Sex and Cancer / Illness

Celebrate Love in the Face of Adversity

In our earlier adult lives, we tend to thrive on the seemingly immortal bliss of youth. We take our health for granted and enjoy the benefits of living without the obstruction or frustration that can be brought on by illness.

Eventually, whether to a greater or lesser extent, illness strikes and usually catches us off-guard. For some, sadly, that time is earlier in our lives, robbing us even sooner of youthful innocence.

Illness brings with it the benefit of wisdom. Through the process of suffering and healing, we become wiser and stronger to deal with obstacles that life places in our way.

Perhaps we feel ashamed of how our bodies have changed, perhaps we feel worried or betrayed in the sense that we can’t trust our own flesh. Maybe we’ve become sexually estranged due to a long period of sickness and lack of intimacy. Regardless, receiving therapy or surviving a difficult illness, always brings with it the battle scars that tend to leave loved ones slightly more distant than before.

Many of my patients have suffered illnesses of varying degrees and see me for counselling to do both individual and couples therapy. Although I personally did not have cancer, I did receive chemotherapy for several months, and have a first-hand understanding of the destructive impact it can have. I don’t ever pretend to know what another human is going through, but I do feel a sense of kinship with my patients for understanding at least some of their journeys.

My goal is to help you not only get closer to your partner again, but also to yourself. I aim to find out your goals from counselling and work with you to find renewed energy and happiness in your life.

I’m also able to advise on the possibilities of intimacy and having sex, based on a variety of circumstances and limiting factors. Most clients who approach me about this feel ashamed at first. I consider it my first priority to make sure that you know there is no shame, and to empower you every step of the way.

Please feel free to contact me if you’d like to have a chat to find out a little more, or to schedule a free initial consultation to see whether I might be of assistance.
