Understanding neurodiversity
A 3-hour online workshop for Talking Therapists,
Complimentary Therapists, Body workers, & Health Professionals.
Did you know that 1 in 7 of us are neurodivergent? But what does that really mean—and how might it show up in our work as practitioners and therapists? Neurodivergent traits can often be overlooked, misunderstood, or misdiagnosed, so it's essential that as practitioners we learn to recognise the signs and understand how they may impact both our clients and our approach to practice. This 3-hour online workshop is designed to unpack some of that in a safe, open, and inclusive way, so you can be more confident and inclusive with your patients / clients.

Our workshop provides an introduction to neurodiversity and how to recognise, understand, and work inclusively with neurodivergent clients. The aim is to provide essential insights and practical strategies for creating an inclusive practice.
