Frequently Asked Questions

Sex coaching is practical and forward-focused - it helps you build skills, confidence and communication around pleasure, desire and intimacy. Sex therapy sits within a mental-health framework and focuses on supporting you to develop insight and skills. Both coaching and counselling aim to provide a safe space, and use a talk-based approach to addressing sexual desires and challenges, intimacy issues, and relationship concerns.

Right now, I offer sex & intimacy coaching with my current qualifications as a certified Integrative Sex Coach and Somatic Sex Educator. I'm currently completing further study to become a qualified sex therapist - once that's complete, I'll be able to offer sex therapy alongside coaching. If you're not sure which is right for you, book a free chat and we can talk it through.

Absolutely. It's completely normal to feel curious and nervous at the same time - especially when it comes to talking about something as personal as your sexuality or relationships.

My priority is creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and never pressured. We'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and you only need to share what you're ready to share.

If you'd like to get a feel for whether we're a good fit, you're welcome to book a complimentary consultation or start with a single session before deciding whether you'd like to continue.

I work with women and people with vulvas who are exploring their relationship with pleasure, intimacy and sexuality (I haven't received training in cis-male sexual health). Whilst I don't currently work with couples, I can support you with your relationship and offer tools and practices to try with a partner. I have a background in working with diverse relationship structures. My space is queer-affirming, trans-friendly and neurodivergent-aware, and I have an extensive experience in supporting people navigating chronic illness, burnout and the mainstream medical model.

I am unable to work with:

❧ Family counselling or relationship breakdown, conflict or infidelity

❧ Acute mental health crisis situations

If you are unsure whether your situation falls within my scope, please Get in touch before booking.

Currently I work with individuals only. Whilst I don't work with couples at this time, I can support you with your relationship and offer tools and practices to try with a partner.

Yes - sessions are available online and internationally via secure video call for anyone around the world. In-person sessions can be arranged near Blackwood, South Australia.

Sessions are client-led and tailored to your goals. We start by getting a clear picture of your challenge or desire, then work at a pace that feels comfortable - combining conversation, education, and gentle embodiment or somatic practices if it suits you. I work to help you make the shifts you're seeking by providing tailored support and resources.

This modality is holistic, trauma-informed, integrative, somatic and underpinned by medical science and sexology. Sessions can be a combination of conversation, education, somatic exploration, self enquiry and practical recommendations. These sessions are offered fully clothed, on zoom.

Embodiment practices and processes might be guided in a session, but these are non-sexual in nature. You may be given genital touch or self-pleasure-related practices as ideas for home practice. There's a strong focus on offering you practical tools, resources recommendations and practices to explore further.

Sessions are followed up with a detailed summary and any additional resources or practices to support your continued growth.

Sexuality has long been shaped by stigma, taboo, and silence, so it's common to feel uncertain about the right words or how to describe your experiences. For this reason I have added some extra examples below.

Common themes I work with include:

• Low libido, desire and arousal
• Body confidence and shame
• Mismatched desire and intimacy with a partner
• Nervous system regulation, burnout and disconnection
• Pleasure anatomy, communication and consent
• Reconnecting with your body after a difficult chapter

Common client aims include:

• ❤️ Own your self-confidence & trust yourself deeply
• 🩷 Break free from limiting stories & reclaim your worth
• 🧡 Activate your inner resources & build lasting nervous system resilience
• 💛 Release shame & outdated sexual conditioning
• 💚 Embrace your evolving sexuality through transitions like motherhood, menopause, or gender transition
• 💙 Awaken your full pleasure potential & release what holds you back
• 🩵 Fall in love with your body & radiate unshakable confidence
• 💜 Understand your desire & arousal so you can fully own your sexual expression
• 🤎 Build thriving relationships with healthy communication
• 🩶 Bridge desire gaps in partnerships with compassion and clarity

If what you're navigating isn't listed here, get in touch - chances are it's still something we can work with or I can help you get in touch with someone who can.

Whilst meaningful change can sometimes happen in just one session, sexual wellbeing, relationships, and intimacy are complex, lasting change comes from effective learning, support and practice - which can take time. That said - my aim is to empower you with the tools, insight, and practical strategies to build lasting sexual wellbeing and fulfilling intimacy. Whilst my work efficiently sets clients up for long-term success, the clients who make the most progress are those who engage fully in the process.

Success, to me, is when you no longer need my support because you have the confidence and skills to thrive on your own. It all depends on your unique journey and goals, some clients only need one or two sessions, while others have the capacity or desire for deeper work over 10-15 sessions.

Note; It's completely natural to feel hesitant discussing such personal topics with someone you've just met. Building comfort and connection is an important part of the process, which is why many people find it takes a few sessions before they feel fully comfortable opening up. As that comfort grows, so too does the opportunity for deeper insight, meaningful growth, and lasting change.

No. Sex coaching is a bottom-up talk-based therapeutic service. Sessions involve conversation, education, and evidence-based embodied and somatic exercises - there is no physical or sexual contact between practitioner and client and clothing remains on.

Your privacy is very important to us. What's shared in our sessions stays between us. There are a small number of legal exceptions around safety, which I'll walk you through clearly before we begin working together - so you always know exactly where you stand.

I understand that discussing intimate and personal experiences takes courage, and creating a safe, confidential space is a fundamental part of my practice. Your privacy is treated with the utmost care in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Yes, wholeheartedly. This is a queer-affirming, trans-friendly space, welcoming people of all genders, sexualities, and relationship structures- including ethical non-monogamy and alternative relationship models

Yes. I hold particular care for people navigating chronic health conditions and neurodivergence, blending an understanding of the medical system with an accessible approach. Everyone deserves a relationship with their sexuality - whatever that looks like for them. Sessions are trauma-informed and paced to your needs. All tools and practices that I recommend can be altered, and we can work collaboratively to determine what suits your individual capacity and physical requirements.

Current session prices for each service option can be viewed on the bookings page.

Yes, payment plans aer available for packages. Simply mention your desire for a payment plan at any stage during or after the free call so I can set it up.

As a sex coach, my services aren't eligible for Medicare rebates.

In October 2026 I will be qualified and set up to support NDIS participants. A one-time $25 administration fee applies to new NDIS clients to secure your initial appointment and is not covered by NDIS funding. Please include your NDIS and plan manager details in your intake form.

NDIS Item: 15_043_0128_1_3 (Assessment, Recommendation, Therapy or Training - Counsellor)

In October 2026 I will be set up to accept private health insurance claims. As a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), I will be recognised by private health insurance providers, with rebates available through Medibank, HCF, AHM, Bupa & ARHG among others.

If you can't make an appointment and need to reschedule thats no problem - but we need at least 48 hours notice. You can rearrange a new time within the next 90 days from the date of the original session at no extra cost. Please note if you cancel or reschedule within 48 hours, the full session fee will apply.

You can reschedule via email (hello@terrarosacollective.com) or via the reschedule button in the email booking confirmation.

For the best outcomes, sessions are recommended on a regular schedule to maintain momentum and continuity. That said, life happens. Packages can be completed over a timeframe of up to twice their recommended duration, and longer pauses can be arranged on request where extenuating circumstances arise.
