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.
