Non-pathologising
We take a non medical, non treatment based approach to care. We're not here to diagnose you with a disorder. We take a systems perspective and recognise that often sexual concerns arise in response to social ideas of the normal/abnormal binary and other types of oppression. With care, accurate education and ongoing support, you can learn skills, build awareness and have more choice to navigate sexual concerns in a different way. You are not broken so you don’t need to be fixed.
-

Centering Pleasure
We focus on supporting you to better understand what kind of relationship you want with pleasure, what's in the way of that and what you can do to experience more (if you want to). We recognise that pleasure is central to physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and interpersonal wellbeing yet recognise the pleasure disparity and the ways that pleasure is political.
-

Inclusive lens
We are shame and judgement free in our approach. We go to the core of the issue and try to understand the intersecting factors contributing to the reasons you're seeking support. We are affirming to LGBTQIA+, sex workers, disabled and neurodivergent people, people in larger bodies and fat folks, Aboriginal, Black and Brown people. We work with all types of relationships.
