Hello there,my name is Richelle Menzies and welcome to my Clinical Sexology practice Sensual Potential.

As you look around this website you will find ORANGE words will take you directly to that information while GREEN words will link you to external further information or clips.

Sensual Potential will support you to explore and reach your own sensual potential on many levels: mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, information on these can be found under the INFORMATION page. The WELL BEING page has information on keeping sexually safe and issues that may arise regarding your sexual expression. There are many great books, websites, forums and other professionals out there that you will find information on at the RESOURCES page.

We are all sensual/sexual beings from birth to death, I am here to support people to remain active for as long as they wish and to experience erotic pleasure in all its many forms.My goal is to support everyone to explore and hopefully reach their sensual potential and to increase their sexual well being. I am sex positive and have a particular interest in working with diverse identities, relationships and lifestyles (Queer, poly and kink), information on this can be found under the DIVERSITY page. Find a great little cartoon explaining sex positivity here.

Sensual Potential aims to provide useful information, links, readings and fun things to keep sensuality alive in your life.

Counselling services will be unavailable until I complete my study to become a Clinical Sexologist in 2018, but I will be delivering education sessions, providing guest speaker presentations and occasionally conducting workshops, with new, interesting and quality information added constantly as I continue my journey, you can find out whats on or what I offer at the SERVICES page.

Who is Richelle?

I am a sex positive woman who is passionate about sensuality, sexuality, sexual well being, the LGBTIQ community and supporting people to remain sensual/sexual beings for as long as possible. I have been passionate about sexuality and diversity since 2001 and worked in the field of sexual wellbeing since 2005. I have worked at a Women's Health Service, delivered sexuality education in schools with Family Planning QLD (now TRUE), designed and delivered sexual health, drugs and Blood Borne Virus education for adults at QLD Injectors Health Network (QuIHN) and professional development as a State wide Training Coordinator around LGBTIQ cultural awareness and inclusive workplaces and service provision with QLD Aids Council (QuAC). I have had presentations accepted at numerous conferences on the projects I have been involved in and have been asked to present both at QLD and interstate LGBTIQ conferences.

I am a lifetime member of the QLD AIDS Council (QuAC), a member of the Sexual Health Society of QLD (SHSQ) and a committee member of the QLD branch of the Society of Australian Sexologists (SAS).

I am currently studying my Masters in Sexology and this site is a place to host reliable information and links to wonderful websites. This site will grow as I come across more information through my studies which will be completed in late 2017.

What is Sexology?

Sexology is the scientific study of sex. Clinical Sexologists have usually undertaken postgraduate studies in either Sexology or Sexual Health and offer psychosexual therapy, sexological education or sexuality research, I will be offering therapy, education and workshops in my practice here at Sensual Potential. I hope by then you will all have come to know this site as the place to find quality information and that you will have developed trust in my ability to support people to achieve their sensual potential.
