The first step to becoming GSRD Knowledgeable

LIMITED SPECIAL OFFER £20

ENTER CODE: DEFINING20

What do we mean by GSRD Therapy? What skills and knowledge do I need? This free module is a great place to begin your engagement by upskilling your knowledge to work with Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversities. It contains my latest thinking on what makes for a GSRD Therapist and some demonstrations of GSRD therapy in action.

It will also help you audit your knowledge and where the gaps might be, which could be used to inform you on where to direct your CPD path next.

This module is structured similarly to our other online modules, with a mixture of carefully curated guided reading, some videos as well as supplementary reading. 

At present, this module on limited special offer so there is no assignment to submit; typically you'd have a few questions to help you demonstrate you've read and understood the material and can apply it to your life and practice.
