Hi, I’m Ally Moore.

I’m a sex therapist and social worker based in Sydney, who is passionate about helping people feel more connected, more confident, and experience more pleasure in their intimate lives.

I’m a big believer in pleasure as power, in playfulness as healing, and in giving ourselves permission to ask for what we really want (inside and outside the bedroom).

Working with me is collaborative and relaxed. We’ll explore what’s been holding you back, discover new ways of connecting to your body and desires, and help you feel more confident and fulfilled in your sexuality.

I welcome and affirm all expressions of sexuality including kink, non-monogamy, open relationships, and sex work. This is a space where every part of your sexual self is safe, respected, and celebrated.

If you’ve ever wished you had someone safe to talk to about sex, intimacy, or pleasure then this is the space for you. Let’s take the shame out of the conversation and put curiosity, honesty, and pleasure back in.

I focus on being able to deliver judgment-free accessible counselling and support. I engaged a trauma-informed, sex-positive approach to therapy and specialise in the following areas:

  • Sexual & relationship trauma, navigating triggers and rebuilding trust, intimacy & reconnecting to your body

  • Kink & BDSM

  • Navigating sexual shame & anxiety

  • Desire discrepancies in relationships, low or reduced sexual desire & exploring what you enjoy sexually

  • Exploring pleasure, sexual confidence, sexual identity and self-discovery

  • Improving communication about sex, intimacy and relationships

  • Dating anxiety, intimacy concerns & exploring new relationship structures such as ethical non-monogamy & polyamory

  • Difficulties in becoming aroused or reaching orgasm

  • Erectile difficulties, performance anxiety and ejaculation concerns

  • Pain during sex

  • Building a more confident, connected and fulfilling sex life

My Approach

Talking about sex, intimacy and relationships can feel vulnerable. Many people come to therapy unsure where to start, worried about being judged, or feeling like they “should” already have the answers. My aim is to create a safe, respectful space where you can slow things down, speak openly, and explore what’s going on without shame or pressure.

I work from a sex-positive, trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, recognising that our experiences of sexuality are shaped by our relationships, life experiences, beliefs, and how our mind and body respond to stress and safety.

Therapy is collaborative — we work together to understand your thoughts, feelings and patterns, and explore what might help things feel different or more manageable.

I draw on evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, psychoeducation, somatic and body-based strategies, Motivational Interviewing, trauma-focused CBT and EMDR. This may involve building awareness of how your nervous system responds in intimacy, developing practical tools for regulation, and gently processing past experiences where relevant.

Above all, therapy offers a consistent relational space to feel heard, understood, and supported as you move towards a more connected, confident and fulfilling sense of sexuality and intimacy.
