Sex Therapy Readiness Questionnaire
Wondering if sex therapy is right for you at this point in your life?
This short questionnaire is designed to help you reflect on your readiness and clarify what you’re hoping to explore or work on in therapy. Please take your time and respond as thoughtfully and honestly as you can. Your answers will help you get a sense of where you are right now and highlight areas where professional support may be most helpful — for example around trauma, shame, desire, intimacy, ethical non‑monogamy, or other aspects of your sexual and relational world that feel important to you

Overall Readiness
Remember: there is no perfect readiness score. These reflections are simply here to help you get a feel for what sex therapy may involve, and whether this feels like the right kind of support for you right now.
If you feel ready to begin — whether you are seeking healing, understanding, pleasure, or a deeper connection with yourself — I would be honoured to hear from you.
