Sexual Counselling

Sex-related issues are broad and at times very complex, and require very specific training. Having initially trained in Sydney more than 25 years ago with the Australian Society of Sexual Educators, Researchers, & Therapists (ASSERT), Ruth Simons has also attended numerous seminars and workshops to broaden and build her skill set in the area of sex therapy. Ruth has been a member of the Society of Australian Sexologists (SAS) for approximately 15 years, and over many years of clinical practice she has developed a broad range of expertise covering a wide spectrum of sex-related issues affecting men, women, and teenagers.

Many people need sexual education in spite of age and many people still refuse to talk about the subject in an open and objective way. It's common for many people fear talking to a sex therapist. The best sex, the best relationships start with communication. Therefore Ruth counsels people in a relaxed setting and bring humour, objective explanations about their issues and empathy to all sessions. Clients are encouraged to talk about sex objectively and honestly not only to Ruth, but to their partners. By communicating their fears and their needs many sexual problems are solved.
