What is the Sexual Wellbeing Check-In?

Sexual wellbeing is multidimensional and includes physical, emotional and relational aspects. A structured reflection helps clients identify concerns and goals comfortably.

Why it works

Nagoski (2021) describes sexual wellbeing as shaped by context and self-acceptance. Better sexual communication is associated with higher sexual satisfaction (Mallory et al., 2019).

When to use it

  • Sex therapy intake
  • General therapy where sexuality is relevant
  • After medical changes
  • Couples work

How to use it in session

  1. Complete privately.
  2. Rate each area.
  3. Identify priorities.
  4. Share what feels comfortable.
  5. Set goals.

Clinician tips

  • Ask about safety and consent.
  • Use inclusive language for all orientations and relationship styles.
  • Sexual concerns can have medical causes; consider a medical check-up alongside therapy.

Worked example

Comfort: pain with intercourse (2/10). Change: understand the pain and talk with my partner about alternatives.

Sharing with clients

Members can download the PDF to print or email, or copy a private client link from the download box. Your client opens the link and downloads the worksheet on any device. No client account is needed, and nothing your client writes is stored on TherapyAid.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to share all my answers?

No. Share only what you’re comfortable with.

Is pain during sex normal?

Pain is common but not something to ignore; a health provider can help.
