Are you experiencing barriers to sexual well-being or facing unique challenges or concerns related to sexuality?
Sexuality is a deeply personal and multifaceted aspect of human life, and it can vary widely from person to person. It is influenced by a combination of biological factors (such as hormones and genetics), psychological factors (such as thoughts, feelings, and experiences), and social factors (such as cultural norms, values, and relationships). It is essential to approach sexuality with openness, respect, and understanding, recognizing that each person’s experience and expression of their sexuality is unique and valid.
Our specialities include
Telehealth option available! Ideal for those in remote areas, with busy schedules, or facing government restrictions.
An Occupational Therapist (OT) can assist individuals in sexuality services by providing tailored interventions to address specific challenges and goals related to intimacy and relationships. For example, an OT might work with a client who has a physical disability to explore and adapt different positions or techniques for sexual activity that are comfortable and accessible. They may also provide education and resources on using adaptive equipment or assistive devices to enhance sexual experiences and overcome physical limitations.
Additionally, an OT can help clients develop strategies to improve body awareness, sensory integration, and self-esteem, which are essential for building confidence and enhancing intimacy. They may use therapeutic techniques, such as mindfulness, relaxation exercises, and cognitive-behavioural strategies, to address issues like performance anxiety, body image concerns, or communication difficulties within relationships.
Furthermore, an OT can collaborate with clients to identify meaningful activities and routines that incorporate sexuality into daily life, promoting a holistic approach to sexual health and well-being. By addressing the functional aspects of sexuality and relationships, Occupational Therapists empower clients to engage in fulfilling and satisfying sexual experiences that contribute to their overall quality of life.
