Join Dr Joe Kort for his live CPD workshop and discover how to transform your skills!
Live In Manchester: 1 May 2020
Join in for this breakthrough workshop to develop core competencies and transform your skills to achieve better therapeutic outcomes.
- Avoid the top mistakes therapists make
- Become the go-to LGBTQ therapist
- Be on top of the up-to-date language and terms
Are you making the biggest mistake of treating your LGBTQ clients? Are you pushing them to “come out”? And if you are…you could be traumatizing your clients.
Like you, I made the same mistake early in my career of forcing my clients to name and claim their sexual identity.
Like you, I didn’t know how to ask them about their sexual practices. And when I tried, I offended them.
Immerse yourself during my workshop and I will equip you with the right tools and up-to-date information you need in this rapidly changing population to more effectively counsel your lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning clients, and couples.
