RESEARCH INTERESTs
Areas of academic interests are
1. TRANSCULTURAL sexual health - how to support, guide and promote healthy sexuality and sexual health for immigrants. Often culture is mentioned as a dimension or determinant of human sexuality and sexual behaviours but what it means in a real-world setting and clinical practice is still not very clear. My interest is in deconstructing the relationship between CULTURE and SEXUALITY and how this knowledge could be used to promote sexual health at an individual and at a community level.
2. Sexuality education and training for healthcare professionals who are not specialised in the field of human sexuality/sexual health.
Areas of clinical expertise and interest
1. Sexual dysfunctions in general with special interest in vaginismus
2. Addressing sexual problems, whether it be cause or consequence, of sub-fertility
