About this event

Wondering about your clients neurodivergence in therapy?

Join us for this engaging workshop designed specifically for psychological therapists navigating the 'wonderings' and complexities of neurodivergence in the therapy room. This session will help you scaffold sensitive conversations about neurodivergence with your clients, and build your confidence broaching the subject where you feel it could be relevant.

We’ll address key challenges, including therapist uncertainty, managing client reactions, potential resistance, fear and stigma, whilst balancing an exploration of neurodivergence with the client’s therapy goals in mind.

Gain practical tools and insights to deepen your understanding and confidently support neurodivergent clients while strengthening the therapeutic relationship.

After an initial introduction, this consultation workshop will involve small-group case study work, and so places are limited to 16 - don't miss out!
