The Australian Institute of Sexology and Sexual Medicine
The Australian Institute of Sexology and Sexual Medicine (AISSM) is a progressive psycho-sexology clinic that is passionate about creating healthy, strong and safe sexual lives.The AISSM team provide confidential and individualised sex therapy and relationship therapy to individuals and couples.
Our mission is to create a safe and open environment for individuals and couples to discuss sexuality openly. For those who come through our doors to feel listened to, understood and educated on how to have a healthy sexual life.
Sex-related topics are often associated with loneliness, shame or hesitation and can be difficult to discuss.
AISSM is determined to change this.
At AISSM we know that adequate sex education is hard to come by, leaving many people struggling to know how to have a great and healthy sex life. We prioritise the importance of sexual and relational communication. How to discuss likes, dislikes and boundaries with sexual partners.
Relationships and sex life are intricately linked, and at AISSM we look at the individual and/or couple as a whole picture. Providing a safe space where we can assess your life as a whole, and how we can assist you in reaching your goals of fun, pleasurable and safe sexuality.
