Receiving an STI or HIV diagnosis, or experiencing ongoing concerns about sexual health, can affect much more than your physical health. It can bring anxiety, shame, uncertainty or worries about sex, relationships and how others may respond.

​

Therapy can provide a confidential and non-judgemental space to explore these experiences. You may want support adjusting to a diagnosis, talking to a partner about your sexual health, managing fears around transmission, navigating dating and relationships, or rebuilding sexual confidence following an experience that has changed how you feel about sex.

 

For people living with HIV, concerns around stigma, disclosure, relationships and intimacy can sometimes continue even when HIV is medically well managed. Therapy can offer a space to explore how HIV fits into your life and relationships, without allowing a diagnosis to define you.

 

I have experience working with people with a range of sexual health concerns and understand how closely sexual health can be connected with our sense of identity, confidence, intimacy and relationships. We can work together to understand what is happening for you and what you would like to change.
