Sexual and Gender Affirming Healthcare
Because we even have sexual rights too
Sexuality is a central aspect of being human. Sexual health is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease or dysfunction.
Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.
Sexual Health includes the following pillars:
-
Positive Experience: A positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships.
-
Pleasure and Consent: the importance of pleasure, consent, and the ability to make informed choices.
-
Access to Information: Individuals should have access to comprehensive sexual education that promotes understanding of sexual rights, responsibilities, and health.
-
Healthcare Access: Access to appropriate sexual healthcare services, including prevention, treatment, and education regarding sexually transmitted infections (STIs), contraception, and reproductive health.
-
Respect for Diversity: Recognizing and respecting diversity in sexual orientation, preferences.

Neurodivergent Affirming and
Mental Healthcare
Because we cannot do health care without mental health care
Dr Chili is passionate about mental health and has a niche interest in neurodiversity- affirming health care. Neurodivergent affirming practice is a therapeutic approach that recognises neurodivergence as a natural part of human diversity. It is based on the idea that conditions like ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia are normal variations in the human condition.
A neurodivergent affirming approach has the aim to support overall wellbeing, not “normalise” neurodivergent folks at the expense of their emotional, physical and psychological well-being.Neurodivergent affirming healthcare recognises and respects the unique lived experiences and needs of neurodivergent individuals. It prioritises accessibility, and informed choice, accommodates sensory and communication differences, and fosters environments where neurodivergent people can feel understood, supported, and empowered.
Differences are not deficits that need to be “fixed”.
