About us

COSRT (the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists) is the UK's professional body for therapists and counsellors specialising in psychosexual and relationship therapy issues.

We work to help improve experiences and outcomes of those facing relationship and psychosexual challenges.

Our activities centre on developing and maintaining high standards of professional practice through standards setting, training, research and dissemination of knowledge - all to enable sexual and relationship therapists to provide the most effective therapeutic treatments to the public.

You can find out more about therapy at our website www.cosrt.org.uk as well as details of the range of CPD training that we deliver and accredit, and a detailed Therapist Register covering our member therapists.
