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.
