WELCOME

I created this community to help more people communicate about sex, intimacy and trauma recovery with greater confidence, safety and ease.

"I am passionate about supporting people's sexual wellbeing during trauma recovery as this is a highly deprioritised area of clinical care."

- Kate Dempsey

Hi there!

I'M KATE

Read my story  ➝

As an Accredited Clinical Psychosexual Therapist, I use my understanding of human sexuality and professional experience to provide evidence-based information to support you on your unique journey.

My courses are based on years of clinical experience working within an accredited Trauma Recovery Program and within my private practice working with PTSD, Complex PTSD, attachment wounding and relationships.

My hope is that this information will help you and any sexual partners understand your unique and complex journey of recovery and to clarify where to find professional support when needed.

DEDICATION

I dedicate this body of work to the courageous men and women of the Australian Defence Force and our First Responder communities.

"Thank you for your service to our country and communities. I continue advocating for your needs and better service provision for sexual wellbeing and relationships." - Kate Dempsey

"I felt compelled to reach out because your work at the intersection of trauma recovery, sexual functioning, relationships and Internal Family Systems feels uniquely relevant to what my partner and I are experiencing."
