As Dr. Emily Nagowski suggests, in relationships, you don’t need to desire your partner passionately; rather, it’s essential to like them, admire them, and believe they are worth the effort.
Unfortunately, there are no Medicare rebates or GP Mental Health Care Plans currently available for individual counselling, psychosexual therapy, and relational counselling services. However, a rebate may be available through your private health insurance, so please check with your provider to see if a claim can be made for these services.

Telehealth services may be available for psychosexual therapy, or relational counselling with prior negotiation for existing clients, or if access or travel distance is an issue.
Appointments that are cancelled or rescheduled between 24 and 48 hours before your appointment time will incur a $50 late cancellation fee. Cancelled appointments within 24 hours or non attendance will not receive a refund for the cost of the appointment, and no subsequent appointment will be offered if payment is not received. Life can present unexpected challenges, and in some cases, payment due to last-minute cancellation may be waived at my discretion.
Payment is required before the appointment via bank transfer, with details available on the invoice.
After the initial appointment, you can book further sessions via a secure and confidential online portal.

Self-referral is very welcome for those seeking individual counselling, psychosexual therapy, or relational counselling. Please contact me with a few lines about what you will be bringing to the session, and we may also have an initial 10-minute phone call to establish if this is the right place for you.
Sexual well-being can be influenced by physiological changes, medical treatments, surgeries, and different life stages. Understanding your health and medication information is essential for an accurate assessment and to gain insight into your situation. With your permission, your GP or specialist can share this information with me via the contact link or my email address.
It is crucial to apply strict ethical and legal standards to protect client confidentiality, particularly in the context of individual counselling and psychosexual therapy. I adhere to the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and the codes of ethics established by the AASW and SAS.
I ensure:
- Secure, encrypted record-keeping
- Private and confidential sessions, whether in-person or through telehealth services
- Clear informed consent processes
- No sharing of information without written consent, unless legally required (e.g. risk of harm)
Your privacy is always respected and protected .
In this era of information overload, I have made a conscious choice not to promote my therapy service on social media or with regular posting. There are so many knowledgeable sexologists with blogs and social media postings, so please feel free to explore them and use my therapy space as a confidential place to discuss your thoughts and findings.
If you have discovered this site then you are a unique person at, the start of a journey which is for you to continue- I have trust you will make that decision for yourself.
I will not be sending you information unless it is in relation to intake, appointments or specific follow-up as consented by you.
