Working Therapeutically with Neurodiversity
QLS LEVEL 5 DIPLOMA

This practical, neuro-affirming course is designed for qualified counsellors working under supervision who want to enhance their skills and understanding when working with neurodivergent clients.
Training will take place over 3 weekends and will help you:
- Understand neurodivergence from diagnostic, functional and lived experience perspectives
- Explore how anxiety and trauma commonly show up in neurodivergent clients — and how to respond in ways that heal, not harm
- Learn how to adapt your counselling approach to meet individual needs and sensory preferences
- Build a strong, strengths-based foundation for neuro-affirming practice
- Feel more confident supporting clients who may have found therapy inaccessible or invalidating in the past
- Delivered by practitioners with both lived experience and extensive professional expertise
You’ll leave this course with a deeper understanding of what neurodivergent clients want from therapy, along with practical tools and insights you can immediately bring into your work.
