Welcome to The London Diploma in Psychosexual and Relationship Counselling now entering its fifth successful year. This two-year part time/modular training programme is approved by the British Association for Sexual and Relationship Therapy (BASRT).


Class of 2009
The Class of 2010/11.

The aim of the programme is to provide education, training, and an interactive/experiential learning in a dedicated environment which develops, supports and inspires practitioners to work with couples and individuals presenting with psychosexual and relationship puzzles and problems. The programme acknowledges the diversity and multi-faceted nature of our society and is designed to support practice which has integrity and is respectful, challenging and life enhancing.


After successfully completing the course students will have gained a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of psychosexual development, the anatomy and physiology of the sexual relationship and sexual dysfunction, relational issues and stages of development. Also included in the course will be clinical assessment, treatment strategies, working with diversity, Imago, survivors of abuse, cybersex, cultural contexts and an understanding of integrative therapeutic approaches involved in the process of offering psychosexual and relationship counselling.


Successful students, post the award of their Diploma, will, after having acquired the essential number of clinical hours be able to apply to the British Association for Sexual and Relationship Therapy for accredited status.


They will be equipped to work in either the statutory or voluntary sectors, or as an independent practitioner in the field of psychosexual and relationship counselling.


The course is hosted from premises on the Regents College campus in Central London, and the next starting date upon which places are available is January 2011, for which we we will be accepting applications from February 2010.

 
  
 
 
'The course leaders Judi and Anita provided the perfect setting to gain what we needed to become practising PSRT. No matter what background we each came from, support was given if we needed it with placements. The external tutors were brought in who were leading specialists in their field. The tone of the lead tutors is another fact making this course so great. They are both leading psychosexual therapists and they share with you all they have learnt over 30 years, as well as letting us know what may be challenging as new psychosexual therapists. Good teachers that inspire their students to be the best. There isn't another course like this in England that successfully combines sex and relationship therapy together, led in this particular way. It is flexible, supportive, as well as informative.'
