Feeling comfortable with and knowledgeable about sex
and sexuality is something many therapists feel they
lack. When it comes to understanding more about
minority sexuality then there is often a significant
gap in most therapists knowledge.
Our weekend workshop, now in it's third year, seeks
to fill that gap and increase your confidence and
knowledge in this area. The workshop is on 17 & 18
February.
Like all our training events we have endeavoured to
make the training times as convenient at possible to
people coming from outside of London, starting as we
do at 1pm on the Saturday, and on the Sunday running
a regular 9.30-5.30 day. We can even recommend a
cheap and local B&B!

Following a successful keynote presentation at their
last Annual conference, the Counsellors and
Psychotherapists in Primary Care (CPPC) has invited
Dominic Davies to present a 'masterclass' on working
with sexual minorities in London on Friday 26 January.
The training event is open to Non CPPC members,
although is substantially discounted to their own
members.

We've flagged this one up a month or so ago, but in
case you missed it, the Royal College of
Psychiatrists have written some treatment guidelines
for working with people presenting with 'gender
dysphoria'. The document has taken about three years
to come to fruition and is now out for consultation.
If you work with trans clients, please download a
copy of the document from our website and either
comment directly to the RCP or send us your feedback
and we will incorporate it into our own response.
There are some really good proposals in the
guidelines, but little consideration has been given
to the position of independent therapists such as
ourselves and to how we may contribute to the care
pathway of our trans clients. Given the increasing
numbers of trans clients who are seeking independent
gender therapy, then this needs to be addressed.
Please share your views.

Thanks for your interest and support, and if YOU have some news to share which is directly relevant to therapists working with sexual minority clients, then please let us know.
With all good wishes for the year ahead!
