Currently I am taking referrals for relationship therapy only, I am not taking new referrals for individual therapy.
Counselling for sexual difficulties and supporting people to achieve their sexual goals.
Many people choose to come to sex therapy as they have had a worry about a sexual difficulty or something they would like to improve around their sexuality, sexual health or sexual relationships. Sex therapy is just like any other type of therapy; it is counselling where someone has identified a sexual problem that they would like to change.
I see both individuals and couples for sexual difficulties and particularly where a person is in a relationship, I would be focussing on the relationship itself and improving emotional intimacy prior to addressing the sexual difficulty.
Receiving therapy for sexual difficulties under a Mental Health Treatment Plan is possible and you can receive a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions per year. Ask your GP or Specialist if this is an option for you.
