SEXUAL HEALTH SUPPORT

I have many years experience working in sexual and reproductive health for the British National Health Service (NHS) and the largest HIV and sexual health charity in the UK. 

 

I have worked as a Sexual Health Adviser and Specialist Sexual Health and HIV Counsellor, delivering new diagnoses of all Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) including HIV and Hepatitis and providing support, education and information about all aspects of sexual health. 

​

While your family doctor may be able to help you with the medical aspects of your sexual health, it is my experience that the emotional impact is often ignored.

 

If you find yourself worrying about any aspect of sexual health, I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to freely explore these sensitive issues.

​

I am an approved hormone and surgical readiness assessor with TransCareBC.
