Sexuality
Sexuality can deeply affect our sense of vitality and wellbeing.
These are issues that can be hard to talk about. I use a sensitive, sex positive approach to help you explore issues that are important to you in order to decrease shame and/or increase overall sense of wellness. Some areas of specialization include:
- LGBTQ issues
- Patterns of sexual desire
- Concerns with sexual function
- Sexual assault
- Infections
- Chronic pelvic pain, including endometriosis and vaginal/sexual pain
- Pleasure
Gender
Gender is an important way in which we interact with the world. It for many is connected to their biological sex. For others it is more complex, as they identify with masculine or feminine characteristics or ways of being that are not lined up with their biology. It can be very confusing as gender often impacts how we interact with the world in so many subtle ways. In my counselling practice I support people with the exploration of gender and support them to make changes to their gender expression if that is something they want to try. I also support access of medical options for transitioning. This includes me writing Hormone Readiness Assessment Letters for clients as well as being involved in Surgical Planning.
