About Me
Hi, my name is Casey I'm a ESSM/EFS Certified Psycho-Sexologist and a HPCSA Registered Counsellor (Registration Number PRC0020125) .
I have a special interest in sexuality, gender, relationship and erotic diversity, as well as parenting. I provide counselling for adults on an individual basis, as well as sexuality education workshops for parents and professionals working with young people.
My Background
-
- After completing my Honours Degree from WITS, I completed a BPsych equivalent course through UNISA, which included an internship at Ekupholeni Mental Health and Trauma Center in 2012.
- This enabled me to register as a Registered Counsellor with the Health Professionals Council of South Africa (HPCSA) in 2013.
- After completing my internship at Ekupholeni Mental Health and Trauma Centre, I worked there part time during 2013 as a Trauma Counsellor. While working at Ekupholeni, I provided counselling for individuals and couples, co-facilitated group counselling as well as creating and implementing a basic literacy programme to assist our clients with a basic literacy level. This literacy programme continued to be run by my colleagues for many years.
- I have a Masters Degree in Psychology (Research) from the University of the Witwatersrand. My coursework included the psychology of gender, and the critical psychology of race, racialism and racialisation. My research looked at experience of school-based sexuality and relationship education.
- I have studied human sexuality since 2010. In 2022 I was able to attend the European Society for Sexual Medicine’s School for Sexual Medicine, followed by passing their Psycho-Sexologist Certification Exam in 2023.
- I am also a member of SASHA, membership number: SASHA 103
I am part of a monthly professional development space where we discuss and debate:
- Sexology and Sexual Health
- Sexuality and Gender Identity
- Non-Monogamies and other Non-Normative identities
- Neurodiversity

My fee as a guest speaker depends on the event and what kind of talk you would like me to provide.
Some examples:
I have spoken at schools on various sexuality and relationship education topics, both for parents and learners.
I also provide teachers with training to upskill with how they support learners who talk to them about their relationships, as well as how to improve upon the consent, relationship and sexuality content in the Life Skills/Orientation classes they teach.
I provide companies with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Training.
Let’s chat about your event and what you’d like me to cover in my talk.
Feedback from Casey's Online Workshops:
Casey creates a relaxed environment to share personal experiences, to learn about evidence based best practice when talking to kids about sexuality, and to critically think through every day dilemmas so you feel more equipped to deal with them when they come up.
Its never too early to start having certain conversations with my children – to be open and honest on topics which I previously might have thought they were not yet ready for. Learning this skill will allow me to be a source of correct information to them, making them feel comfortable and confident enough to approach me with anything.
Casey is very well informed about how to discuss the body, safe touches, consent, sex and reproduction with your children and she is able to share that knowledge with you in a manner that is easily understandable.
