No. You are welcome to attend sessions by yourself or with your partner(s). I believe that a healthy relationship first starts with your relationship with yourself. When we learn to accept and love ourself, it makes room to step into our full pleasure body and show up authentically in our life and in our relationships.

Sessions
What happens during a session?
As a sex, relationship, and mental health counsellor, I help individuals and couples deepen their connection with their bodies, enhance intimacy and pleasure, and heal from sexual challenges or past traumas. Each session is tailored to your unique goals and may involve guided discussions, practical exercises, and tools designed to support your personal growth and healing. My approach creates a safe and supportive environment to explore sensitive topics and work towards greater emotional, relational, and physical well-being.
Are online sessions available?
Yes. You are welcome to attend your session in-person, online or via phone.
Is there a minimum number of sessions?
Sessions are customised to meet the needs of each client. Depending on your desired outcome you may only require one session. Other clients may want ongoing sessions if they are dealing with more complex issues.
I’m feeling nervous and I’m not sure if this is right for me?
It’s totally normal to feel nervous. Sharing private and vulnerable aspects of ourselves may feel uncomfortable at first, especially when we’ve often grown up in a world where we haven’t been taught to feel empowered about our sexuality.
It’s important to work with someone who allows you to feel comfortable, safe and heard so that you feel supported in your journey. If you’re feeling unsure, please feel free to book in a free pre-consultation call to see if you feel that we’ll be a good fit.
Payments
Are Medicare or Health Fund rebates available?
Currently Medicare rebates are not available for sessions. If you have private health insurance, check with your provider whether they cover such services.
