Z70.3: Counselling related to combined concerns regarding sexual attitude, behaviour and orientation
Counselling related to combined concerns regarding sexual attitude, behaviour, and orientation is a process that aims to address issues or concerns in these areas. It might be sought by individuals who are experiencing a range of sexual concerns, which could include confusion about sexual orientation, or difficulty accepting one's own sexual behaviours or attitudes. This counselling is not a disorder or illness, but a therapeutic service designed to assist individuals in understanding and accepting their unique sexual identities and behaviours. It often involves discussing sexual history, behaviors, attitudes, and emotions. The aim of this counselling is to enhance the individual's sexual wellbeing by promoting healthy attitudes and behaviours. It does not indicate any physical or psychological illness, but rather, a need for professional guidance in these specific areas.
