SUPPORT
COMMUNITY
Your voice is important!
WELCOME
I created this community after years of my clients and workshop participants requesting more online support that they could share directly with their intimate partners. I heard you!
In responding to this need, my intention is to support more people to communicate about sex, intimacy and trauma recovery with greater confidence, safety and ease.
I continue to lecture on this topic and support other health care providers to understand the complexities within this area of health care. I am also an advocate for better sexual wellbeing services in Australia for every Body.
"I am passionate about supporting people's sexual wellbeing during trauma recovery as this is a highly specialised but deprioritised area of clinical care."
- Kate Dempsey
As an Accredited Clinical Psychosexual Therapist, I use my qualifications in human sexuality and professional experience to provide evidence-based information to support you on your unique recovery journey.
My courses are based on years of clinical experience. Working within an accredited Trauma Recovery Program and within my private practice helping people with PTSD, Complex PTSD, attachment wounding and relationship stress, I support people navigating their unique relationships, sexual wellbeing and trauma recovery.
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."
