A high impact intensive 6-day training, blending self-directed distance learning with live and participatory skills training, designed for professionals seeking to expand their psychosexual and relationship counselling skills. It is particularly intended for counsellors and psychotherapists to deepen their understanding of the co-morbidity of organic and non-organic presentations. The programme is open equally to qualified social workers and clergy.

Couples’ therapists may particularly benefit from the programme to enhance their specialised knowledge base.

  • Prepares established professionals in applying a multidisciplinary approach to the knowledge and understanding of sexual function, identity, cultural norms and expression and working colaboratively.
  • Explores ways of effectively collaborating with medical professionals to coordinate and identify strategies, undertake assessments, become familiar with protocols, and to allow for onward referral as appropriate.
  • Course participants will be provided with an extensive course manual comprising preparatory material, journal articles, power point presentations and resource guides. The in-class teaching seminars offer opportunities for skills practice, case studies and live supervision.
  • The 6 day course offers participants the opportunity to either, upon completion of the course, to achieve a Certificate of Attendance or if they choose to submit a 3500 word research project the full PG Certificate in Psychosexual & Relationship Therapy award.
