Sex Therapy Training for Kitty
Donation protected
My name is Katherine Stokes, a.k.a Kitty May, and I’m a sex educator and therapist based in Berlin, Germany. I recently got accepted to the University of Guelph’s Intensive Sex Therapy Training Program, which takes place in Ontario, Canada at the end of May this year.
This is a wonderful opportunity to advance my skills, which comes at the perfect time in my career. Between fees, travel, accommodation and required books, participating in this training will cost 2500€. I’m able to pay 500€ — I need your help to get the next 2000€!
I have until the 4th of May to raise the funds.
Why Sex Therapy?
I believe in everyone’s right to a thriving, healthy sexuality - and I believe that sexual wellbeing has a positive impact on individuals and on society as a whole.
Sadly, the world can be a pretty sex-negative place. Inadequate sex education, experiences of sexualised violence and pressures from the media are just some of the forces that may limit our ability to understand, nurture and enjoy our sexuality.
In my workshops, I've witnessed the growth, joy and healing that can come from speaking openly about these topics. As a trained counsellor, I also recognise that there’s a great need for people to go deeper, within the safety of a 1-1 therapeutic relationship.

The Course
In January of this year I got my Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie license, allowing me to offer psychotherapy in Germany, and I’ll be starting my private practice this summer. This course will provide my first formal training in sex therapy, and will help me to integrate my knowledge as a sex educator and my person-centred counselling skills.
Ongoing professional development is very important to me, because I am committed to supporting people to the very best of my ability. Completing this training, I will learn advanced skills, theoretical models and information that I can immediately use with clients.
The University of Guelph has a strong reputation in this field and its intensive Sex Therapy Training Program has a unique format. The taught portion of the course is delivered during 1 week, allowing existing practitioners to gain a foundation in sex therapy in a short period of time.
