Working with Neurodivergent Clients

Series of 2-hour online evening CPD workshops

For TA students and practitioners.

About the Workshops

An in-depth exploration of working with neurodivergent clients: the course will look at the common themes and challenges that neurodivergent people bring to therapy. The workshops will provide a broader explanation and discussion of the cognitive strengths and challenges of working with neurodivergent clients.

All the sessions have plenty of room for discussion and reflection.

They will be delivered in an open and relaxed format where you will be encouraged to join in. This is an evolving area of research and there are still many unknowns.  This course will equip you with a tool kit to confidently manage working with neurodivergent clients.

• Have a broad understanding of neurodiversity.
• Will understand diagnoses.
