Grace Alice | Sex & Intimacy Specialist

RSE & Me is a landmark Relationships and Sexuality Education programme based in Kerry, Ireland. It is delivered all over the county of Kerry and is continuously expanding into other counties. Workshops are delivered primarily in secondary schools, but also to national schools, Youthreaches and other education settings. The programme is the result of a collaboration between the Southwest Counselling Centre in Killarney and Sex & Intimacy Specialist Grace Alice Ó Sé.

Get In Touch

The Southwest Counselling Centre (SWC) had been delivering sex education to schools in Kerry and beyond for over a decade, building strong connections with teachers and parents each year. Grace began to work alongside the SWC in 2021, to update and deliver the sex education programme, now known as the RSE & Me programme. Grace now acts as the programme leader and coordinator.

The RSE & Me programme is underpinned by the following values: informed learning, critical thinking, kindness, empathy, sex-positivity, respect, age appropriateness and inclusivity. The programme offers workshops that are engaging and interactive, with many topics addressed including but not limited to; consent, communication, anatomy, puberty, pleasure, reproduction, STIs, protection, pornography and media literacy, body image, LGBTIQ+ identities and inclusion, healthy and unhealthy relationship behaviours, intimacy and boundaries. The workshops are delivered by experienced sex educator Meagan O’ Neill, and can be tailored to suit the needs and age range of your groups.

Testimonials for RSE & Me

"Staff and students who attended the workshops noted that Grace was incredibly knowledgeable and presented the information to all year groups in a clear and accessible manner. Students in particular noted that Grace spoke in inclusive language, which made everyone feel welcome and comfortable."
"Grace is always very professional, well prepared and able to handle any questions or concerns that students have in a very kind and caring way. In student evaluations of the workshops 100% of students would recommend the RSE workshop to other year groups."
"The workshops provided a safe environment for our students to learn and ask questions about topics that they are often fearful of addressing openly. Grace made sure to address topics that were relevant to the students' age and current life experience in a manner which ensured respect for each individual and our school ethos. All students and staff remarked that the information presented was relatable and engaging."
"I highly recommend these workshops to any school looking to provide their students with a positive and educational experience around relationships and sexuality. Grace’s expertise, inclusive language, and ability to create a safe and supportive environment made a lasting impact on our students."
"The reaction from students has always been very positive. Her workshops are age appropriate, very relevant, up to date with what is happening for these age groups in society with regards to RSE and extremely informative."
"The workshops were delivered in a fun and engaging manner which the students really enjoyed. Grace created a safe space which allowed students to participate, contribute and ask questions."
"Grace delivered online workshops to our students during Covid and the challenging nature of this did not deter Grace and her passion for delivering a grounded education in RSE. Her face to face workshops have always been excellent. She uses a number of relevant and varied resources and methodologies. I would highly recommend her services."
"The students were surveyed after the workshop and feedback was very positive. They all agreed that they had benefited from the workshop and appreciated the fact that they trusted Grace enough to ask questions. From an organisational point of view, Grace is excellent to deal with, so prompt in returning emails etc,willing to answer any queries you may have and very flexible in arranging a time that suits the school's needs...I highly recommend Grace and the tremendous work that she does."

Thank you, I'll be in touch soon...

Disclaimer

This service is fully limited to Sexuality Education. All advice is given in an honest manner and as guidance only. By using this service, you agree that you make your own decisions, relying solely on your discretion; any use you make of such answers, advice or services is at your own risk and ‘Grace Alice Sexuality Educator’ cannot be held responsible or be liable for any damages or losses resulting from your reliance on such answers or advice.

What is a peer-to-peer support session?

Firstly, let us start with what the session is not! I am not a practicing sex therapist, sexologist, medical professional, psychotherapist, psychologist, counsellor, or mental health professional. Therefore, I do not provide medical advice (although I may recommend that you seek guidance from a medical professional if appropriate) or a therapy service.

Sex & Relationships Education is a separate field to these professions, and I employ my own unique approach based on my qualifications, training, and experience. I hold an undergraduate degree in Occupational Therapy and a Masters degree in Health Promotion. I have over six years experience working as a Sex & Relationships Educator and have undergone continuous professional development and training. I also studied empathy education as a UNESCO scholar, which informs my approach. Details of my qualifications and training are available on my LinkedIn page – please see the ‘About’ page also!

Within a session, I offer a confidential and safe space for discussion of various issues relating to relationships and sexuality. I strive for a relaxed, informal vibe, where you can chat about something that you have been struggling with. I can offer a friendly and non-judgemental listening ear, suggestions on how you can approach your own personal situation, general information on the related topic(s) and details of relevant professionals, support services and organisations (usually in a follow-up email). I can accommodate sessions relating to many topics relating to relationships and sexuality – including but not limited to body image, sexual communication, consent and boundaries, protection, anatomy, vaginismus, porn, STIs and STI stigma, healthy and unhealthy relationships, gender and sexuality, pleasure, arousal, desire, infidelity, break-ups, dating, and more.  I want my clients to feel relaxed, comfortable, and free to talk without fear or shame, like they would with a very close friend!

How does a Booking work?

In a nutshell, you can contact me via the booking page on this site and request a booking. If I decide that a session with me would be a good fit for you, I will contact you and arrange a time and date!

Here is the pricing for sessions;

ServiceDurationCost
Standard Session1 hour€50
Student* Standard Session1 hour€40
   
*A valid student I.D. must be presented.  

Please note that the session must be paid for in full at least 24 hours prior to the session, using the payment method and details I will provide to you in an email. If you do not have PayPal, we can arrange another form of payment (Revolut or bank transfer – please factor in the extra time it will take you to set up an account if needed or the possible delay in bank transfers, this may slightly affect the scheduling of your session).

Due to the nature of this service, I cannot offer any refunds for any reason during or after a session.

However, if you have paid and can no longer attend the scheduled session, I can offer you a full refund if you notify me of the cancellation at least 48 hours beforehand. If you wish to reschedule, please notify me at least 48 hours before the time of the scheduled session, and we can work something out!

Am I guaranteed to have a session?

Imay choose not to do a session with you if I feel that I am unable to offer support or education relating to your situation. I will contact you to let you know if I have decided that my service is not a good fit for you, and I will offer some suggestions regarding more suitable professionals/organisations/services to contact.

Although we may chat about lots of different things during a session, if someone has clearly not been truthful in the booking form about the topic area that want to discuss and appear to have an ulterior motive in booking the session, I may choose to end the session. The same rule applies to a situation where someone is clearly not who they have stated they are in the booking form. 

I cannot offer sessions to anyone under the age of 18 years. I may choose to ask you to present a copy of a valid form of I.D. if I feel that confirmation of age is needed. Requesting to book a session indicates that you are aged 18 years or over, and that you are being truthful in disclosing your age.

If I feel that someone is being disrespectful, offensive, or inappropriate, and I feel uncomfortable, I may choose to end the session. I may also end the session if I believe that it is being recorded.

Is it all confidential?

Y

es! Confidentiality is essential to a service like this and I will do everything in my power on my end to protect it.

Here is what I will do on my end; I will abide by GDPR guidelines and make every effort to keep all personal information relating to sessions safe. Booking requests and emails with a form attached/included will be retained for no more than 1 year. The form may be printed, and I may take notes before, during and after the session either by hand or typed. Forms, notes, and USB key will all be stored in a locked file safe in my home office. All forms and notes (hard and soft copies) will be deleted and/or destroyed after one year.  I will send you a Zoom Meeting ID and password before the session using the email address you have given me. I will use headphones and will be alone in a private space during all sessions. All  records of calls and video calls will be deleted after one year.

Please be mindful of what you choose to share within the session. I have an obligation to break confidentiality and report to Tusla and/or the Gardaí any disclosures of child abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse and other crimes.

Here is what you must do on your end! You must not screenshot, record and/or distribute any part of your session. It is also your responsibility to protect your privacy as much as you like on your end. This may include keeping your phone password-protected, using a non-identifiable email address that does not include your name, deleting correspondence, making sure you have a private space for your session where you will not be interrupted or overheard, etc.
