Who are we
The British Association for Sexual and Relationship Therapy (BASRT) is a national charity which has been established for over thirty years.
Our 750 members provide sexual and relationship therapy for thousands of people every year who are suffering from very personal difficulties in their closest relationships. BASRT members offer a range of treatments encompassing sex therapy, psychosexual therapy and relationship therapy. These are all talking therapies where an individual or couple work with an experienced therapist to assess and treat their sexual and/or relationship problems. Together they will identify factors that trigger the problems and design a specific treatment programme to resolve or reduce their impact. You can find out more about our therapy here.
BASRT sets and maintains professional standards for the profession, through the accreditation of practitioners, the approval of training courses, a Code of Ethics and Complaints Procedure thus offering protection to the public. We also offer continuous professional development through seminars, conferences and our international, peer-reviewed journal. On our website you can find lots more information including a list of therapists.
We welcome new members from a wide range of disciplines and you can find out more about how to join BASRT here.
