Yes, absolutely. Shame around sexuality, desire, and relationship struggles is incredibly common, and it often keeps people stuck and suffering alone for much longer than necessary. Creating a space where you can talk openly, without judgment, is at the heart of my work.

You don't have to carry this alone. Support is available, and change is possible.

This varies for everyone. Some people find a few sessions helpful for addressing a specific concern; others benefit from longer-term work. We'll talk about this as we go and you always have a choice over how long you continue.

No, I'm not registered to provide services under Mental Health Care Plans, and Medicare rebates are not available for my services. Sessions are private fee-for-service.

If you want to seek support, but session fees are a barrier, come along to my women’s peer learning circles, free talks and workshops.

I ask for 24 hours notice for cancellations where possible.

For online sessions (paid at time of booking):

• Cancellations with 24+ hours notice receive a full refund

• Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice are not refundable, though I'm flexible in genuine emergencies

For in-person sessions (paid on the day):

• Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice or missed sessions may be charged at the full session fee, though I'm flexible in genuine emergencies

You can cancel or reschedule through the booking system or by contacting me directly on kylie@thembodiedpractice.com.au

You can book directly through my online booking system.

For online sessions: Payment is required at the time of booking via the online booking system.

For in-person sessions: Payment is due on the day of your session (cash, card, or bank transfer accepted).

I'll send a confirmation email and calendar invitation once your booking is complete.

The first session is a conversation. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, what you're hoping for, and how we might work together. It's also a chance for you to get a sense of whether this feels like the right fit for you.

It's completely normal to feel nervous or unsure what to say. There's no pressure to share more than feels comfortable, and we'll go at your pace.

Yes. Everything discussed in sessions is confidential, with a few legal exceptions (risk of harm to yourself or others, child safety concerns, or if required by law). I'll explain these limits clearly in our first session.

Absolutely. Not everyone comes to therapy because something is "wrong." Some people are curious, wanting to expand their erotic potential, explore pleasure more deeply, or cultivate greater aliveness and vitality in their intimate lives.

My training includes sacred sexuality traditions and advanced somatic practices for erotic embodiment. If you're interested in exploring beyond the therapeutic and into the realm of erotic expansion - awakening deeper pleasure, cultivating erotic energy, or discovering new dimensions of intimacy - I welcome those conversations.

This work can happen in individual and couples sessions or through peer support groups and workshops, depending on what you're drawn to.

Yes. Many of my clients are navigating the impacts of trauma on their intimate lives, and I have extensive training in trauma-informed practice.

My work is most effective when you're in a recovery stage - meaning you have basic safety in place and you're ready to focus on rebuilding intimacy and exploring sexuality. If you're currently in an unsafe situation or experiencing active violence, your immediate safety is the priority. I'll help you connect with specialist domestic violence services, and we can work together once you're stable and ready.

I often work collaboratively with other professionals - GPs, pelvic floor specialists, or DV support workers. If you're unsure whether now is the right time, book a free 20-minute phone consultation. We'll talk through your situation and work out the best path forward together.

Absolutely. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and inclusive of all relationship configurations.

Sexual and intimacy concerns often have multiple layers - physical, emotional, relational, and psychological. The best outcomes usually come from addressing all of these, which is why I often recommend working collaboratively with other health professionals.

Here's how we're different:

Pelvic health physiotherapists focus on the physical mechanics - muscle tone, tension, coordination, and tissue health. They do internal examinations, manual therapy, and specific exercises to address things like painful sex caused by muscle dysfunction, incontinence, or prolapse.

GP or gynaecologist handles medical assessment - hormones, medications, underlying conditions. They can prescribe treatments like vaginal estrogen, lubricants, or hormone therapy, and rule out medical causes of sexual concerns.

I focus on the emotional, psychological, and relational aspects - desire changes, arousal difficulties, how trauma or stress affects your body's responses, communication with partners, shame, anxiety, and how your beliefs and past experiences shape your intimate life. My work is body oriented talk therapy; I don't do physical examinations or prescribe medication.

Working together: Many sexual concerns have both physical and psychological components. For example, painful sex might involve muscle tension (pelvic physio), hormonal changes (GP), AND anxiety or past trauma (me).

Sometimes, I might suggest seeing a pelvic health specialist or GP alongside our work together.

A sex positive approach means viewing sexuality as a natural, healthy part of being human. This isn't about promoting any particular sexual behaviour - it's about creating a shame-free space where you can explore what pleasure, desire, and intimacy mean for you, free from judgment.

Whether you're wanting to reclaim sexual confidence, navigate changes in desire, or deepen your erotic life, a sex positive approach centres your autonomy intelligence and consent.

I offer online sessions across Australia via Zoom. For in-person sessions, I practice in Armidale and am available to clients in surrounding areas.
