-
What is Embodied Sexual Therapy?
Embodied Sexual Therapy is a talk-based therapeutic approach designed to help individuals reconnect with their sex lives and improve intimacy.
My approach combines Somatic Therapy, Psychosexual Therapy, and Counselling to address sexual concerns, enhance pleasure, and support overall sexual well-being. This blend of techniques draws on my extensive expertise and training to provide a personalised, integrative path to sexual health and wellness.
-
Is Embodied Sexual Therapy a touch-based therapy?
No, my approach is non-touch.
We work through conversation, somatic techniques, and embodied practices to bring awareness to your body’s sensations, emotional responses, and behaviours.
This helps you reconnect with your sexual self and experience healing through mindful, body-centered work.
-
Who can benefit from Embodied Sexual Therapy?
Embodied Sexual Therapy is beneficial for anyone who feels disconnected from sex, is experiencing challenges in intimacy, or has sexual concerns such as painful intercourse, low libido, mismatched libidos, arousal concerns, orgasm difficulties or sexual trauma.
It is also ideal for those looking to reclaim their sexual confidence and build deeper, more fulfilling connections.
-
What can I expect during a session?
During a session, we will explore your concerns through conversation, focusing on how your emotional and physical experiences intersect with your sexual health.
You will be guided through somatic exercises designed to enhance your awareness of your body’s sensations and responses.
Each session is tailored to your unique needs, providing a safe, non-judgmental space to express yourself.
-
Do I need to be in a relationship to benefit from therapy?
No, Embodied Sexual Therapy is for anyone, regardless of relationship status.
Whether you’re single or in a relationship, this therapy will help you reconnect with your own desires, address personal sexual concerns, and improve your overall well-being.
-
How long does a session last?
Each session is 60 minutes delivered over zoom or in person. However, the frequency and duration of therapy will depend on your personal needs and goals.
I generally say 3-6 sessions per concern and we will review and negotiate further sessions and goals as needed. Sometimes one session is enough to have a deep transformation also.
-
Is this therapy evidence-based?
Yes my approach is evidence-based. Sessions integrate principles from Somatic Therapy, Psychosexual Therapy, and Counselling.
It is informed by the latest research in trauma, sexual health, and embodied practices. This blend allows me to tailor my approach to your unique needs and provide a deeply transformative healing experience.
-
Is Embodied Sexual Therapy confidential?
Yes, all sessions are completely confidential, ensuring that you feel safe and comfortable to explore your sex health and well-being, desires, and concerns.
Your privacy and trust are paramount in our work together. However, please note that there are legal requirements for mandatory reporting in cases of imminent harm to yourself or others, or in cases of child welfare.
-
What is the pricing for therapy?
The therapy sessions are private and not covered by Medicare.
Individual Sessions: $195 per session
Couples Sessions: $225 per session
Each session lasts 60 minutes, and a tailored approach will be taken to address your specific needs.
-
What is your scope of practice?
As a non-practicing medical doctor, I want to be clear that I do not act in the capacity of a medical doctor during our sessions.
My scope of practice is focused on sexual dysfunction and psychosexual therapy. I do not provide medical opinions, mental health diagnoses, or management of medical conditions, nor do I order blood tests, imaging, or other medical procedures.
I work as part of your overall healthcare team and am more than happy to collaborate with your doctor, psychologist, pelvic floor physiotherapist, or any other healthcare providers you may be seeing to support your overall well-being.
