The Centre for GENDER PSYCHOLOGY
Founded in 1996 by Helena Løvendal and Nick Duffell, the centre promotes realistic change, through counselling, therapy and workshops, in the everyday lives of men, women and families in areas that really matter and which are least understood and sometimes hard to manage without informed support .
What we offer
- State-of-the-art couples counselling and relationship therapy, in north central London (and to those with access to the London area), specialising in Creative CoupleWork, an effective way of assisting couples in intimate relationships and blended families to heal and develop their full potential.
To support individuals in their personal growth – especially their capacity for intimacy – we offer a public programme of gender workshop groups for Women and Men only, staffed by experienced facilitators, in north central London and in beautiful residential locations.
For psychotherapy professionals we offer training, CPD and specialist supervision in the field of identity, relationships and sexuality, including how these relate to spirituality, and state of the art couples counselling. For more information please see here.
Customised programmes such as organisational development and mentoring, in-house training and facilitation.
A selection of publications.
Our approach
We aim to integrate the best of Western psychotherapeutic theory and practice, including recent developments in neuroscience and neurocardiology, with the wisdom of indigenous peoples in order to find solutions to pressing issues of our times:
How can men and women harness their complementary differences and step into co-creativity for a better world?
What does it take for women and men to appreciate and be proud of their differences at the psychosocial and psychospiritual dimensions?
How can men and women learn to cultivate lasting and creative partnership?
How can relationships achieve durable and potent intimacy?
How can we safely guide the next generations to become grounded and aware sexual humans?
