Miano Clinical Sexology was founded by Sexologist Laura Miano.
Laura Miano is an experienced sex therapist and educator. She is passionate about breaking down sexual stigmas and opening conversations that foster a deeper learning of one’s own sexuality and desires. Laura’s approach to sex therapy is empathetic, trauma-informed, and person-centred.
Laura also engages regularly with the media. She appears fortnightly on national radio network, Listenrr (Fox FM in Melbourne, 2Day FM in Sydney), she has written for a number of publications including Vice, Poosh, and Fashion Journal, and has been invited as a guest speaker for MamaMia, MPavilian, TheLab and more.
Laura’s work also spans the sexual wellness space. She co-founded Melbourne-based sexual wellness brand, Posmo. Posmo stocks a range of pleasure products, including Posmo Silicone Lubricant, a premium lubricant created to reduce the stigma of using sexual aids.

Values
Warmth & Empathy
MCS understands a good client-therapist relationship is critical for impactful therapy. This is why we value and prioritise a warm and empathetic approach in sessions, to create a safe space for clients to discuss their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.
Person-Centred Care
We believe our clients are experts in their own lives. This is why we adopt a person-centred approach to therapy by prioritising what our clients deem important. We also aim to create an environment that facilitates self-awareness, to then empower our clients to make changes in their own lives.
Open-mindedness & Inclusivity
At MCS, we appreciate that everyone’s lived experience is vastly different. This is why we welcome each person’s story, including their unique desires, relationship dynamics, identities and more. MCS warmly welcomes sex workers, trans people and those who enjoy kink practices.
Subjective Sexual Satisfaction
We appreciate that sexual satisfaction is completely subjective – one person’s concept of a happy and healthy sex life will be different to another’s. With this, we support our clients to achieve the sex life they desire for themselves.
Reliability & Professionalism
We pride ourselves on conscientiously providing a professional and reliable service for our clients to access sex therapy sessions with ease. Our goal is for our clients have a positive and seamless experience at MCS. To uphold this, we gladly invite your feedback.
