Sex TherapySex is a simple word for an extremely complex variety of desires. It cuts to the core of our desires, our passions, our emotions, our feeling, our wants and our dreams. It is when it goes wrong that it can be harmful and damaging in our relationships and our lives.
I offer sex therapy to individuals presenting with a wide range of emotional and sexual intimacy difficulties. I have a particular interest in working with people who have sexuality concerns such as sex addiction, porn addiction, atypical sexual practices, loss of interest in sex (low desire), low sex drive, erectile problems, (OCSB) problems (including pornography addiction/compulsion), at risk sexual behaviours, diversity of sexual practice, sexual functioning and sexual identity or orientation, and gender dysphoria. My practice also includes working with individuals rebuilding their lives after recovering from sexual abuse, traumatic experiences, complex trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My focus is on an authentic and conscious presence. I am practical, and I often use humour. I draw on a variety of counselling modalities to assist clients to engage consciously and authentically to themselves as well as to others.  |

Testimonials“I met Louise on the back of a dramatic and emotional revelation to my wife about my addiction to internet porn. Since then Louise has guided me through understanding the causes my habit, working with my thoughts, feelings and emotions. She has enabled me to learn about how the brain works, and its enormous power to rewire, relearn and ultimately repair. She has helped me uncover the most hurtful things that have happened to me in my past and understand the damage that this has done to me. She has put me on a path to healing myself for me, for my wife, for our relationship and for our children. She has given me hope when it felt that there was no hope. Louise has a flexible roadmap, is a great expert, and can reach out to give support when it is most needed; however you should expect to work hard for you to help your own recovery. Louise will give you hope and your own route to freedom and restoration, but ultimately you must decide to walk down the path yourself. I strongly recommend that you do”.This video from TV3 is a nice educative summary of how porn use can become addictive and actually change your brain

Is Sex Therapy for You?Couples have such busy lives today that they often find it challenging to fit sex into their hectic schedules. For these couples it is perfectly normal to go through long periods without any lovemaking. They might not be in the mood, or they might be too tired.It is, however, if you experience the lack of sexual desire for physical or emotional reasons that sex therapy could be helpful or beneficial for you. Although it is not easy for many people to discuss the most intimate sex concerns or issues with a health professional, it has become more socially acceptable today to seek help or treatment for sexually related issues. |
What is Sex Therapy?Nothing of a physical or sexual nature transpires in the sex therapy consultation. Sex therapy is exclusively talk therapy and does not involve any physical contact at all (this is different from the therapy offered by sexual surrogates who can involve physical contact as a recognized aspect of the therapy that they offer). |
