Sex & Porn Addiction Workshops & Professional Training
Specialist workshops for recovery, betrayal trauma, and professional development
Sex and porn addiction can have a significant impact on individuals, partners and relationships. It can also be a complex area for therapists and other professionals to work with confidently.
We offer specialist workshops for people affected by sex and porn addiction and betrayal trauma, alongside professional CPD training for counsellors, psychotherapists and other practitioners.
Our workshops and training are available in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, with some support also available online across the UK.
Workshops for Individuals, Partners & Couples
Our therapeutic workshops provide a structured space to step away from day-to-day pressures, understand what is happening and begin working towards recovery.
They may be suitable for:
You do not need to be in counselling already to attend a workshop.
A Different Kind of Support
Workshops offer something different from weekly counselling or an ongoing support group.
Having dedicated time to focus on one particular area can help people understand what they are experiencing and begin connecting the different pieces of their recovery.
Depending on the workshop, this may include:
-
Psychoeducation about addiction, trauma and recovery
-
Guided reflective exercises
-
Understanding triggers, patterns and behaviours
-
Emotional regulation and grounding techniques
-
Practical recovery strategies
-
Small-group discussion
-
Space for questions and shared understanding
There is no expectation to disclose personal information or share more than feels comfortable.
Betrayal Trauma Workshops for Partners
Discovering hidden sexual behaviour, pornography use, affairs, or repeated deception can have a profound emotional impact.
Our Partners Workshop: Healing After Betrayal provides a supportive and structured environment for partners experiencing betrayal trauma.
The workshop explores areas including:
-
Trauma responses and hypervigilance
-
Managing overwhelming emotions
-
Understanding triggers
-
Emotional regulation and grounding
-
Reconnecting with your own needs
-
Boundaries and emotional safety
-
Reducing isolation and self-blame
-
Beginning to think about recovery and what comes next
The focus is not on making decisions about whether a relationship should continue. It is about helping partners feel more informed, supported and emotionally grounded.
Workshops for Sex & Porn Addiction Recovery
Understanding why sexual behaviours continue despite negative consequences can be an important part of recovery.
Workshops focusing on sex and porn addiction may explore:
-
The addiction or compulsive behaviour cycle
-
Triggers and patterns
-
Shame and secrecy
-
Emotional regulation
-
Repeated sexual behaviours
-
The impact on partners and relationships
-
Recovery strategies
-
Relapse prevention
For some people, a workshop is their first step towards seeking support. For others, it complements individual counselling or ongoing recovery work.
Professional Training for Therapists & Practitioners
We also provide specialist professional training for counsellors, psychotherapists and other practitioners working with clients affected by sex and porn addiction, compulsive sexual behaviour and related relationship difficulties.
Clients increasingly bring concerns about pornography use, compulsive sexual behaviour, secrecy, disclosure and betrayal into the therapy room. These presentations can be complex, particularly when the therapist is working with an individual while also trying to understand the impact of their behaviour on a partner or relationship.
Our professional training draws on our clinical experience of working with individuals, partners and couples affected by these issues.
Professional Training for Therapists & Practitioners
We also provide specialist CPD training for counsellors, psychotherapists and other practitioners who want to develop their knowledge and confidence in working with sex and porn addiction and out-of-control sexual behaviour (OCSB).
Clients may bring concerns about pornography use, compulsive sexual behaviour, secrecy, shame, disclosure and relationship difficulties into the therapy room. Practitioners may also find themselves supporting partners experiencing betrayal trauma or working with couples trying to understand the impact of hidden sexual behaviour.
Our professional training draws on our clinical experience of working with individuals, partners and couples affected by these issues.
Training may explore areas including:
- Understanding sex and porn addiction and OCSB
- Assessment and formulation
- The cycle of compulsive sexual behaviour
- Shame, secrecy and disclosure
- Working with triggers and relapse
- The impact on partners and relationships
- Betrayal trauma
- Supporting recovery
- Clinical considerations and therapeutic boundaries
Our CPD training is suitable for practitioners who already encounter these issues in their work as well as those who want to develop a specialist understanding of this area.
