We offer kink-friendly therapy and poly-friendly therapy to people across the world.
For those of us who have felt judged, marginalised or discriminated against because we’re kinky or non-monogamous, it’s really important to feel seen, heard and safe in therapy.
Unfortunately though, many therapists aren’t comfortable or confident talking kink, BDSM, polyamory and non-monogamy. We are. All our therapists are kink and poly-affirming, with many of us having extensive lived and professional experience.
You might be dabbling in kinky play and want to explore more, or live a 24/7 BDSM lifestyle and are starting to find it challenging. Perhaps you’re confused or worried about your fantasies and fetishes? Or you might just be a kinkster looking for help with something else entirely. Whatever brings you to therapy, you will want to work with a therapist who understands and accepts all of you.
Your Time To Talk embraces the Guidelines for Working with People with Kink Interests created by the Kink Clinical Practice Guidelines Project.
It’s just the same with non-monogamy and polyamory.
We can support you if you’re new to non-monogamy and want to take time to think and talk things through before you open your relationship. If you’re already non-monogamous or polyamorous, we can guide you through any challenges you might face, like poly-saturation, jealousy, envy or fear, or a breakdown in communication.
We’re highly experienced in supporting partners creating or renegotiating relationship agreements. And we work with you to build the communication skills that are essential in non-monogamous relationships; even more so than in monogamous relationships.
At Your Time To Talk, we work with all genders, sexualities, erotic desires and practices, and relationships between consenting adults. With individuals and those in intimate relationships, including couples, polycules, and all shapes and sizes of multi-partner relationships.
Kink-affirming therapy acknowledges and respects diverse expressions of human sexuality, particularly kink, BDSM, and fetishes. Poly-affirming therapy supports, validates and understands ethically non-monogamous, open and polyamorous relationships. Many of our therapists bring lived experience, not just theoretical knowledge.
No, not at all.
Our therapists are affirming of kink/BDSM and non-monogamy/polyamory, and many have lived experience.
They have had specific training in working with kinky and non-monogamous people, and fully understand that kink/BDSM and non-monogamy/polyamory are not 'problems to fix.'
All of our therapists hold a non-judgmental space where you can explore all aspects of your identity without fear of judgement.
Kink-affirming therapy acknowledges and respects diverse expressions of human sexuality, particularly kink, BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism), and fetishes.
Your therapist will not try to change or 'fix' your desires or practices.
Yes. Many of our qualified, more experienced therapists work with people in multiple partnered relationships, including polycules.
