We're an organisation working to 'Open Eyes and Free Lives from the damaging impacts of pornography'. 

That means raising awareness of the harms of porn through education in schools, churches and communities, as well as running 'recovery programmes' for individuals and couples impacted by porn use. You can find out more about us and our work at www.nakedtruthproject.com

This training is intentionally positioned as a foundational CPD day, not a specialist diploma. It aims to:

• Build confidence, awareness, and ethical sensitivity around pornography and sex addiction in general practice settings.

• Offer a strong base for those who may later pursue multi‑day diplomas or accredited specialist programmes in this field.

Participants can expect a trauma‑informed, non‑shaming learning environment that invites self‑reflection on personal values, biases, and assumptions, fostering clearer, more compassionate therapeutic responses. 

Participants will explore:

• Psychological, relational, and neurological dimensions of compulsive sexual behaviours and pornography use.

• The impact of problematic porn use and sexual compulsivity on partners, families, and relationships.

• Assessment considerations, risk awareness, and when/how to refer on for specialist help.

The day blends teaching input, reflective practice, and applied discussion so that learning connects directly with participants’ real‑world client work

This one‑day CPD training is designed for:

• Qualified counsellors and psychotherapists.
• Counselling trainees in placement or nearing qualification.
• Practitioners in charities, community settings, and general counselling services who are likely to encounter pornography or compulsive sexual behaviours in their work.

The day offers a grounded, accessible introduction to working with pornography and sex addiction in clinical practice, helping practitioners respond ethically and confidently when these issues arise in the therapy room.
