Why seek sexology counseling?
It’s completely normal to have questions or go through experiences that lead us to seek support. Sexology provides a safe space to explore these concerns. Here are some reasons why you might consider a consultation in sexology as part of a supportive counseling process:
Personal Relationship
The relationships we have with others—whether in a couple, during dating, or within a polycule—can bring joy but also present challenges. In sexology, we explore the dynamics unique to each relational configuration to better understand your interactions, improve communication, and foster healthier, more fulfilling connections.
Sexual Exploration
Exploring your sexuality is a personal journey where it’s essential to understand and accept your desires, including your kinks and fantasies. In sexology, we provide a non-judgmental space to safely explore these aspects. Together, we will discuss your desires and boundaries, and how to integrate your kinks into your sex life in a healthy and consensual way, respecting your values and those of your partners.
Sexuality
We all have preconceived notions about sexuality, often influenced by the media, our surroundings, or pornography. These perceptions can affect our desires, motivations, and relationship with sexuality. Difficult experiences can also lead to dissatisfaction and even cause us to avoid it. Sexology can help you develop strategies to improve your sex life and deepen your sexual education, allowing you to experience a more fulfilling and authentic sexuality.
Self-Esteem /
Body Image
Preconceived notions about self-esteem and body image, shaped by societal standards and media, can impact how we view ourselves and our relationships. Negative body image and low self-esteem can lead to feelings of inadequacy. Sexology can help you develop a more positive self-image and foster self-acceptance, leading to a healthier and more confident approach to your sexuality and relationships.
Parenting and Children's Sexual Education
Parenting includes addressing your children's sexual education, a delicate but essential part of their development. Discussing sexuality with your children can bring up challenges or concerns. Sexology can guide you in responding appropriately and openly to your children's questions, providing them with a healthy sexual education, and creating an environment where they feel safe to talk about their bodies and emotions.
Gender Identity / Sexual Orientation
Sexual and orientation diversity encompasses a wide range of identities, gender expressions, and attractions. These differences can sometimes lead to questions or challenges related to self-acceptance and acceptance by others. Sexology can support you in exploring and affirming your sexual orientation and identity, while helping you navigate relationships and experiences related to your sexuality, so you can fully and confidently embrace your diversity.
Parenting and Problematic Sexual Behaviors (PSB)
As a parent, it can be challenging to know how to respond to problematic sexual behaviors in children or adolescents. These situations can cause worry and uncertainty. In sexology, you will find a supportive space to explore these behaviors and understand their origins. Together, we will discuss appropriate strategies to guide and manage these behaviors while ensuring a safe and respectful environment for the child or adolescent.
Sexual Health
Sexual health is a crucial aspect of your overall well-being, encompassing the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, contraception, fertility, and safe sexual practices. Concerns related to sexual health can impact your confidence and quality of life. Sexology can help you better understand these issues, adopt protective behaviors, and make informed decisions to maintain a healthy and fulfilling sexual life.
Sexual Violence
Experiencing sexual violence can lead to deep emotions and raise complex questions. In sexology, you will find a compassionate space where you can talk about your experiences without judgment. Together, we will work to understand the impact of these experiences on your sexuality and explore ways to reconnect with your sexual well-being, all while respecting your pace and needs.
