Sex and intimacy are prime issues for many people, and are one of the main reasons that people seek counselling. Intimacy in a relationship means being able to share a spectrum of thoughts, feelings and experiences. Difficulties in achieving intimacy can result from lack of communication, financial difficulty, family pressure, bad childhood experiences and other traumas. This is a vital, yet often hard to deal with topic. Come along and find out more about ways of helping the people that will come to us to seek help with their relationships.

Topics to be considered

• Client Assessment around sexual problems
• Working with couples and individuals around sexual problems
• Role of gender of the counsellor
• Role of intimacy, sex and sexuality in relationships
• Gender differences and similarities in intimate and sexual interactions
