Welcome to the London Diploma in Psychotherapy and Relational Healing

For many years Judi Keshet-Orr and Bernd Leygraf ran the "leading training provider in the field" of psychosexual therapy (External Examiner 2024) - a pioneering programme which graduated several thousand therapists all over the globe.

Now in 2025 they are widening their scope to offer generic psychotherapy training, albeit with some psychosexual input: a substantive two-year training in psychotherapy and relational healing. This offers not only a stand-alone course but also acts as a conduit to approved training in psychosexual and relationship therapy.

If you are interested in joining this profession and are relatively new to it, contact us for an informal discussion.
