Venus Salem
Astrological Counsellor in Launceston

As a certified and accredited Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist, Astrologist, and Transformation Coach, I offer a holistic and deeply integrative approach to personal growth, emotional healing, and relationship dynamics. With a unique blend of evidence-based therapeutic practices, ancient astrological wisdom, and transformative coaching techniques, I help individuals and couples navigate life's challenges with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.

With years of experience in psychosexual therapy, I guide clients through complex emotional and physical issues, fostering deeper intimacy, communication, and sexual well-being. My approach is grounded in empathy, empowerment, and a deep understanding of the intricate ways in which our relationships with ourselves and others shape our lives.

As an astrologer, I provide insightful readings that offer a cosmic perspective on personal and relational patterns, using the birth chart as a powerful tool for self-discovery, growth, and alignment. I believe astrology can illuminate hidden strengths, challenges, and opportunities, allowing clients to step into their true potential with greater self-awareness.

As a Transformation Coach, I work with individuals who are ready to embrace change, break free from limiting beliefs, and manifest their most authentic and empowered selves. Whether it's navigating a life transition, overcoming fear, or setting and achieving bold goals, I support my clients in creating lasting transformations that align with their highest aspirations.

I am passionate about supporting people to live fulfilling, authentic lives—where they can express their full potential in all areas of their life, from their relationships to their careers to their sense of inner peace. Through a blend of psychological insight, spiritual guidance, and practical coaching, I help my clients create lasting change and a deeper connection to themselves and others.

I have an MA degree from the University of Essex where my dissertation was focussed on psychoanalysing the motifs and themes in various and global mythology.

My Specialisms

True to my name, I specialise in connection: connection to self, connection to other, connection to the Universe and its constant unraveling and unfolding. These connections help us to create a sense of self and being that is able and capable, not only to face life's greatest challenges, but to self actualise, individuate and thrive.

I particularly enjoy working with couples and/or poly relationships of all genders. Additionally, I enjoy working with individuals who are not in a relationship and are either healing from a previous experience or would like to heal with the aim to be fit for one in the future.

Approach to Astrological Counselling & How I Work

I focus on helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of sexuality, intimacy, and emotional connections. I explore how past experiences, childhood dynamics, and societal conditioning influence current sexual expression and relationship patterns.

Focus on Healing and Growth: I guide clients to understand and heal from sexual traumas, inhibitions, or imbalances, providing a safe space to explore desires, boundaries, and fantasies.

Empowerment: I empower clients to reconnect with their sexual selves in a way that is healthy, authentic, and free from shame.

Sexual Energy and Life Force: I approach sexuality from the perspective of energy—helping clients cultivate and understand their sexual energy as a life force that can be used for healing, creativity, and emotional transformation.

Overall, my therapeutic style emphasises self-awareness, empowerment, growth, and transformation. I create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their emotional and relational lives. I hold space for both the psychological and spiritual dimensions of healing, inviting clients to work with both their inner world (through therapy, astrology, and alchemy) and their external relationships (through communication, boundaries, and mutual understanding).

By combining ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic techniques, I offer a truly integrative and transformative experience for my clients. My approach speaks to a deep belief in the capacity for personal and relational growth, seeing challenges as opportunities for alchemical change and healing.
