General Registration with Society of Australian Sexologists
Casey is an Australian Registered Sexologist with the Society of Australian Sexologists. Casey has a background in psychotherapy, treating clients with complex trauma, disability and sexual health issues.
Using her wealth of experience from leading teams, mentoring university students and working therapeutically with clients for over 8 years, Casey has developed this professional development course with both staff and clients in mind.
So often, well meaning staff are unable to support their client’s to the best of their ability due to this missing piece of education. Utilising Casey’s real world experience and the latest research in the disability and sexual health field, the learners will gain insights to their own values, their client’s values and have a clear direction to support the sexual health needs of people with disabilities.
