Sexual Dysfunction & Sexual Pain

Book Free 15 Minute Connection Call

Sexual pain and dysfunction can look different for everyone. It may be pain with penetration, involuntary tightening of the pelvic muscles, reduced arousal and lubrication, difficulty reaching orgasm, feeling numb or detached during intimacy, or sex that simply doesn’t feel pleasurable.

These challenges may be your body’s way of protecting you, because pain is protective. Together, we can explore what your body is trying to tell you and find ways to move toward comfort, safety and pleasure. Because of my clinical background as an Occupational Therapist, am able to work alongside GPs, Pelvic Floor Physiotherapists, and Gynaecologists to ensure your care is holistic and part of a broader multidisciplinary approach.

Your First Appointment

If you’re ready to begin, our first step is a chance to slow down, create safety together and get clear on what you’d like support with. Before we meet, I’ll send you a short questionnaire so I can understand your story in relation to sexual pain/dysfunction. This helps me prepare resources that are most relevant to you.

In our first session, we’ll talk through what is happening with your body/pelvis/genitals and the areas you’d like to see change, whether that’s pain with intimacy, difficulty with arousal or challenges around orgasm and pleasure. Together, we’ll set some clear goals and you’ll receive somatic practices to start incorporating in your life.

You’re welcome to book sessions one at a time, or we can look at a package if you’d like more ongoing, structured support.

How long are sessions?

An initial appointment is 1.5 hours, giving us the space to gather important background information and begin exploring your goals.

Follow-up appointments can be either 1 hour or 1.5 hours, depending on what feels most supportive for you at the time.

Where do sessions happen?

Most of my work happens online, which makes it easy to access support from your own space. I also offer face-to-face sessions on the Sunshine Coast upon request.
