Programme Overview
The NAOS Institute has been at the forefront of sex and relationship therapy training since 1989, when Bernd Leygraf and Judi Keshet-Orr collaborated to establish the UK's first Masters programme in this discipline.
Together, Bernd and Judi (and faculty colleagues) have consistently set the standard in this field. They have graduated around 2,000 practitioners in over 40 countries worldwide, having been described as "the leading training provider in the field" (External Examiner 2024).
In 1990, with the support of Prof Albert Singer, Judi Keshet-Orr and Bernd Leygraf collaborated to establish the largest psychosexual and relationship clinic in Europe, staffed by their own trainees, within the NHS.
In 2025, having admitted 50 new trainees to the London Diploma, the joint work of Judi and Bernd came to a close. Bernd, together with a refreshed faculty and course directorship team, continues this work through the NAOS Institute.
The NAOS Institute and the London Diploma have trained psychosexual and relationship therapists to the highest standards for over three decades. More than two thousand of the currently accredited UK clinicians are graduates of their courses.
