Abstract	An evidence base for developing guidelines on providing good quality sexuality counselling was generated by conducting a desk review, in-depth key-informant interviews with policy makers, government officials, representatives from NGOs and other help lines, donors, international organizations, counselling trainers, counselors and managers of Talking About Reproductive and Sexual Health Issues (TARSHI) in New Delhi, India. Sexuality has to be acknowledged as an important dimension of human existence. This policy brief gives some directions for what needs to be done in the area of sexuality counselling. Some of the issues identified through the telephone transcripts and focus group discussions show not only the need for counselling on sexual health and sexuality but also a need for basic information and education.
