Sexual Minority Therapy

From Pink Therapy -

Do you offer counselling or psychotherapy to lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender clients?
Are you confident that you have had sufficient knowledge and training to work competently with sexual minority clients?
Are you knowledgable about working with a wide range of gender and sexual minorities from different social, and cultural backgrounds? Intersectionality, shame, complexities of coming out are all crucial issues to be familiar with.

Pink Therapy would like invite you to undertake our well respected Six-day Essentials in Sexual Minority Therapy. This 3 weekend training programme is  BACP endorsed. It is also a core component to our year long Certificate in Sexual Minority Therapy accredited by the Middlesex University (we still have a couple of places left for this Sept 2011 intake, interview dates have been set and so please contact us soon if you want to join the programme).
The Essentials program includes:
Sat 22 Oct: Contemporary Models of Sexual & Gender Diversity - with Dominic Davies & Lyndsey Moon
Sun 23 Oct: Developing Models of Sexual Minority Therapy - with Dominic Davies & Lyndsey Moon
Sat 19 Nov: Working with Shame and Internalised Oppression - with Tim Foskett

What previous participants said about this training:

"This course really has been ESSENTIAL to my personal and professional development as a gay man and a counsellor to Gender and Sexual Minority clients. What a bonus to find a group and space where I belong."
"It will underpin the work I am currently doing..."
"It's good to have the opportunity to explore those issues, be challenged but also affirmed."
"I would like to encourage more heterosexual therapists to come along."

This is an intensive learning experience and there will be extensive guided pre-course and post course reading which is optional and encouraged.
