What this training supports

I offer training for professionals, teams and organisations who want to develop neuro-affirming, accessible and psychologically informed practice. Training is grounded in clinical experience, emerging evidence, and lived understanding, and is designed to support meaningful change rather than surface-level awareness.

Training can be delivered across health, social care, education and third-sector settings, and is adapted to the needs, roles and contexts of those attending.

Core focus areas

Training may include a broad, foundational focus, such as:

• Understanding neurodivergence through a neuro-affirming lens
  
• Creating accessible services, environments and pathways
  
• Moving beyond stereotypes and checklists toward depth and formulation
  
• Recognising strengths, needs and environmental fit
  
• Supporting wellbeing rather than enforcing conformity
  

Or a more targeted, bespoke focus, shaped around professional or service need, including:

• Clinical intersections such as autism and trauma, psychosis, burnout and complex mental health presentations
  
• Adapting psychological therapies for autistic and neurodivergent people, including:
  
  • CBT
    
  • CAT
    
  • EMDR
    
  • Integrative and counselling-based approaches
    
• Sensory, relational and communication considerations in clinical work
  
• Working ethically with masking, identity and late identification

How the training is shaped

Training is not delivered as a fixed package. Content is developed collaboratively, taking into account:

• the setting and service context
  
• professional roles and levels of experience
  
• existing strengths and challenges
  
• opportunities for real-world application
  

The emphasis is on practical relevance, reflective thinking and clinical confidence, supporting participants to integrate learning into everyday practice.

What participants often value

Feedback frequently highlights:

• increased confidence in working with autistic and neurodivergent people
  
• deeper understanding of how to adapt existing skills and models
  
• greater clarity around formulation and decision-making
  
• a shift from “doing adjustments” to thinking differently about practice
  

The aim is to support learning that continues beyond the training itself.
