Sexuality & Sexual Health Counselling

Rediscover confidence and balance in your sexuality and sexual health. At Leia Shay Counselling, we provide a safe, supportive space where individuals and couples can explore their sexuality and address sexual health concerns. Whether you’re facing intimacy challenges, sexual health issues, or simply looking for guidance in this important aspect of your life, we are here to help.

Why Sexuality & Sexual Health Matter

Sexuality and sexual health are vital aspects of overall well-being. However, societal pressures, shame, and lack of knowledge often prevent people from seeking help when challenges arise. Issues like low libido, discomfort during sexual activity, or confusion about sexual identity can cause significant emotional distress.

At Leia Shay Counselling, we provide compassionate, non-judgmental support to help you explore these concerns and work toward a healthier, more fulfilling sexual life.
