Sarah Peart, Brisbane-based sexologist and sex therapist providing sex education in schools and adult sexology workshops.

  • I’m Sarah Peart, a Clinical Sexologist and Sexuality Educator with an MSc in Clinical Psychosexology, alongside degrees in Psychology and Sex Education.

    I strongly believe that sexual wellbeing is an important part of overall quality of life, throughout ALL of our life.

    I have experience working in schools, delivering community workshops, and supporting individuals and couples in therapeutic settings. Across all of this work, my focus is the same: helping people build healthier, more confident relationships with their sexuality and intimate lives.

    I am a member of the European Federation of Sexology, the British Psychological Association, the International Psycho-Oncology Society. With research experience and further trainings in sex therapy, I have also contributed to publications on sexual health through writing for the BBC, Sex Education Blogs, and charity webinars.

  • I believe that sexuality is a skill. And like any skill, it can be learned, developed, and made your own.

    No one is born knowing how to navigate sex and relationships confidently. Whether you're an individual seeking personal support or a professional looking to deliver better sex education, my role is to meet you exactly where you are.

    My work person-led, meaning your needs, questions, and goals shape everything. I'm empathetic and genuinely unshockable - there is nothing you could bring to a session or classroom that would surprise or faze me. Together, we build a practical toolkit you can keep using long after our work together ends.

    For sex therapy, sessions are talk-based with exercises and reflections to try in your own time. My first priority is to create comfort. From low desire, kink and healthy relationships, to identity, first experiences and boundaries - this is a space where every question is welcome.

    Within the class room, I provide age-appropriate information. Engaging, fun activities set the tone for what relationships should look like in the future, whilst giving young people the resources they need to make safe and healthy decisions.

  • Within a therapeutic setting I work with adult (18+) individuals and couples with various questions surrounding their sexual wellbeing. Sessions are in English and can be in person in Brisbane, or online internationally. Find a full list of my specialities here.

    In schools across Brisbane, I provide interactive sex-education workshops to young people between 11 and 18 to ensure they have the knowledge and skills to keep themselves safe, happy, and comfortable.

What are you looking for?

Sex Education

I deliver relationship and sex education programs for schools, youth organizations, and community groups.

Sessions focus on providing accurate, inclusive, and evidence-based information in a way that encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and respectful discussion.

Topics I cover include:

  • consent and healthy relationships

  • contraception and STIs

  • porn literacy and media influence

  • puberty and anatomy

  • gender and sexuality

  • masculinity and misogyny

With years of experience working with young people through youth work and educational settings, I work to create fun and comfortable spaces where questions can be asked openly and without shame.

I specialize in working with children with additional learning needs, including young people with autism, ADHD, and down syndrome.

Sex Therapy

Sex and intimacy can feel complicated. Many people struggle with desire differences, performance anxiety, painful sex, or feeling disconnected from their partner.

As a clinical sexologist, I offer evidence-based, shame-free therapy to help individuals and couples understand their sexuality and build more satisfying intimate lives.

I commonly support clients with:

  • low or mismatched desire

  • pain during sex

  • sexual anxiety or shame

  • intimacy and communication in relationships

  • getting back to intimacy after illness or life changes

  • first time experiences

  • polyamory

  • arousal issues

  • difficulties due to neurodivergence

How to book a session

Workshops

Sex education shouldn’t stop when we leave school. Many adults never had access to comprehensive, inclusive, or pleasure-focused information about sex and relationships. I offer workshops designed to create open, thoughtful conversations about sexuality, intimacy, and wellbeing. These sessions are educational, non-judgmental, and tailored to the needs of each group.

I have delivered sessions in a variety of spaces including:

  • self-care and wellbeing workshops

  • yoga and wellness studios

  • women's health events and festivals

Topics can include:

  • feminist perspectives on sex and pleasure

  • parental sex-ed support

  • kink, BDSM, fetish

  • navigating mismatched libido in relationships

  • porn, media, and sexual expectations

  • body image and sensuality

I’ve taught over 4,000 young people about consent - here is why the MAFS Panorama Documentary is part of a bigger problem.
I’ve taught over 4,000 young people about consent - here is why the MAFS Panorama Documentary is part of a bigger problem.

In the UK, the cup of tea video is considered the gold standard. It's honestly a great starting point but it's also the bare minimum. The gaps in how we talk about rape, sexual assault, and what a real "yes" actually looks like have been exposed, painfully and publicly, by the stories coming out of MAFS this week.

Look at Your Vulva. No, Really. Look
Look at Your Vulva. No, Really. Look

The research on this is pretty clear: cis women who have a positive relationship with their genitals report higher self-esteem, better sexual wellbeing, and greater body image satisfaction. Women with poor vulva self-image experience more sexual distress, lower desire and arousal, and more pain during sex. How you speak about and feel about your body, even down to a specific body part, has real, measurable effects on your pleasure and your health.

Why I Tell Couples to Stop Scheduling Sex … And What to Do Instead!
Why I Tell Couples to Stop Scheduling Sex … And What to Do Instead!

What some couples find is that they start to look forward to it. Having a date in the calendar, or on the fridge, can create a sense of anticipation not unlike the early days of dating. You begin to look forward to that dedicated time together, and that anticipation itself can spark arousal.

However, getting caught up in the pressure of the marked calendar and putting pressure on someone who is not in the mood is going to do much more harm than good…

The 5 Gear Theory
The 5 Gear Theory

The 5 Gear Theory is a model to help people understand each other’s arousal and preferences throughout sex. It was originally developed by Brian and Emily McCarthy in 2003 as a structured script to give couples a shared language of arousal and intimacy. As sexologists, we use a varied version of the metaphor to help clients understand how sex is not only affection and penetration, but a movement up and down throughout various activities and phases that all bring pleasure.

On the ‘gram

My sex-ed work account saw it first but who doesn’t love crochet anatomy?! These have been the best for making anatomy talks in schools a bit more interactive, and for explaining the more intricate details of our bodies in sex therapy more comfortable. A hot topic in my teenager sex ed classes has definitely been 🔵 blue balls 🔵 (maybe my colour choice hasn’t helped there). It’s honestly a myth with better PR than cottage cheese. What actually helps: ✅ Waiting (arousal leaves, discomfort leaves, everyone moves on) ✅ Handling it yourself if needed ❌ Using it as leverage on another person (this has never been valid, not once, not ever) Let me know what I should crochet next 🧶🫶 #sexeducation #sextherapy

I refer to Sensate Focus regularly. Although not perfect, it has the bones of a very useful and effective technique for a whole range of issues. I’ve finally taken the time to write up properly how I use the 60 year old activities in my more modern and inclusive work. Including making penetration completely optional, focussing on yourself before your partner, and making it A LOT less heteronormative. For a full breakdown of the steps and its uses, you can find the article in my bio 🔗🧡
I always offer a free 15 minute consultation to new clients or anyone enquiring about working with me. This month I’m offering that in person in Cardiff at @womb.sanctuary I’ll have tea, and probably some chocolates. Come and ask me all the things you’ve been wanting to ask 🫶 More info or book you space through link in my bio 🔗

The moments after sex are actually peak bonding time. But most of us are rolling over and reaching for our phones. Aftercare isn’t just a kink thing, it’s for everyone. When oxytocin is flooding your system, your nervous systems are shifting back to ‘rest and digest’, and your heart rates are starting to synchronise - these are the moments when connections are strengthened. Research has found that affection in this time window changes how satisfying sex feels overall - average sex is rated as significantly better. So maybe you don’t need better sex, you might just need better aftercare. The full guide (including practical tips on what to actually do in those moments) is on the blog.

Thank you so much to @womb.cic for inviting me to speak on Pleasure after Parenthood 🤰💕 This festival was full of love, kindness, empathy, and hope for a better future for women and parents. It was such a nourishing and beautiful environment with some of the most inspiring people I have ever met - from talks on Wombs of Resistance by Palestinian Activists to rethinking menopause and reproductive justice - I can’t wait to see what all of these incredible people continue to do. We are so lucky to now have @womb.sanctuary where all of this work (and more) can continue. Plus a fantastic space for regular yoga classes designed around your cycle 🩸🧘
