Leanne Yau is a British 🏷️#sex-educator, 🏷️#content-creator, and trainee psychotherapist, and the founder of 📝Polyphilia, a multimedia platform dedicated to 📝Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM) and queer relationship dynamics. She is known for bite-sized education that translates complex relationship theory into accessible memes, videos, and essays.
Yau began practicing non-monogamy at 17 to navigate a long-distance relationship, experience that informs her peer-support work and her advice column in Gay Times. Her platform is noted for critiquing "unicorn hunting" and advocating 📝Kitchen Table Polyamory, a communal model in which partners and 📝Metamours stay connected, while she translates frameworks such as 📝Relationship Anarchy and the 📝Relationship Escalator for a broad audience. A 🏷️#queer, 🏷️#neurodivergent creator who is bisexual and Asian, she centers intersectionality, hosts the Happy Polydays podcast, has been cited as a relationship expert by outlets including Cosmopolitan and Men's Health, and is training to become a qualified psychotherapist.
I keep Leanne in the library as the anchor of its consensual-non-monogamy education cluster — most of those threads trace back to her work at Polyphilia.
