The workshop
This course is intended for psychotherapists, counsellors and psychologists who may work with couples and individuals who present in therapy with relationship and sexual difficulties. Psychosexual concerns are often central to the presenting issues in therapy, yet often go unexplored. The aims of the course are to enable therapists to develop a level of comfort to assess and identify such problems. The course material focuses on the integration of knowledge into practice thus enabling conversations on key areas of sexuality or sexual difficulties. The course will also focus on the therapeutic tools and essential skills required to effectively support clients to deal with such complex matters. There will be a strong emphasis on practical skills, experiential learning and debate. 4 PSI CPD credits will be awarded for this event.
Sample of feedback from previous courses:
“A really informative important and topical series of workshops on Sexuality and Gender. A series of workshops every therapist should do”
“Demystifying psychosexual therapy; presented in an engaging and knowledgeable manner”
“Excellent workshop, organic, fun and made taboos very comfortable”
“Part of the challenge of working with the sexual aspect of clients’ lives is the lack of comfort/practice of the therapist. I have become more familiar with the language, but more importantly, I have become more comfortable with speaking about sex, both inside and outside the therapy room”
About the Workshop:
The workshop will be a mixture of information giving, experiential use of tools that might be used in the therapy room and recommendations for resources for clients.
The workshop will be an opportunity to explore:
- Why we as therapists need to talk more about sex
- Tools to use for assessment and exploration
- Female sexuality and common difficulties
- Male sexuality and common difficulties
- Porn as a presenting issue
- Couples, intimacy and sex
- LGBTQ+
- Fetish, meaning and counterculture
