Training on sexual and relationship diversity
How often do you meet themes you do not hear about often in your work – but would like to learn more about? There are several ways in: on my focus areas I offer half-day online formats, for example on kink and BDSM, on consensual non-monogamy, or on talking about sexuality. I deliberately keep the groups small.
The formats invite you to take part: you can go deeper into a theme and form your own new picture of it. They are not supervision, though – there is a separate offer for that.
Depending on the theme and the setting, tailored talks also grow out of this, from my specialist field of relationship and sex therapy – for professional conferences, associations or companies. More on that further down.
Who this is for
- Clients tell you about practices you only know from the media – and you want to judge more confidently what belongs in the treatment
- Open relationships and polyamory come up in your cases, and you want a map for case understanding instead of a gut feeling
- You notice that you steer around sexual themes even though they have long been in the room
- Your team meets these themes every day – then the training comes to you
- You are planning a conference or a training series and are looking for a speaker
- You want to bring your knowledge of sexuality and relationship diversity up to date
- You teach at a university and want to give students practical knowledge that hardly appears in the curriculum
The online formats
Half a day online (about three hours), in a small group. 180 € per person – on-site sessions and talks on request.
The online formats currently run in German – English on request. Talks, expert sessions and on-site formats are available in English as well.
Further formats are in preparation – for example on dealing with affairs. I announce new dates and themes here.
Kink, BDSM and fetish in practice
What actually happens in these practices and preferences? Which terms do your clients use, which problems do they talk about – and how can you tell whether this is consent or violence?
Next date: Tuesday, 10 November 2026, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (CET)
Consensual non-monogamy and polyamory
Open relationships are on everyone’s lips. Here you can learn how agreements can be made that work for everyone – and how to work with that in your practice.
Next date: Wednesday, 2 December 2026, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (CET)
Talking about sexuality – without squirming
If sexuality only comes up at the edges of your work and you would still like to feel more confident: how to raise sexual themes yourself, and which words you can use without ending up embarrassed. Lots of practice, little theory.
Next date: Tuesday, 12 January 2027, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (CET)
Talks, expert sessions & more
Further themes from my daily practice and my focus areas are equally available as on-site sessions, for example for counselling centres, group practices or teams in clinics. I tune the content to your needs beforehand – and to the questions that matter for your team right now.
For schools and other educational settings I also prepare themes around relationships and sexuality – age-appropriate and fitting the context.
On top of that come expert sessions, talks and specialist contributions for professional conferences, association events, university seminars and training series. I explain complex themes of sexuality without jargon and without flattening them – in front of a professional audience just as much as in front of cameras.

Frequently asked questions
I am currently looking into registering for continuing education credits with the chamber of psychotherapists. Whether an event carries credits will be stated in its announcement.
Small enough that we can work together – usually up to twelve people, depending on the theme. The exact size is announced beforehand.
The half-day formats cost 180 € per person, or by arrangement for a group. On-site day rates and speaking fees depend on the organisation and the scope. All prices are final prices – as a small business under § 19 of the German VAT Act (Kleinunternehmerregelung) I do not charge VAT.
On the one hand I am confident that I can help you – on the other, it depends on what interests you. If you have points of contact with relationships, sexuality and relationship diversity in any way, this can be worthwhile for you. And if your themes lie elsewhere, do get in touch: I also offer support with building and marketing your practice – here is that offer.
Yes. All formats are available on site, in person or online – tuned to your team and your clientele. Write to me and we can have a short call.
A theme missing here?
Write to me about what your team or your training series needs – much of it can be tailored or combined. I will also tell you honestly if I am not the right person for it.
