About Me.
Emily (she/her) is a Queer cis-gendered Sexologist and NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner based in Geelong, Victoria (Wadawurrung Country). She is passionate about sex, relationships, LGBTIQA+ issues and advocating for the rights of disabled folk. She believes we all deserve to have a pleasurable and enjoyable sex life, whether that is with ourselves or with a partner/partners.
​
A specialisation of Emily's is supporting disabled folk to experience the sex and relationships they want to experience. Disabled folk for too long have been denied their sexuality, Emily still sees this today and it needs to change. You have the right to experience sex and relationships. Emily can provide sex education, sex therapy and specialised support for physical or sensory needs. Emily has experience working with a vast array of disabilities and a has particular interest in neurodivergence. Emily takes a person-centred approach and will cater each session to you and your needs. Emily not only works part-time in behaviour support for disabled folk but is also neurodivergent herself.
​
I also love to support young people. Our 20s and 30s are a time to explore sex, pleasure and relationships, but how do we do this when often we haven't been provided accurate comprehensive sex education nor the skills to communicate about sex? I see again and again in my clinic that women and AFABs have trouble with orgasm, desire, sexual confidence, and feeling sexy, they just don't know where to begin. I hear you and I have been there once before myself. We have been raised within a society that may not have allowed you to freely express yourself and explore your sexuality and it can take years to unpack this, unlearn the messaging and relearn sex positivity. Getting support one-on-one will guide you through this journey and allow you to reclaim your sexuality for yourself, experience more pleasure and cultivate sexual wellness.
​
Emily was raised on a farm in a small rural town so she understands the experience of navigating sexuality within a conservative society that doesn't talk about sex. This led to her having to unlearn society's harmful sexual scripts, ideas and values surrounding sex and she now guides people to do the same. Emily is here to support you to maximise your sexual wellness and sexual identity.
