What We Do

Do you feel tired about your relationship or do you feel like it has lost its spark?
Yet, healthy intimacy seems difficult to talk about, don’t you think?
When it's hard to connect with your partner, who can you approach?
If you agree that information regarding intimacy and connection should be easily accessible, then this support group is for you.

Maybe you’re thinking,

Why?

Why are we so dedicated towards improving intimate health and women’s mindset surrounding it?

Many women don’t realise the unhealthy biases in the way of establishing sexual wellness in their relationships:

1

Secrecy

Society's secrecy towards sexuality isolates experiences, making healthy habits hard to learn

2

Inexperience

Inexperience causing confusion and lack of confidence

3

Guilt

Guilt created by societal secrecy and religion

4

Stigma

Stigma regarding sexuality being impure

5

Shame

Shame regarding our intimate needs and expression

How can we overcome these biases?

As a consequence of these biases, you may find yourself struggling to connect with your partner.
Most make the mistake of not reflecting on these feelings, creating confusion within themselves and their relationship.

However, this isn’t your fault!
With all the obstacles in the way of understanding healthy intimacy, a lot of people fall into this trap - and some never leave.

Counselling for All will make sure you can overcome these difficulties

We are taking steps towards building a society that normalizes intimacy, and we envision women growing in self-appreciation and confidence as they age,


Join us in making this positive change and learn how to love your sexual self!

Maybe you're thinking...

"Is it okay to discuss something so private with people I don't know well?"

We hear you.

When it's hard to connect with your partner, it's a great idea to go towards your closest friends.

However...

  • Cherished friends you feel safe with are a rarity, making it hard to reach out when they are busy.
  • Your friends may not view intimacy in the same way
  • They may not understand because they have not experienced the same situation.
  • You may be worried that your friends would judge your partner.

The Sexual Wellness Support Group can help you gain more guidance along with your trusted friends’ advice.

Through a trained sexual wellness therapist:

Discover what sexual wellness means for you,

use effective language to express your needs,

feel comfort learning with a community of like-minded women...

...and potentially meet more safe and trustworthy friends!

FAQs

Do I need to share right away?

Not at all! You can choose to do whatever you feel comfortable with.

Our expert facilitators will make sure the support group is a positive and safe experience for you.

Do I need to turn on my camera?

Yes. It feels more comfortable to share when we all see each other.


Can I connect with other participants on the platform or outside?

Absolutely! We highly encourage participants to connect with each other through one-on-one chat and share contact details if they feel comfortable. Many of our participants meet outside the weekly meetings and have formed life-long friendships!


Do I need to engage with other participants outside of the sessions?

It’s totally up to you. You may decide how and where you engage with the other participants outside of the weekly meetings.

Research evidence indicates that support groups create more impactful positive changes when participants engage with each other and combine their various insights, perspectives and learned wisdom.


Will the facilitators be available for individual calls if difficulties come up and I need to speak with someone?

We encourage you to let us know you would like to speak with someone through the Sexual Wellness Support Group platform’s chat function. You will receive useful perspectives and encouragement from your fellow support group participants while gaining insight from the expertise of the facilitators.

The facilitators are not available for phone calls. If you need further individual support, we recommend exploring professional counselling services. Please see the Q&A below for more information.

What if I need more than what the Sexual Wellness Support Group community offers?

The Sexual Wellness Support Group is not a replacement for professional counselling services. If you feel that you need more individual support, counselling could be helpful for you.

You can reach out to Mobina Hasan at Admin@CounsellingForAll.org for a referral to a counsellor that specializes in working with other counsellors.


How will you protect my personal information?

The Sexual Wellness Support Group is a safe space for you and your information. We have measures in place to prevent doxxing and keep important data confidential. Support group participants are encouraged and regularly reminded to refrain from sharing personal information.

What are you waiting for?

Learn to love your sexual self!
