TESTIMONIALS

Heide McConkey has worked with Impotence Australia since 2001. Heide has displayed remarkable skills in assessment and providing treatments for sexual dysfunction. I find Heide's current work with applying Voice Dialogue and sex therapy exciting and I am sure that this method will add a new dynamic to the field of sexology. Heide has provided a high standard of supervision to sexologist at Impotence Australia.
Brett McCann, CEO Impotence Australia

I have found an opportunity to write to say thank you for the work that we did together which continues to have a beneficial effect on me. Since having those sessions with you I have been much more peaceful around my sexuality and also have been fostering healthier relationships. You introduced me to seeing what I needed to see and I am very appreciative of that.
M.W., Client

Do you get up every morning fearing what the day is going to bring you? Are you suffering from any kind of addiction? Or maybe your relationship is falling apart? Whatever problem you might be facing right now, Heide is able to show you the solution. Provided you take the first step and you are committed, your negative world surrounded by thundery clouds will soon brighten up. Heide thank you so much for everything! For me you are not just an adviser but also a good friend.
Best wishes, Pablo

We were nervous and doubtful when we first came to see you. Our relationship was rock-bottom and previous therapy did not work for us. Your profound knowledge and your non judgemental approach really helped us. We gained much sexual confidence and enjoy our relationship.
CH. M. and A.M., Clients

I want to say thank you for your patients and ongoing support. I wanted to give up many times, but you kept me on track overcoming my addiction. I feel in control of my life again, and my relationship has improved.
J.B., Client

Admitting my sex addiction to myself was very confronting at first. The sessions have really helped me to see myself and to control my compulsions. I feel at peace with myself for the first time in ages. Thank you for your ongoing support.
A.I., Client

Thanks Heide, for your understanding and profound knowledge. I have been avoiding relationships for so long because I was too ashamed of my premature ejaculation condition. I just wanted to share with you that I have a new partner, and I am much more confident in the bedroom.
