The Sexual Counselling Clinic accepts women and their partners only. The clinic is staffed by doctors who are trained in sexual counselling.
|
The consultation is free and lasts 45 minutes. Women who self refer are initially assessed by the women's health nurse practitioner and then referred to counselling or other appropriate agencies.
Sessions can vary from one or two to extended bouts of two or three months. Some common concerns may be:
|
- no or painful penetration
- no or low desire for sex
- problems with orgasm.
|
|
These concerns may arise from:
|
- pregnancy or birth
- surgery of the breast, vulva, uterus and cervix
- sexual abuse issues
- relationship problems.
