We work from a psychosexual counselling framework.
This sits between medical care and traditional therapy, allowing time to understand your full context - not just symptoms.
Core Philosophy
We work collaboratively with clients and other health professionals and use evidence-informed approaches. Much like a detective, we take a careful, curious approach to exploring patterns, nervous system responses and lived experience, offering tailored resourcing and support.
How we work
Second Base offers boutique online counselling that is structured, collaborative and paced.
Sessions may involve:
– Psychosexual counselling
– Nervous system-informed support
– Psychoeducation and tailored resourcing
– Support with communication and relational dynamics
This service complements medical and allied health care where relevant.

This may include:
– Pain or discomfort during penetration
– Vaginismus or ongoing sexual pain
– Tension, fear or shutdown around intimacy
