Introduction to Working with Neurodivergent Clients
Build a practical foundation for working more confidently with neurodivergent clients on this introductory course.
Neurodivergent clients can often find accessing therapy very difficult, with many struggling to relate to traditional interventions and feeling misunderstood by their therapist. Traditional therapeutic interventions don’t always recognise a neurodivergent way of communicating, nor do they consider their sensory or processing needs.
This introductory course helps counsellors and psychotherapists develop a more informed, affirming and flexible approach to working with neurodivergent clients.
What we'll cover:
- An in-depth exploration of the most common Neurodivergent presentations.
- Current diagnosis process + the impact of diagnosis stage in therapy.
- The impact of masking + how to help clients unmask.
- Discussing accessibility needs for attending and participating in therapy.
- Challenging assumptions and stereotypes.
- Practical tips and interventions for Neurodivergent clients.
