There are two direct pathways to qualifying as a psychosexual and relationship therapist with CICS.
This pathway is for applicants who are not yet qualified as a counsellor and who want to specialise in psychosexual and relationship therapy early in their therapy career.
This route starts with our two-year part time Diploma in Pluralistic Psychotherapy, which provides the training to qualify as a general counsellor, (SCoPEd Framework Column A), before moving onto our two-year, part-time specialist Diploma in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy.
If you are already a CPCAB Level 4 qualified counsellor, BACP Registered Counsellor, UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, BPS Accredited Psychotherapist or a Psychiatrist you can directly access our two year, part time specialist Diploma in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy.
Both Pathway 1 and 2 leads to Registration with the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists.
This is a post qualifying course for COSRT Registered Psychosexual and Relationship Therapists who are working towards COSRT Accredited Membership. See our course page for more details.
If you are already a qualified counsellor, or equivalent, with a formal training in couples therapy, or you are a medical professional, and you want to incorporate psychosexual therapy into your practice, you can apply to our Psychosexual Therapy Certificate course to learn how to work with psychosexual themes in your work. Note: This course does not lead to formal qualification as a psychosexual therapist or registration with COSRT.
