Reclaim your confidence
with Allura
We are a sex-positive, pleasure-focused, and trauma-informed therapy centre with locations in Vancouver, Victoria and Calgary — supporting clients of all genders, orientations, and relationship structures in exploring their sexual well-being.
A Safe Space for You to Explore How You Experience Sex, Intimacy & Connection
We Help You Reconnect with Pleasure in All it’s Forms
Sex Therapy
Sex therapy is about more than what happens in the bedroom. Whether you’re navigating changes in desire, pain, erectile concerns, LGBTQ2S+ experiences or non-monogamy, we’re here to help.
Relationship Counselling
When communication feels hard, relationship counselling can help you reconnect. We support couples and partners of all relationship structures to build stronger, more fulfilling connections.
Sexual Trauma Counselling
Experiences of sexual trauma can leave intimacy and connection feeling out of reach. Our counsellors provide a safe, compassionate space to help you process what you’ve been through.
Lower-Cost Counselling
We believe sex therapy should be accessible to everyone. Our intern counsellors offer lower-cost sessions to make support more affordable while maintaining our high standard of care.
Our Sex Therapy Specialists
Our therapists provide practical strategies and holistic support to navigate desire, arousal, communication, intimacy after trauma, and exploring new aspects of sexual and relational life.
