Our Philosophy

Limerence Centre provides a judgment free environment for their clients who exercise their right to lifestyle choices, values, and consensual sexual expression. Respect and compassion are central to therapy. The role of Limerence Centre's therapists is to empower the client with knowledge and skills, enabling them to improve and sustain rewarding sexual and intimate relationships.

Mission Statement

The professionals at Limerence Centre consistently strive for excellence in the delivery of sexual therapy. They consider themselves privileged to be entrusted with the concerns of their clients. We at Limerence Centre believe that the trust and confidence placed by the client in us is earned through our high regard for their difficulties and appreciation for their courage to confront issues of a highly personal nature. The Centre's objective is to assist individuals in achieving their goals and expectations to the highest degree possible.
