Episode 18 – Let’s Talk About Sex With Dr Sakshi Tickoo

Conversations about sex with those we work with can at times be a tricky one to navigate. It is however an occupation most human beings engage in at some point in their lives and therefore is important that Occupational Therapists are able to work with this when it arises in practice. In this episode, I discuss all things sex with Dr Sakshi Tickoo. Dr. Sakshi Tickoo (she/hers) is a new grad Occupational Therapy practitioner, Personal Counsellor, and Student Mentor working in school-based, home healthcare, and telehealth settings for over a year now.

She's also the founder of Sex, Love, And OT which is aimed at educating healthcare students/professionals and serving people who seek Sexuality, OT and Mental Health services.
