Sexual or relationship concerns can be difficult to talk about and may negatively impact our emotional well-being and mental health. Often people tell me they have not felt comfortable discussing sexuality with other therapists and seek me out to explore issues of concern without judgement. As an accredited psychosexual therapist and mental health social worker I have worked for nearly 30 years supporting people to improve their sexual and interpersonal relationships, manage depression, anxiety, low self esteem, body image issues, sexual pleasure post trauma, grief, loss, communication difficulties and other concerns.
I am a queer, kink and sex worker friendly practitioner who provides a safe space for people to explore issues whether sexuality and relationship related or other mental health concerns. I can provide Medicare rebates if you have a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP and am highly experienced working with the LGBTIQA+ community.
I appreciate that talking about personal matters and especially sexual ones can sometimes feel difficult or embarrassing and most people say they feel relieved to have these conversations in a safe and supportive way with me. I look forward to hearing from you if you think I can assist with any of your mental health concerns.
