Gain insight and clarity about your sexuality and create a quality sex life.

At the LoveLife Clinic, we believe our sexuality is a fundamental part of being human, and its authentic expression is essential to happiness and well-being in love and life.

It's an area of life though that can be pretty confusing to resolve and improve on your own, so it really is essential to get help from true specialists. At the LoveLife Clinic, we are those sex experts who can help you.

Our Principal, Jacqueline Hellyer, and her associates, Alain Moulay and Leslie Scholl, have studied and trained to the highest levels to become accredited Psychosexual Therapists/Clinical Sexologists in order to support you to truly gain clarity around your sexuality, individually or as a couple.

You’ll find that talking to us is a liberating experience. We do not need to judge or assess you; our only agenda is to enable you to transform and grow.

Sex Therapy for Couples and Individuals

The LoveLife Clinic approach

We take a holistic, integrated approach to sex therapy. One that is transpersonal, psychobiological, somatic and positive psychological coaching-based:

  • Transpersonal therapy addresses the whole person: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual;
  • Psychobiological therapy utilises neuroscience, language and biological processes to aid in change;
  • Somatic therapy enables you to go beyond your mind and feel into your body (note that this is touch-free therapy);
  • Positive psychology focuses on your strengths rather dysfunctions;
  • Coaching is client-centred, solution-focused and dynamic.

When applied to this fundamentally important part of life sex therapy allows you to find real meaning and fulfilment in your relationships, your sexuality and your life.

How sex therapy can help you

For couples in particular, unlike most relationship counsellors, we deal with the sexual side of things. Given how important sex is in a relationship, we believe it is ineffective not to address it, and strongly believe it’s why an integrated approach is so effective to helping people in all aspects of their relationship.

Whether single or partnered, our sexuality is at the core of being human. Quality sex is an extraordinary thing, and one that has a hugely positive effect on us physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. By addressing your sexual issues, you’ll find that the whole of life improves.

The clinic is LGBTQIA positive and we welcome clients of all sexual orientations and preferences.

The sex therapy process we’ll guide you through

While the process will differ depending on your particular situation, essentially, the approach we’ll take is to help you:

  • Figure out how you would like your sex life to be;
  • Work out what changes you need to make in your thinking, behaviour and life-style to enable that to happen;
  • Assist you to make those changes;
  • Along the way, bust a lot of myths, give you real information and education, provide a lot of guidance and strategy;
  • And overall, enable transformation at all levels of your being.

The sex therapy sessions can be surprisingly enjoyable and freeing. The best things in life are fun, and sex is undoubtedly one of the best things in life, so we’ll talk, we’ll laugh and we’ll lighten you up about the whole sex thing. At the same time we’ll look at you, your relationships and your life.

The most common comment clients say at the end of their first session is: "What a relief!" and "I wish I/we’d come to you a lot sooner!"
