I have three strands of work that all support each other - as a therapist I specialise in relationships, sex, and the cultural influences on relationship expectations and norms. I take a sociological lens and delve into the impact of culture on relationships and sexual wellbeing from childhood to adulthood. The second strand is helping adults talk to children and teenagers about the ‘tricky topics’ - sex, porn, grooming, abuse, consent, online safety. I work in schools and community groups every week to offer practical guidance on how to do this. My third strand is advocacy - I challenge Government or tech companies to do better to protect those most vulnerable in our society. I believe in working on the front lines with people, and also working towards structural and policy change. I have delivered a TEDx talk and speak internationally on topics of intimacy, relationships, sexual culture, and child development. I pride myself on being a trusted guide through the complexities of human connection and sexual well-being.
