A Voice for Change: My Advocacy in HIV Awareness
​
My journey with HIV has not only been a personal transformation but also a professional crusade. Being open about my HIV status, coupled with my academic background in sexual counselling, I have become a recognised voice in the field.
I regularly contribute to conferences, write editorials for major publications, and appear on podcasts, TV, and radio shows, sharing insights that bridge communities and foster understanding.
​
Beyond speaking engagements, I'm actively involved in board committees of leading HIV organisations, shaping campaigns and services to broaden their impact. I've also pioneered innovative podcast series and conference sessions designed to connect HIV communities with medical professionals and bring our stories to a wider audience.

Transforming Challenges into Triumphs: My Journey with HIV and Sexual Wellbeing
​
Living with HIV for over a decade has deeply shaped my understanding of the intricate challenges associated with sexual dissatisfaction and insecurities. For years, these struggles cast a shadow over my life, until I embraced them—leading to profound and unexpected breakthroughs.
​
This journey marked the beginning of a sexual renaissance for me. I emerged not only happier but imbued with a newfound confidence that transformed my relationships and my sense of self. The ability to communicate openly and honestly about my desires brought a unique satisfaction and fulfillment to my sex life that I had never known before.
​
Inspired by this personal transformation, I committed myself to the field of sexual health and wellness. My goal is to empower others to experience similar awakenings, providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore and articulate their needs and desires.
​
I firmly believe that a healthy approach to one’s sexuality is vital for overall mental health. Everyone deserves a fulfilling and satisfying sex life, and I am here to help guide you toward that.
Why Me?
Sexuality is an expression of your vitality. Sexual disorders and problems often burden deeply – they greatly affect our joy of life and our relationships. In our lived and fantasized sexuality, our deep-seated and unconscious motives, ideas, and conflicts are reflected. In our sexuality, what we cannot consciously process often expresses itself involuntarily.
From an early age on, I recognized the importance of therapy and counseling. Experiencing my father's incarceration during my teenage years to confronting my own HIV diagnosis, my past experiences and the therapies that followed have not only shaped my empathy but have also taught me the transformative power of seeking support.
These experiences have shaped me - and created a desire to help others. I offer counselling services to address sexual insecurities, problems and disorders - or simply challenges in your dating and relationship life. I am dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges and emerge stronger and more empowered.
