SEXUAL WELLNESS
What is Sexual Welness?
Many couples do not know how to communicate their sexual desires with their partner, or they feel like they’re in the dark about the best ways to have a deeply satisfying sexual experience. Life Supports sex and intimacy counselling can shine a light on those areas of your sex life that need improvement, and give you the tools to create the sex life you desire.
Sex and sexuality issues can impact greatly on both your personal wellbeing, and the quality of your sexual relationship. Our sex therapy and sexuality counsellors are trained to help you identify and address these issues.

Sexuality issues can be the source of angst, conflict and self-doubt. A young person who is exploring their sexuality may find it a confusing and challenging time. A parent may also struggle coming to terms with their son or daughter’s emerging sexuality – whether heterosexual or queer – and the way this sexuality is being expressed.
