Experienced counsellors know that the client on the spectrum finds any relationship a challenge, and relating to the counsellor is no exception. This one day interactive event will alert counsellors to the needs and thought processes of clients on the autistic spectrum and offer tips for improved practice and better outcomes with this group.

Topics will include

· A real difference - what neuroscience tells us

· Implications for counselling - aims and methods

· Links with other medical diagnoses

· The impact on you, the counsellor
