Counselling & Sex Education
Are you interested in engaging in informative discussions about sex prior to tying the knot?
Do you desire to cultivate a fulfilling and healthy sexual relationship within your marriage?
Have you considered the benefits of sex education before exchanging vows? Many couples enter marriage with limited knowledge about sexual health and find themselves navigating this aspect of their relationship with uncertainty. I get it because sex is vulnerable! You will definitely still ‘figure it out as you go,’ but why not enter marriage equipped with the knowledge, understanding, and skills to engage in constructive conversations about sex together?
I think it's crucial for couples to address expectations and challenge unhealthy attitudes about sex and relationships while also receiving education on sexual functioning and communication as a couple. Many couples undergo pre-marriage counselling sessions with their church or minister, such as PREPARE-ENRICH, to prepare for their marriage. I offer pre-marriage sex counselling sessions as a complement to these sessions, focusing specifically on sexual intimacy within marriage.
Set your marriage up for a win by receiving personalised couple's sex counselling and education from a professional sexologist.
During these counselling and educational sessions, couples will:
-
Explore personal beliefs, assumptions, and expectations regarding sex within marriage
-
Gain an understanding of sexual anatomy, the sexual response cycle, the neuroscience of sex, and sexual functioning and dysfunctions
-
Learn about sexual and intimate practices that foster arousal, pleasure, and intimacy in marriage
-
Set realistic expectations for the wedding night and honeymoon
-
Acquire skills for fostering healthy conversations about sexual intimacy
-
Discover strategies for building and maintaining satisfying sexual intimacy throughout their marriage
These sessions are available via online video consultations for couples across Australia.
Speaking
We are excited to talk about marriage together. We are celebrated by others when we ‘put a ring on it’. We are cheered on when we walk down the aisle. But what many engaged and newlywed couples are thinking is, ‘Can we please also talk about sex and intimacy?’ There is apprehension, excitement, anxiety, and high & often unrealistic expectations about sex. We have a lot going through our minds, yet we don’t know how to have these conversations with our spouses. I mean, is it really something we should talk about? Shouldn’t it ‘just happen’?
Right at the start of your marriage is the best time to lay a healthy foundation and gain helpful knowledge and practical skills on how to cultivate healthy sexual intimacy in marriage. It’s the best time to discuss how to create a mutually respectful, safe and satisfying sexual relationship together.
I cover this & much more in my sex and intimacy ed workshop for engaged & newlywed couples.
