Support for Exploring, Understanding, and Affirming Your Sexual Self

Sexuality is a rich and complex part of who you are, and yet many of us grow up with confusion, shame, or silence around it. Whether you’re exploring your sexual orientation, healing from sexual shame or trauma, or simply wanting to feel more connected to your sexual self, therapy can help.

At Four Wings Psychology, we provide inclusive, affirming sexuality counselling in Nepean and virtually across Ontario. We create a safe space to explore your identity, experiences, and questions with curiosity, not judgment.

Who Might Seek Therapy Around Sexuality?

There’s no “right reason” to explore sexuality in therapy. You might be:

  • Questioning or exploring your sexual orientation or labels
  • Feeling shame, confusion, or fear related to your sexual desires
  • Recovering from sexual trauma or coercion
  • Navigating cultural or religious messages around sex and intimacy
  • Wanting to build a healthier relationship with your body or sexual self
  • Experiencing low desire, anxiety, or disconnect in your sex life
  • Exploring kink, polyamory, or non-traditional relationship structures
  • Wanting to talk about sex openly, maybe for the first time

Whatever your story, we’re here to meet you with care and respect.

What We Explore in Sexuality Counselling

Therapy offers a space to reflect, challenge unhelpful narratives, and build deeper self-understanding. Together, we may explore:

  • Your personal values, boundaries, and desires
  • Internalized messages about “what’s normal” or “acceptable”
  • Emotional and relational patterns that impact your sexual expression
  • Safety, consent, and communication in intimate relationships
  • The impact of trauma or past experiences on sexuality
  • Reclaiming joy, confidence, and agency in your sexual identity

Our work is always client-led, sex-positive, trauma-informed, and identity-affirming.

Our Approach to Sexuality Counselling

At Four Wings Psychology, our therapists bring sensitivity and training in:

  • LGBTQ2S+ and queer-affirming care
  • Gender and sexual diversity
  • Sexual shame, trauma, and body image
  • Intersectionality – recognizing how race, culture, disability, faith, and gender shape sexual experiences
  • Working with adults, teens, and couples navigating sexual identity and intimacy

We use approaches such as Narrative TherapyACTCBT, and mindfulness-based practices, depending on your goals.
