    Why people choose us

    How we help you find the right clinician

    We have practices across Sydney, the coast and the Illawarra, and a full telehealth team. Our intake specialists know who works with what, and they will point you to the right person, whether that is near home, near work or online.

    Step 1

    A person answers the phone

    Call us weekdays between 9am and 6pm and one of our intake team picks up. They will ask what is going on and talk you through the options before you commit to anything.

    Step 2

    We match you to a clinician

    The fit between you and your therapist is the strongest thing we know of for making therapy work. We match on what you are facing, the approach you prefer, gender, language and how far you can travel.

    Step 3

    Your booking is scheduled

    We confirm your booking in writing so that you know when and where you’ll be meeting your new therapist.

    The guide

    Sex therapy is counselling for sexual issues

    Sex Therapy is a form of counselling where you are invited to openly talk about any sexual problems you may be experiencing. A Sex Therapist is specifically trained to help you address these issues. Many generalist relationship counsellors are also highly experienced and trained to work with sexual issues.

    sex issues in relationships

    Common sexual problems

    The following sexual issues are the most common which we help with:

    •    low libido (for both women and men)
    •    erectile dysfunction (not being able to get or keep an erection during sex)
    •    difficulty initiating sex
    •    fear or dislike of sexual intimacy
    •    premature ejaculation (coming sooner than you would like to)
    •    anorgasmia  (difficulty achieving orgasm)
    •    sexual difficulty caused by illness or disability
    •    dyspareunia (pain experienced during intercourse)
    •    sexual assault trauma
    •    choosing masturbation instead of making love to your partner
    •    compulsive sexual conduct or sex addiction

    Couples also often complain of:

    •    incompatible libido, where one partner wants more sex than the other, and
    •    different expectations about the role of sex in the relationship.

    Sexual problems are very common

    A study conducted in 2003 found that approximately 55 to 61% of Australian adults will experience some kind of sexual difficulty in any given year1. So if you or your partner are experiencing a sexual issue then you are not alone.

    But it is important to recognise the potential impact that an ongoing sexual concern can have on both your relationship, and on you own sense of identity and confidence. After all, sex is a pretty important part of adult life, and one that should be as robust, fulfilling and enjoyable as possible.

    This is where a sex therapist can help

    A qualified Sex Therapist will work with you, individually or together with your partner, to help you overcome your sexual issues. The idea of talking about your sex life will probably seem embarrassing at first, but you can feel assured that your Sex Therapist is a professional counsellor and will be highly skilled at calming your nerves, focusing your attention and assuring you of their confidence and respect.

    Your counsellor will listen to your complaints, and assess their nature. She may direct you to a medical practitioner to determine whether any of your complaints are physical in nature. Some sexual issues have underlying emotional causes which need to be identified and addressed before the sexual issue can be resolved.

    For example, it is common that one or both of you may be anxious in some way about having sex or about your sexual performance.

    Your Sex Therapist will help you:

    •    understand the underlying causes of your sexual issues,
    •    develop a clearer picture of your own sexual needs, and that of your partner
    •    create a plan to beat the problem and resume a healthy sex life
    •    deal with the emotional issues of your sexual difficulty.

    If you or your partner are suffering from sexual issues that are affecting your relationship or your own life satisfaction, contact us today. We can put you in touch with a professional relationship counsellor or sex therapist.

    Questions

    Questions about relationships

    Before you book

    Do I need a referral?

    No referral is needed to start. For Medicare rebates, ask your GP about a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Please speak to our team about your options.

    How soon can I get an appointment?

    Most new clients are seen within days, sooner by telehealth. Many of our practices offer early morning, evening and weekend appointments, and our intake team will find the times that suit you.

    Can I see someone in person or online?

    Yes, you can choose either. You can see a clinician at one of our practices across Sydney, the coast and the Illawarra, or by video from anywhere in Australia, and many clients switch between the two.

    What happens in the first session?

    Your clinician listens to what’s brought you in, asks about your goals, and agrees to a plan with you. There is never any pressure to share more than you’re ready to.

    What are the fees, and can I claim Medicare?

    Sessions run for 55 minutes, and the fee depends on who you see. Counsellors start from $150, social workers and psychologists from $200, and clinical psychologists from $230. With a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, a Medicare rebate may apply to sessions with a psychologist or a registered mental health social worker, so please speak to our staff about your options.

    Counselling Sydney is great if you want to save yourself hours of research finding a therapist that fits you best. They are super-efficient with their questioning and require minimal paperwork, yet I feel confident the counsellor they recommended to my wife and me is very suitable.

    Tobias D · April 2022
    ★★★★★

    My husband and I came across Counselling Sydney when doing our own research for a counsellor and thought we would give them a try. They are super-efficient both in their questioning and time management and we were booked into our first session within the week. The customer service team really goes above and beyond!

    Kathrin L · April 2022
    ★★★★★

    I don’t usually write reviews but I was so impressed with Counselling Sydney I had to. They took such great care of my husband and me and really made us feel calmer about this whole process during the phone call. I'm confident they will find us the right counsellor. Great effort!
