LGBTQIA+ counselling benefits for a happy relationship

Are you in Sydney and having issues with your sex life? We can help.

Intimacy and sex are about so many thingslove, fun, eroticism, lust, connection, pleasure, vulnerability and surrender. In the early days of a relationship, it’s natural to experience an overwhelming amount of chemistry and passion for each other. Just their touch or the sound of their voice can make your skin tingle.

But when this initial rush of chemistry starts to be replaced by the more comfortable feelings of security and contentment, sexual issues may start to arise. The desire and passion can begin to dissipate. The paradox of sex is that when it is satisfying, sex plays a small but positive role in your relationship (about 15 – 20%). BUT when sex is unsatisfying, avoided or a problem, it plays a very destructive role in your relationship (from 50 to 75%).

If you’re experiencing sexual issues in your relationship or marriage, it’s not too late to find help.

Whether we’d like to admit it or not, the partner with the least desire for sex always controls the frequency and quality of sex. Given sufficient attention, couples can bring the passion and excitement back into both the bedroom, and the relationship.

Great sex and lovemaking can be the glue that keeps you feeling deeply and physically connected with each other, enabling you to weather many storms in your relationship and life in general. But sex and intimacy issues are becoming more common for couples.  We have specialist Sex therapists in Sydney.

If you’re struggling with intimacy or sexual issues in your relationship, you’re not alone. Help is available. Just some of the sexual issues we can help with are:

Can sexual issues be fixed?

The short answer is yes! If intimacy or sexual issues are coming up in your relationship, you may be wondering what can be done to help? Rest assured there are many avenues that can be taken to help sexual issues such as low libido, different libidos, difficulty orgasming, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, porn addiction, and maintaining desire.

Sexual problems are common

Many couples (some experts estimate about 45%) have concerns or problems with sexual desire, arousal, orgasm or sexual satisfaction. Sex problems are rarely simple – there is not one cure-all available. They are a result of psychological, physical and relationship factors and can cause great emotional suffering and distress.

Even though sex is a common topic for jokes in many social conversations, most couples don’t really talk much about what they like and don’t like with each other, nor are most people educated on how to have a great and healthy sex life.

Often it is assumed that once you have been together for a period, that the fun and quality of your sex life naturally diminishes, but research has shown that this is not the case, and that the best sex can actually  happen in couples who have been in a committed relationship for 15 years or longer.

Kudos to Brigette for having a great impact on saving our marriage from the verge of separation. With her counselling, our relationship becomes more intact, improving our daily lives and mental health. The stability that we currently have in our relationship is the result of her counselling. Our marriage will be like this with your help. Thank you Brigette!

JA

I was worried about being judged upon booking, making the first step is always uneasy. I was greeted with care and compassion and felt well heard by staff. Easy, simple and fast process. Thank you.

Lisa

After me and my partner had a session with Julian, I was so happy. My partner and I had attachment problems such as seeking attention with each other and always wanted to have time each other other. Julian helped us in so many ways that I was so thankful for because me and my partner today have been better than before. Thank you Julian for your help!

Chris

I didn’t know how much my withdrawing was creating such a communication problem in our relationship. I have always blamed Karen’s arguing. Thank you for your unbiased help and advice. So good to know before we start having kids and things really start stressing us out.

Alan & Karen

My connection with my wife had become distant, which has led to a tense situation in our marriage, which was dangerously close to failing. Participating in Naomi’s sessions was the catalyst that opened our eyes to the fact that we never wanted to be apart from each other and instead desired to be together. It not only helped to save our marriage but also brought the passion back into our relationship.

JG

As our marriage was on the brink of falling out for one another, we decided to book Andy. With her help day by day, she has been giving us constant guidance through our dilemma. And here we are, open and accepting our differences. We are so blessed to have Andy as our therapist. Thank you so much for saving our marriage!

HR

Julie. I can’t thank you enough. To be honest, I got dragged along by Fiona, and didn’t think we needed it, but it gave me a chance to bring up some things that had been really bothering me, and now they are almost sorted. I would never have thought it could have been so productive. Thanks again.

Joshua & Fiona

Very easy to book and the lady who answered was very helpful, not an easy call to make but she made it feel comfortable and easy.

B

Well, your questions certainly created a few heated discussions that we hadn’t had before. But I guess it’s better out than in. Because of our discussions, we know now where our hot spots are, and are working on them. Thanks for the insight. It may have taken us years to find them out.

Michelle & David

Friendly, efficient and easy to book and get the most appropriate therapist.

Thank you!
