Start by choosing which service you want an appointment for in the portal on the Centre for Sexuality website, then select your appointment time.
Appointments will become available exactly one week in advance from the appointment time. For example, the appointment for Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. next week will become available to book at 2:00 pm on Tuesday of this week. If the system does not show any available appointments, it means that they are either all booked, or they are not yet available for booking. We encourage clients to routinely check this page for availability, including for last-minute appointments (we do get cancellations!).
