The Many Shades of Couples Therapy and Working with Sex and Sexual Dysfunction
with Peter Thompson

Exploring Sexual Dysfunction in Couples Therapy
Sexual dysfunction in couples therapy is one of the most delicate and often avoided areas — yet it holds huge potential for healing and connection. In this recorded CPD webinar, Peter Thompson brings his extensive experience as a psychotherapist and sexology mentor to help therapists work more confidently with sexual concerns in the therapy room.
The session is divided into two parts: the first explores the wide range of dynamics and personalities couples may present with; the second focuses specifically on sex and sexual dysfunction in relational work. Through clinical insight, grounded case vignettes, and a refreshingly honest approach, Peter invites therapists to engage with this topic in a more open and attuned way.
What You’ll Learn
This training offers insight into:
- The “many shades” of couples therapy — from healthy conflict to manipulative dynamics
- How to distinguish character-based conflict from deeper structural issues
- Addressing fear of intimacy, disempowerment, and trauma as underlying issues
- Understanding sexual dysfunction in couples therapy: language, framing, and treatment possibilities
- Opening up conversations about sex without shame, discomfort, or avoidance
- Encouraging couples toward positive, healthy sexual connection
Peter also shares case examples to bring the material to life, with time for Q&A and discussion woven into the training.

”Sexual issues are rarely about sex alone, they're about connection, vulnerability, and the body in relationship.
