Besides my clinical and biomedical background, I have a graduate diploma in psychology (Monash University) and a Master of Medicine specializing in Sexual Health, HIV and STIs (The University of Sydney). I work as a sexologist in Gold Coast, Brisbane and Online. I am an Accredited Clinical Sexologist Member of the Society of Australian Sexologists Ltd (SAS). I adhere to the Society’s Code of Ethics and Practice. I am also a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association Inc.

I received my Doctor of Medicine (MD) in 2002. After a few years of general practice, I joined Griffith University in 2006 to pursue my dreams in Medical Research which awarded me a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in 2011. My main area of research in the field of sexology is focused on "Sexual Performance Anxiety, Oro-genital sexual practice and oral cancer".In my practice, Ariana Sexology, I work with individuals and couples of any sexual orientation on a short or long-term basis. I work with clients to recognize what their issues really mean to them. I then use this information to help them create a healthier sexual life and relationship as we advance. I am a proud supporter of LGBTQIA+ clients and their families. I treat loving couples, families, and transgender people with the dignity, respect, and affirmation they deserve.In my sex therapy practice, I use integration and application of a number of evidence-based strategies such as "solution-focused approach", "Person-centred approach", and "Cognitive-behavioural therapy", where I help my client to understand, manage and change their thoughts (cognitions) and actions (behaviours). I believe that people know themselves best and want to find a solution quickly. Although sexual concerns and difficulties are built over time, I assist them in working towards a solution as the best outcome.My experience and speciality in human sexual behaviours, feelings, and interactions allow me to practice passionately in many fields such as Libido, Desire, and Arousal Discrepancy; Male and Female Sexual Dysfunction, Disorders, and Variations; HIV and STIs Counselling; Couple Therapy and Counselling.
