Registered Counsellor, Sexologist,

& Human

About me

I’ve always had an interest in human sexuality. Fascinated by how sex and sexuality seems to be all around us, yet there are little to no open and honest conversations about it.

The Research Project for my Honours Degree (Psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand) looked at comfort levels with talking about different topics within human sexuality and relationships.

In 2012, I completed my internship (To write the Board exam to become a Registered Counsellor) at Ekupholeni Mental Health and Trauma Center.

If knowledge is power, inaccurate and incomplete information is disempowering.

I dream of a world where shame no longer keeps people hidden from the world.

This is an element of all the work I do. 

My online course for parents and professionals – Tools for Having “The Talks” provides a baseline of accurate information about:

  • How bodies work
  • How gender is an intricate part of how we understand ourselves
  • Why understanding boundaries is vital for healthy emotional lives
  • Different relationships throughout our lives
  • The natural diversity of human attraction and sexuality
  • Safer sex & contraception
 

Very few of us received this kind of sexuality & relationship education. 

There are fears about what comprehensive education “will do” or “encourage” in young people. These fears forget that young people already have access to information for answering their current curiosities. 

Young people are not a blank slate until their sexuality and relationship education begins in school. We all learn about gender, relationships, boundaries and attraction long before we even start Primary school. 

My course provides accurate information, filling in the blanks that most adults didn’t know they had. Focusing on how you, as a parent, or professional working with children, to have these vital foundational conversations with the young people in your care. 

These conversational tools help make these conversations less awkward, especially for the young people.
