An Overview of Sex Therapy
New Zealand · CPD courses & CPD points · Health Professionals
Sexual concerns are a common and often under-discussed part of clients' lives, with many individuals facing barriers to treatment due to stigma or lack of accessible support. In this engaging and informative CPD session, experienced sexologist and psychotherapist Catriona Boffard provides a practical and evidence-based introduction to the field of sex therapy. This session explores the definition of sex therapy, common sexual dysfunctions and issues encountered in clinical practice, and the therapeutic models and approaches most commonly used. With a focus on clinical relevance, it equips psychologists with the confidence to recognise, respond to, and support clients experiencing sexual concerns, while also addressing essential ethical considerations in this sensitive area of work.
