CPD Relationship and Psychosexual
CPD Relationship and Psychosexual: Continuing professional development (CPD) is important for relationship and psychosexual therapists because it ensures you continue to be competent in your profession. It is an ongoing process and continues throughout a professional’s career.
- CPD ensures your capabilities keep pace with the current standards of others in the same field.
- CPD ensures that you maintain and enhance the knowledge and skills you need to deliver a professional service to your clients and the community.
- CPD ensures that you and your knowledge stay relevant and up to date. You are more aware of the changing trends and directions in your profession. The pace of change is probably faster than it’s ever been – and this is a feature of the new normal that we live and work in. If you stand still you will get left behind, as the currency of your knowledge and skills becomes out-dated.
- CPD helps you continue to make a meaningful contribution to your team. You become more effective in the workplace. This assists you to advance in your career and move into new positions where you can lead, manage, influence, coach and mentor others.
- CPD helps you to stay interested and interesting. Experience is a great teacher, but it does mean that we tend to do what we have done before. Focused CPD opens you up to new possibilities, new knowledge and new skill areas.
- CPD can deliver a deeper understanding of what it means to be a professional, along with a greater appreciation of the implications and impacts of your work.
- CPD can lead to increased public confidence in individual professionals and their profession as a whole.
Depending on the profession – CPD contributes to improved protection and quality of life, the environment, sustainability, property and the economy. This particularly applies to high risk areas, or specialised practice areas which often prove impractical to monitor on a case by case basis.

They’re not just for Relationship and Psychosexual Therapists either. Diversity and difference presents itself in every therapeutic relationship, so our Masterclasses are relevant for therapists of every modality, whether you’re newly-qualified or have years of experience.
