Book Krish Phua as a Speaker for Your Event. Talks for Conferences, Companies, Schools & Communities.

Not your average speaker

Krish Phua is a psychological counsellor, lecturer and trainer, a certified sexologist and engaging international speaker. Krish has over a decade of experience working with international clients in Singapore and Switzerland.

Krish’s expertise covers some of the most relevant and challenging issues of our time: sexuality and intimacy, couple and family relationships, mental health, trauma, addiction, and LGBTQIA+ inclusion.

As a former lecturer, Krish knows how to create talks that are interactive, thought-provoking, and never dry. Audiences describe his style as authentic, approachable, and at times refreshingly humorous — the kind of voice that invites people to lean in rather than tune out. His talks always leave participants with something practical to take home, whether it’s a new perspective, a communication tool, or a way to reflect differently on their own lives.

Fresh, relevant, and thought-provoking topics

Here are some examples of talks that connect directly to today’s challenges in workplaces, schools, and communities:

  • Digital Intimacy & Real Connection – How dating apps, porn, and online communication shape our expectations of relationships.

  • Addiction in Disguise – From social media to substances: how everyday habits can slip into dependency, how to spot early signs, and how to respond with compassion.

  • Love, Sex & Identity at Work – Navigating workplace romances, inclusion of LGBTQ+ employees, and what “psychological safety” really means when it comes to intimacy.

  • When Stress Turns into Trauma – Understanding how unprocessed stress impacts performance, learning, and wellbeing — and what leaders, teachers, and parents can do to support recovery.

  • Mismatch in Desire – A candid talk about unequal sexual needs in couples and how communication (not avoidance) transforms relationships.

  • Chemsex & Hidden Communities – Why this growing trend matters beyond nightlife, what risks are involved, and how schools, companies, and health organisations can raise awareness without stigma.

  • Families Under Pressure – How expectations, cultural norms, and generational gaps affect couples and kids — and what creates resilience in modern family life.

Every talk is tailored to your audience

Every talk can be adapted to your context: a keynote, a workshop, or an interactive discussion where the audience shapes the conversation.
