Sex positivity to me entails fostering an environment where individuals can freely and without fear of judgment explore and express their sexuality. I focus on promoting awareness and understanding of diverse sexual orientations, identities, and practices, while emphasising the importance of consent, respect, and safety in all sexual interactions. In my practice and life, I advocate for comprehensive sex education that is inclusive of all genders and sexualities, and encourages discussions about pleasure, intimacy, and relationships in a supportive and non-discriminatory manner. I hope to dismantle stigma, understand context, and empower my clients to have more agency, with informed choice about their bodies and sexual health.

Allyship is more than just offering passive, queer ‘friendly’ support. It involves actively engaging in conversations and advocacy outside of the therapeutic space. My clients’ stories mean the world to me, and it is my utmost honour, and responsibility to witness, and hold them. I focus heavily on keeping myself informed about the issues affecting the community, as well as consistently learning/unlearning. Being an ally to me, is a commitment to consistent education, self reflection, and recognition.

One can often think that our brain's job is to keep us happy, but what it really works towards is keeping us safe. Safety is the first thing to go right out of the window after one has survived sexual violence of any sort. To me, the outcome of trauma therapy should look like reinstating bodily, social, and mental safety. It should enable survivors to understand themselves, their responses better, and to have spaces where their stories can be witnessed, and to find ways to reclaim their lives.

It is an incredibly non-judgemental, and holding space. I often call therapy a 'safe-enough' space, and not a completely safe space, as some of the things we speak about in therapy can be volatile, scary, and uncomfortable. However, in a session with me, I am very reassuring about the fact that my clients do not have to traverse uncomfortable pathways on their own. I also focus on a lot of psychoeducation, as it is a pillar for trauma informed therapy in my opinion. My practice has been very de-colonial in it's nature, I do not shy away from using techniques that might be shut down by theories laid down by white therapists/practitioners, but work well for my clients. A session with me is not devoid of joy, holding, and containment.
