Holistic Approaches to Perinatal Pelvic & Sexual Pain for Perinatal Professionals

Wednesday February 11th - 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Irish Time - Takes Place Via Zoom and hosted by The Perinatal Mental Health Institute

Includes Certificate of Attendance, Access to Recorded Version and All Resources Mentioned in the Training - €20

How many of your clients navigating the transition to parenthood are silently struggling with pelvic or sexual pain—unable to find the words or courage to bring it into the therapy room? These conditions are far more common than most therapists realize, yet they remain wrapped in shame and silence, profoundly impacting mental health, relationships, and the transition to parenthood.

This 90-minute training will transform how you recognize, discuss, and support clients experiencing vaginal, vulvar, and pelvic pain conditions during the perinatal period. You'll gain the language, confidence, and clinical tools to open conversations that could be life-changing for your clients.

Whether you're supporting individuals or couples, this training equips you to recognize when pelvic pain is affecting your client's presentation, offer sex-positive therapeutic support, and guide them toward comprehensive, multidisciplinary care.

What You'll Learn:

·       Understanding stigma and silence surrounding pelvic and sexual pain conditions

·       Why awareness is crucial for perinatal therapists and providers

·       Meeting unique needs of women with pelvic pain conditions

·       Multidisciplinary approach to sexual wellbeing and rehabilitation

·       Common female sexual dysfunctions including vaginismus, vulvodynia, and GPPPD

·       Integrative and holistic treatment approaches and interventions

·       Empowering clients to become strong self-advocates

·       Supporting both clients and partners through these challenging experiences

·       Discussing sex and sexual dysfunction with confidence and a sex-positive approach

Postgraduate Diploma in Relationship Psychotherapy 2026/2027

Anonymous global survey on Generative AI in mental health (5–7 minutes)

Dear colleague,

Hope you are well.

As generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools become increasingly visible in mental healthcare, it is vital to understand how they are actually being used — and viewed — by clinicians.

We invite mental health professionals worldwide (psychotherapists, psychologists, counsellors, psychiatrists) to complete a short, fully anonymous online survey (5–7 minutes) on experiences and opinions regarding generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini, as well as ambient voice technologies (e.g. Nuance Dax) in clinical practice.

This study is led by an international research team based at Uppsala University (Sweden), the University of Basel (Switzerland), and Missouri State University (USA), with collaborators across Europe and North America (Sweden, Germany, the USA, Canada, the UK, and Ireland).

The survey is entirely anonymous and collects no identifying information.
It is distributed via professional and academic networks only and is not shared on social media platforms.

Your insights — whether you actively use these tools, are cautiously exploring them, or have reservations — will help inform ethical guidance and professional discussions on the responsible use of generative AI in mental healthcare.

Trauma Training

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level 1
(Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute)

May 2026, Dublin, Ireland

Do you struggle to help numb, disconnected clients who can’t feel emotion or explore inner experience? Do your clients get ‘stuck’ in overwhelming emotions and self-destructive behaviours rather than resolving their trauma?

Do you believe that the body holds the living legacy of trauma? but that you lack the skills to address the somatic effects of painful past experience?

Traditional psychotherapy addresses the cognitive and emotional elements of trauma but lacks techniques that work directly with the physiological elements, despite the fact that trauma profoundly affects the body, and many symptoms of traumatised individuals are somatically driven.

This 78-hour training equips therapists to make sense of the symptoms and issues of traumatised clients and work with them more effectively. Understanding how trauma is remembered and equipped with interventions that speak directly to how post-traumatic issues are driven by the body, you will discover new and deeper ways of helping clients resolve the traumatic past.
