What we help with

Support for whatever you're working through

Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk therapy that can help you understand and work through concerns related to sexuality, relationships, and connection. Talk openly with a trained counsellor who can help you make sense of what you're experiencing and explore what may be contributing to it.

A drop in libido or lack of interest in sex is one of the most common reasons women seek support. Desire naturally shifts with stress, hormones, relationship dynamics, and life stage, and therapy can help you understand what's behind the change and what might help.
Pain during sex, including painful intercourse (dyspareunia) and involuntary muscle tightening (vaginismus), can be distressing and affect how you feel about sex and your body. Therapy can help you explore the emotional and psychological factors that may be contributing to your experience, alongside any medical care you're receiving, and help you feel more comfortable and at ease.
Struggling to become aroused or reach orgasm can feel frustrating and isolating. These experiences are common and often tied to stress, anxiety, self-consciousness, or disconnection, all of which therapy can help you work through.
Differences in how much or how often partners want sex are a frequent source of tension and hurt. Therapy offers a space to understand each other's needs, reduce blame, and find a way forward together.
Past sexual trauma or difficult experiences can shape how safe and present you feel during intimacy. Trauma-informed therapy moves at your pace, helping you reclaim a sense of safety, choice, and connection in your body.
Feeling self-conscious about your body can make it difficult to feel comfortable, present, or confident during sex. Therapy can help you develop a more compassionate relationship with your body, work through body-related concerns, and feel more at ease in your sexuality.

What shapes sexual wellbeing

Sexual concerns rarely have a single cause. Understanding the different threads can help lift self-blame and point toward what will actually help.

Hormonal shifts across the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause can significantly affect desire, arousal, and comfort. Health conditions, medications (including some antidepressants), and pelvic health issues can also play a role.

Stress, anxiety, depression, and past experiences can all affect how we experience sex and sexuality. Shame, guilt, or messages we've absorbed about sex and our bodies can also shape how we feel about ourselves and make it harder to feel comfortable, confident, and connected.

Our relationships can have a significant impact on how we experience sex and sexuality. Unresolved conflict, difficulty communicating, feeling disconnected from a partner, or a breach of trust can all affect sexual connection and make it harder to feel comfortable and engaged.

Frequently asked questions

What’s on your mind?

Everything you need to know about our counselling services.

Sex therapy is talk therapy. You'll have confidential conversations with a trained counsellor about what you're experiencing, and together you'll work toward understanding and change. You set the pace and share only what you're comfortable with.

It's completely understandable to feel nervous — these are deeply personal topics. Our counsellors are experienced in creating a safe, warm, non-judgmental space, and most people find it becomes much easier to talk once they begin.
