Is Therapy For Problematic Sexual Thoughts Or Behaviour Right For Me?

Experiencing sexual thoughts or behaviours that feel concerning, intrusive, or harmful can be distressing and isolating. Therapy provides a confidential, nonjudgmental space to understand these patterns, reduce risk, and build healthier coping strategies. Seeking support is a proactive step toward change and responsibility.

Distressing Thoughts

Unwanted or persistent sexual thoughts can cause shame, guilt, or anxiety. Therapy helps you manage and reduce their impact.

Risky Behaviour

Engaging in sexual behaviours that put you or others at risk may signal an underlying problem. Support can help you recognize triggers and develop safer alternatives.

Relationship Impact

Problematic behaviours can harm intimacy, trust, or connection. Therapy provides tools to rebuild relationships on healthier foundations.

Feelings of Isolation

It’s common to feel alone in managing these struggles. Therapy offers understanding and practical strategies for change.

“You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”

– James Allen

Common Questions

This therapy is for individuals experiencing sexual thoughts or behaviours they find concerning, distressing, or harmful. While this list is not comprehensive, therapy is available for individuals who:

  • are charged with or convicted of a sexual offence, including possession of child pornography or other online sexual offences.
  • identify as having a sex addiction or engaging in compulsive sexual behaviour
  • are concerned about their pornography use, especially involving illegal or extreme content
  • are struggling with sexual thoughts or fantasies that feel distressing or hard to control
  • have been labeled or identify as a sex offender and are looking for support in managing behaviour and rebuilding their life.
  • want help understanding and addressing risky or harmful sexual behaviour.

We offer couples therapy to help partners rebuild trust and navigate the emotional impact of sexual offences. In addition, we support parents, partners, and family members of individuals involved in child pornography (child sex abuse matieral) or other sexual offences through their own individual therapy—creating a safe space to process complex emotions and access guidance for moving forward.

So whether you’re seeking help for yourself or someone close to you, our services are designed to meet a range of needs with compassion and confidentiality.

Personalized Treatment Tailored Just For You.

Every person’s journey is unique, which is why we offer tailored treatment plans to meet your specific needs. Through virtual therapy, our associates provide a confidential and nonjudgmental space to address concerning thoughts or behaviours. Together with your therapist, you will create a roadmap for change, focusing on accountability, healthier coping strategies, and safer choices.

In addition to individual therapy, we also support couples working to rebuild trust and navigate the emotional impact of sexual offences. Our therapists help partners communicate openly, process trauma, and strengthen their relationship in the aftermath of disclosure or legal involvement.

We also offer dedicated support for parents, partners, and family members of individuals involved in sexual offences—providing a safe space to explore difficult emotions, understand complex dynamics, and access guidance for moving forward.
