Sexual Wellness Counselling
Sexual Wellness Counselling focuses on working with a client’s sexuality as a whole and how it may be impacting their lives, including in the bedroom. We heal, learn and explore the aspects of sexual wellness by play, sensuality, sexuality and exploration.
A healthy sex life is a wonderful thing. Having a balanced sex life brings joy to the individual (and partner) and enhances all other areas of your life such as emotional, physical, mental and general wellbeing.
Seeking counselling for sexual issues can sometimes be an awkward and difficult process. Many individuals can struggle with shame, guilt, or fear around the area of sexuality. Often these feelings can feed secrecy and keep them at a place where they don’t feel deserving of a joyful life. These feelings may be due to a variety of reasons, and understanding them and knowing how to deal with them is very important. Gaina’s approach in providing counselling is to explore the concerns regarding sexuality that meet an individual’s needs, while still being in alignment with their personal value system.
The counselling session may focus on any of the following areas:
- Relationship with oneself and others
- Lack of intimacy
