FAQ’s

What does FLINTA mean?

FLINTA is a German acronym that stands for Frauen, Lesben, Inter, Nicht-binär, Trans, Agender which translates to women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender people.

This is a queer-led practice intentionally for the LGBTQIA+ and FLINTA community, including people navigating non-monogamy, kink, BDSM, and sex work.

Essentially, Kendall works with everyone except cisgender heterosexual men.

Why do people usually book with Kendall?

Most patients are looking for a therapist who:

  • is queer and culturally attuned

  • understands queer dynamics, non-monogamy, kink, BDSM, and sex work

  • works from a neuro-affirming/informed lens for ADHD and autistic clients

  • can talk about sex, intimacy, and identity without awkwardness

  • offers practical, relational, and effective therapy

  • is personable and will, when appropriate, call you out.

Do I need to be seeing you specifically for a “sex problem”?

No. Many patients attend for general therapy with a queer clinician who understands their world. Sex, relationships, identity, and wellbeing are often interconnected, but sessions are guided by what you need support with.

What is a sexologist and how is this different from general therapy?

Sexology is the study of human sexuality, relationships, intimacy, and identity. In practice, this means therapy that can hold conversations about sex, desire, bodies, gender, trauma, and relationships without discomfort, judgement, or avoidance.

While Kendall’s background is in sexology, many patients attend for broader therapy with a queer, neuro-affirming clinician who understands the context of their lives. Sessions may focus on relationships, regulation, identity, trauma, communication, or intimacy.

What happens after the free initial assessment?

If you both decide to proceed, Kendall will email you her current availability and a client intake form to complete before your first session.

Your first session is 70 minutes. This allows time to go through the intake information together, clarify your goals, and begin building a shared understanding of what you need from therapy. Kendall structures the beginning of therapy this way because the aim is to be effective rather than prescriptive.

Following the first session, clients are usually seen fortnightly for the first 8 weeks. This rhythm helps establish therapeutic rapport and meaningful traction early in the work.

After this period, session frequency can be adjusted depending on your needs.

What happens in a session?

Sessions are conversational, collaborative, and tailored to you. There is no script or fixed model, unless of course that is what you need.

You may talk about relationships, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, desire, trauma history, communication patterns, or anything impacting your wellbeing. Kendall draws from humanistic and feminist therapy, DBT-informed skills, Gottman-informed relationship work, and a neuro-affirming, trauma-informed lens.

You do not need to censor language, explain queer culture, or educate your therapist.

The only exceptions to confidentiality are where there is a legal obligation to report, including situations where there is a risk of serious harm to you or others, or where mandatory reporting laws apply.

If this were ever relevant, Kendall would aim to discuss this with you openly and transparently wherever possible.

Kendall does participate in formal confidential clinician led individual, group, and peer supervision where general themes may be discussed to better assist patients however, if supervision specific to you and your care needed to be discussed, no identifying aspects would be disclosed. Additionally, all clinicians are bound by professional and ethical standards and confidentiality.

What is the difference between a sexologist and a sex coach?

A sexologist is a university-trained healthcare professional with formal qualifications in health and sexuality, registered under AHPRA, and trained to work therapeutically with complex issues including trauma, mental health, sexual health, and relationships.

Sex coaching is typically goal-oriented and educational. Sexology is therapeutic, relational, and clinically informed.
