Objective

Leanne Yau is a British #sex-educator, #content-creator, and trainee psychotherapist known for founding Polyphilia, a leading multimedia platform dedicated to Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM) and queer relationship dynamics. Yau specializes in "bite-sized" education that translates complex relationship theories—such as Relationship Anarchy and the "Relationship Escalator"—into accessible memes, videos, and essays. A bisexual, neurodivergent, and Asian creator, she explicitly centers intersectionality in her work, challenging the predominantly white and heteronormative narratives often found in mainstream polyamory discourse.

Yau began practicing non-monogamy at age 17 to navigate a long-distance relationship, a lived experience that informs her peer support services and her advice column in Gay Times. Her platform is particularly noted for its critique of "unicorn hunting" and its advocacy for Kitchen Table Polyamory, a communal approach where partners and Metamours (partners' partners) maintain friendly connections. She hosts the Happy Polydays podcast and has been recognized as a top relationship expert by publications including Cosmopolitan and Men’s Health. Currently, she is completing training to become a qualified psychotherapist, bridging the gap between social media advocacy and clinical practice.
