Sexual Addiction Counselling in West Lakes, SA

Life can throw many challenges our way where we can feel overwhelmed. The opportunity to talk through these challenges with a neutral person in a confidential, caring and empathetic space can provide you with the support you need as you navigate these times.

You promised you would not watch online porn or live sex cams again. You feel guilt and shame because you want to stop but cant. You visited a sex worker recently and now you are worried you might have put the health of your family at risk. You plan to spend a short time on dating apps and find yourself spending hours on them, unable to put them down, feeling desperate and hopeless. You have an instant attraction when you meet a particular type of person, believing they are the one. You might be in recovery for alcohol / drug addiction, but your compulsive sexual acting out behaviours have increased and you feel guilt and shame.

Hi, my name is Rachel and I support women experiencing the devastation that is partner betrayal. Perhaps your partner has been cheating or keeping secret sexual behaviours from you? This can include things such as porn addiction, repeated emotional and/or sexual infidelities. This type of personal betrayal is heart-breaking and life shattering. Following discovery of betrayals, you may experience some of the following: overwhelming emotions, intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, preoccupation, difficulty functioning day to day, changes to your sense of self, sleep issues, physical symptoms, isolation and many more.

While it's natural to engage in pleasurable activities & behaviours, when that engagement becomes compulsive, overwhelming, and out-of-control, the negative consequences can become destructive & unmanageable, especially when addicted to Sex & Porn. We sometimes adopt these behaviours as a means of gaining momentary relief from any pain, anxiety, or trauma that exists in our lives, but regularly feel intense shame and despair after acting out sexually. Then, shame & isolation serve to maintain the addictive cycle, as the problem becomes more complex & often impacts our intimate partner. Don't despair: Help and recovery is available!

I am an accredited clinical sexologist and current President of Society of Australian Sexologists. Our clients are successful, high-achieving individuals and couples who often describe their intimate life as the missing piece of their personal puzzle. I see a handful of clients and specialise in non-normative sexual practices and multi-partnered relationships.

A client would attend the clinic to address their presenting concerns, without the fear of judgement, stigma or shame. A client might be feeling lost, hopeless or worthless and feeling the need to get some assistance with their mood and negative thoughts.

Hello, I am an experienced Clinical Psychotherapist, Counsellor, and Coach with a profound commitment to guiding individuals on their transformative journeys. Trained in the intricacies of Soul Centred Psychotherapy (SCP), a Jungian-based modality, I specialise in fostering a vital connection with the whole self. In the realm of SCP, I can orchestrate a delicate dance between the everyday sense of self and the myriad layers of consciousness. This therapeutic approach illuminates the internal dynamics that shape our thoughts, moods, and behaviours in both personal and interpersonal realms.

I help people sort through messy, complicated and stuck experiences. Our world is confusing and complicated (even at the best of times). We often find ourselves stuck, locked or held back by something we don’t fully understand, yet. I bring the best parts of therapy and coaching together. It’s here in this space, that we will make room for clarity, reflection, presence and activating the right kind of change.

The client informs my counselling approach, not any theory or modality. It's about making the client feel comfortable and being able to communicate confidently with an end goal in sight.

With 13+ years working as a mental health nurse, both in the private and public sector, I have helped hundreds of clients and I am versed in all facets of mental health counselling.
