Counselling sessions aim to develop knowledge and skills, enabling people to be independent and to make informed choices regarding their sexuality, sexual health and practices.

 

Sessions may be designed to be educational and help people to fill in the gaps of their sexuality education, or support people with more complex and intimate sexuality needs, including gender, sexuality orientation and sexual practices.

 

Counselling might support people who are vulnerable or people who have sexualised behaviours of concern and who need support with sexuality and the law. Counselling sessions, may also be for couples, who are looking for information and support to make choices together.

Counselling sessions are available via teleconferencing, if transport or distance is a barrier to service.
