Workshop Title: Sexology in Practice: Working Competently and Confidently with Sexual Health, Dysfunction and Intimacy in the Therapy Room Date: 16 January 2027Time: 10am - 4:45pmLocation: Portlaoise - Midlands Park Hotel, Jessop Street, Portlaoise, Co. Laois, R32 KV20
Facilitator: Orlagh ReidCPD: 6 CPD hours
Workshop Cost: €80 for IAHIP Members€190 for General Admission
Refreshment and lunch are included in the cost
Sexual health, intimacy concerns and sexual dysfunction are common presenting issues in psychotherapy practice, yet many therapists report limited formal training in sexology and sexual health. In Ireland, cultural influences, religious history and gaps in comprehensive sex education have contributed to silence, shame and uncertainty around discussing sex openly — both for clients and clinicians.
This one-day CPD training aims to equip psychotherapists with the knowledge, language and clinical confidence required to ethically and competently address sexual health and intimacy issues in the therapy room.
The training integrates humanistic and integrative psychotherapy principles with clinical sexology, offering practical tools, reflective practice, and a bio-psycho-social informed framework for working competently with sexology in counselling and psychotherapy.
