Overview

Welcome to the Institute of Psychosexual Psychotherapy, where we offer a comprehensive and accredited Diploma in Psychosexual Psychotherapy.

This program is designed for qualified talk therapists seeking to specialise in psychosexual and relationship psychotherapy, equipping you with the advanced knowledge and practical skills necessary to excel in this vital field of psychotherapy.

Accreditation

Fully accredited with COSRT at Level 7. Upon completion, graduates gain entry to both the Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy (PRT) and Relationship Therapy (RT) COSRT register—conferring the right to practice as both a Psychosexual Therapist and Relationship Therapist.

Comprehensive Training

Delivered part-time over two years through 20 weekend modules (Sundays and Mondays, 10am–5pm). Psychosexual medicine and dysfunction modules are delivered by medical doctors and highly experienced clinicians. Relationship therapy modules are integrative, including CBT, Humanistic, Psychodynamic, and Systemic approaches.

Teaching Approach

Teaching weekends focus on theoretical frameworks and evidence-based practices through lectures and discussions, combined with hands-on skills practice (role plays, case studies, and group work).

Guest lecturers bring specialist expertise across psychosexual therapy, relationship therapy, sexual medicine, and psychology (including domestic violence, gender/sexuality/relationship diversity, sexual offending, sexual compulsivity, trauma-informed practice, neurodivergence, intersectionality, and EDI).

Advanced Training

Diploma graduates can progress onto the Psychotherapy Practitioner Diploma. Successful completion, along with post-qualifying clinical practice and COSRT accreditation, leads to full clinical membership with the UKCP.

Attendance

Two modes of attendance: online or in person. The online programme is open to international students and UK students who require online attendance.
