Intimacy Counselling in Singapore

Struggling with intimacy in your relationship or within yourself? At Reiwa Health, our intimacy counselling services in Singapore help individuals and couples overcome barriers to emotional, physical, and sexual connection. Whether you’re experiencing reduced desire, intimacy avoidance, sexual communication challenges, or difficulty with vulnerability, our certified intimacy counsellors provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and heal.

Led by Dr Angela Tan, a certified sexual wellness specialist with over 15 years of specialized training and experience, we blend evidence-based therapy with somatic practices to help you reconnect with yourself, your sexuality, and your partner.

What is Intimacy Counselling?

Intimacy counselling focuses specifically on the barriers preventing emotional, physical, and sexual connection in relationships. Unlike general couples therapy, intimacy work addresses:

  • Sexual communication and desire discrepancy
  • Emotional vulnerability and fear of closeness
  • Physical intimacy avoidance or discomfort
  • Body image and sexual confidence
  • Pleasure and satisfaction in intimate relationships

Intimacy counselling creates space to explore these sensitive topics without shame, helping you understand the root causes of disconnection and develop practical tools for deeper connection.

Who Benefits from Intimacy Therapy?

Our intimacy counselling serves:

  • Couples experiencing desire discrepancy or “roommate syndrome”
  • Partners navigating life transitions affecting intimacy (new baby, menopause, career stress)
  • Individuals recovering from sexual trauma or shame
  • Those wanting to deepen emotional and sexual connection
  • Couples struggling with communication about sex and needs
  • Individuals exploring sexuality and desire

Our Approach to Intimacy Work

We integrate multiple evidence-based approaches:

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for attachment and connection
Gottman Method principles for relationship dynamics
Somatic practices and embodiment work
Communication tools for vulnerable conversations
Sex-positive, shame-free environment

Sessions are tailored to your specific needs, whether that’s addressing immediate concerns or exploring deeper patterns affecting intimacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is intimacy counselling only for couples?
No. While many couples seek intimacy counselling together, individual sessions are equally valuable. Individual intimacy work helps you understand your own patterns, desires, and barriers to connection.

There’s significant overlap. Intimacy counselling addresses emotional, physical, and sexual connection, while sex therapy specifically focuses on sexual function and concerns. At Reiwa Health, we integrate both approaches based on your needs.

Confidentiality is paramount. Everything discussed in sessions remains private unless there’s risk of harm. We provide a judgment-free, shame-free environment for exploring sensitive topics.
Most individuals and couples notice shifts within 4-8 sessions. The duration depends on the complexity of concerns and your goals. We’ll review progress regularly and adjust as needed.
Absolutely. Individual intimacy counselling can be highly effective even if your partner isn’t ready to participate. You’ll gain insights and tools that can positively impact the relationship.
