Sexuality & Sex Therapy - nWow! Counselling & Coaching

Sex and sexuality is a topic that many people find hard to talk about yet feel is an extremely important part of who they are as a person.  Unfortunately most of us growing up are not taught how to have a pleasure-filled sex life.  We pick up incorrect beliefs and expectations about what sex and our bodies should be like from media, pornography, society and the people around us.

Sex often becomes a topic filled with frustration, confusion, shame and embarrassment, as well as fear and judgement.

We can help you as you work through issues related to sex and sexuality.  Psychosexual therapy (aka sex therapy) is about providing a safe space to talk about your situation – your concerns, emotions and thoughts that come up – as well as helping you work out your next steps.  We will help dispel any myths and support you in finding self-acceptance with your sexual expression.

Sex and sexuality topics are numerous and may be affecting you at a mental, emotional, physical and/or spiritual level – often on all levels as sex and sexuality concerns are often connected to all areas of our lives and wellbeing.

Topics and issues you might like support with in sex therapy include:

• Desire discrepancy (differences in libido)
• Fantasies, sexual interests and kinks
• Navigating opening up, polyamory, and consensual non-monogamy
• Understanding arousal
• Painful sex
• Body concerns
• Fear of intimacy
• Challenges with getting turned on and orgasms
• Effects of porn on intimacy
• Erectile dysfunction
• Expanding your options for experiencing pleasure
• Learning how to be mindful and grounded during sex
• Finding your voice and empowerment as a sexual being
• Sexual orientation and gender identity
• Relationship challenges due to sex and sexuality differences and/or changes
• Getting the sex education you wish you got when you were younger
• Enjoying sex just for fun — enjoying sex as a way of connecting — enjoying sex as a spiritual practice

Individuals can benefit from learning new ways to improve their sex lives, challenge any emotional blocks and build a healthier relationship with their sexuality. 

Couples with an otherwise positive relationship can benefit from sex therapy coaching by throwing out unhelpful or incorrect beliefs about what is ‘normal’ and start afresh, learning to co-create sexual intimacy to boost connection and pleasure.   

Please note, having sessions with a partner requires you to be able to discuss and explore your differences openly and respectfully.  You will need to be vulnerable and caring with each other during a process of finding new approaches for your sex life and relationship in general.  In some cases, couples counselling is more appropriate in order to build these skills and emotional safety first.
