration - all leading to
relationship breakdowns or of course erectile dysfunction or lack of sexual
desire.
Sex therapy is a specialized form of counselling for adults
that focuses on sexual issues, most often for individuals in relationships
(although you do not need to be in a relationship to seek sex therapy - i see
many men who are concerned about entering into a relationship, the fear itself
disabling an erection).
Sex therapy is usually solution focused. This means that as
a therapist I will try to help you develop a clearly defined issue and the goal
of therapy will be to work on that issue and resolve it, or find a way to make
whatever problems it causes have less of an impact on your life and sex life.
Commonly sex therapy will focus on a sexual dysfunction or major sexual
communication problems between partners.
**Sex therapy is usually brief, lasting anywhere from a few
sessions to more than a dozen sessions.
**Sex therapy is usually directive. I will be active,
asking questions and often giving direct suggestions, homework exercises, and
information in an effort to support your goals for the therapy.
Why have sex therapy?
Generally a sex therapist should be chosen over a general
psychotherapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or other helping professional,
when the issues are very specifically sex related, or when sexuality seems like
a central part of the issue. Some examples of issues that bring people to sex
therapy are:
- Difficulties with erections or ejaculation
- Problems with differing levels of desire in a couple
- Difficulties resulting from infidelities
- Sexual concerns as a result of illness or surgery
- Sexual trauma / abuse
- Vaginal birth issues / post natal intercourse
concerns
- Life change / surgical / illness
This list is not exhaustive, and if you think you are
interested in this form of therapy but unsure? Please call me. I am happy
to spend at least a short time on the phone with you to determine whether or
not I am the appropriate person to be meeting with.
There may be a need to
explore the subtle messages of the psyche; the resonance of trauma or any
emotional imbalance either due to personal conflicts in relationships, fear of
intimacy or any other issues. These may surface here in therapy, and can be in
direct resonance with what you are living with on a daily basis (eg.
depression, or a sense of anger and frustration)
