Sex and intimacy are central to many people’s wellbeing – yet they’re often left out of therapy conversations. In this practical and affirming training, Nina Booysen guides clinicians through the essential skills and confidence needed to sensitively assess and support clients in this area of their lives.
Designed for health professionals working with adult clients, this training explores the intersection between psychological health, trauma, and sexual wellbeing. You’ll learn how to safely and respectfully bring these topics into your clinical work, reduce stigma, and deepen the therapeutic alliance.
What We’ll Cover:
✅ Why sexual health matters in mental health care
✅ How to ask about sex and sexuality (with inclusive, open language)
✅ Recognising red flags and when to screen
✅ Working with trauma, neurodivergence, and comorbid presentations
✅ Unpacking myths, stigma, and clinician discomfort
✅ Your ethical role in supporting pleasure, safety, and intimacy
