Sexual Health Practitioners

 

 

Students in Sexology (CSHP Members)

 

One of the CSHP's main functions is to protect the new profession in South Africa of Sexologists, Therapists of Sexuality & Counsellors of Sexuality as Category A members.There are also other professionals in related professions such as medical doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, ministers, teachers, lawyers etc. Sexual health is not their main profession but within their profession they are experts in sexuality. Their own professional board cannot protect them within their profession's constitution and code of conduct, but the CSHP can and the CSHP do if they are registered Category B members.
