What is a Sexologist?
As a sexologist I’m here to support people to work through any sexual health and relationship concerns they may be experiencing.
Sexologists are required to complete university level studies in the field of human sexuality and sexual behaviour. Sexologists usually work in at least one, if not all of the following areas: sexual education, sexual research and sexual therapy.
Due to my many years of study and experience in this field, I hold specialist skills and knowledge that can assist and support my clients to better understand their own sexuality, improve their sexual experiences and relationship with themselves and/or with others.
Why would you visit a Sexologist?
There are many reasons one might make an appointment to see a sexologist, this list highlights just some of them.
Welcome, and good on you for taking this first big step, looking up a sexologist can feel quite a daunting task. Many of you might be feeling a bit overwhelmed. It can feel awkward contacting a complete stranger to discuss what is often deemed a “private” or “taboo” topic. Please know that I have also experienced counselling and therapy before so I really worked to make this website as informative and also welcoming as possible. I aim to to do my very best to help you feel comfortable and safe in our sessions.
I look forward to working with you.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sexology
What is the difference between a sexologist and a sex therapist?
The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but a clinical sexologist has completed university-level studies specifically in human sexuality and sexual behaviour. I hold a Masters in Health Science (Sexual Health) from the University of Sydney. My approach integrates psychosexual education with evidence-based therapeutic techniques — addressing both the psychological and relational dimensions of sexual concerns.
Do I need a referral to see a sexologist?
No referral is needed. You can book directly through the website. Sessions are available for individuals, couples, throuples, families, and people in any relationship structure.
Is sexology covered by Medicare or private health insurance?
Sexology sessions are not currently covered by Medicare or a GP mental health care plan. NDIS participants may be able to use their funding if sexuality supports are included in their plan. I hope this will change in future.
What kinds of concerns can a sexologist help with?
A clinical sexologist can support you with a wide range of concerns — including sexual pain conditions (such as vaginismus), erectile concerns, anorgasmia, mismatched desire, the impact of neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, AuDHD) on relationships and intimacy, gender and sexual identity exploration, problematic pornography use, and relationship transitions. If you are unsure whether your concern falls within my areas of practice, feel free to reach out.
Is it normal to feel nervous about seeing a sexologist?
Completely. Most people feel a little nervous before their first session — sexuality is a topic our culture often treats as private or taboo. I’ve experienced counselling and therapy myself and work hard to create a space that is warm, non-judgmental, and safe. Many clients feel a sense of relief within the first few minutes of their session.
