Female Sexual Dysfunction: Caring beyond the physical

Female Sexual Dysfunction: Caring beyond the physical

Join me for an online event breaking the silence on a sensitive topic - female sexual dysfunctions and their impact on sexual health.

Sex is more a psychological act than a physical act and female sexual dysfunctions lead to reduced sexual interest and relationship satisfaction, and arousal issues requiring both physical and psychological adjustments to re-engage with intimacy.

Sexual health plays an important role on overall health and wellbeing. When women attend your clinic regarding support for pelvic health concerns they are not turning up on a whim. She’s nervous, embarrassed and has taken time to finally reach out and seek answers.

Honing your counselling skills you can give her more answers than you thought possible before.

This session is about:
