Saskia Kalwinek

My name is Saskia Kalwinek and I am a Sydney based Sex Therapist (Sexologist). I am passionate about empowering people to explore, enjoy and improve their sexual life, health, self-esteem, communication, and knowledge. My background is Polish. I grew up in Lodz (Poland) and moved to study in Australia. I have also lived and worked in the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Thailand. I have travelled extensively, and have met and lived with people from various cultures and backgrounds. My multinational friendships and relationships have taught me a non- judgmental, understanding, and proactive approach to life. My experiences have made me realise the value of being true to oneself. Those lessons are especially important when approaching issues of mental health. I incorporate all of my knowledge gained during studies, work, and travels into my approach to counselling. I believe that everyone is entitled to a pleasurable and functional sexual life. Transformation sometimes needs therapeutic help. I want to allow my clients to share their stories in an environment that is free of judgment. My mission is to help people see their sexual life not as shameful but as a gift that they can enjoy.
