How intimacy counselling at our Elsternwick can help couples

Sometimes, couples may find differences between their intimacy styles and sexual desires. Your Psychologist offers sexual desire counselling to Elsternwick couples hoping to reconcile their differences and enjoy a healthier relationship.

Many couples struggle to communicate their desires, or are unsure about their own needs. Counselling can help you better express your needs and interests, giving you the tools necessary to work on your love life with your partner.

Often, it is important to establish intimacy in a non-sexual way first in order to build trust. Counselling may involve beginning to express intimacy in non-sexual ways, and re-learn how to connect with intimate feelings.

If you otherwise suffer from low libido, it might be worth exploring whether this could be due to outside factors like stress, anxiety or depression. Other times, intimacy issues could be due to an individual’s underlying fears or repressed emotions. These may relate to abuse in their past, a fear of abandonment, or any number of other personal schema. In such cases, it is possible to seek individual counselling if you are looking to unpack personal issues you may have around sex, intimacy and vulnerability.
