Do you ever sense that some of your neurodivergent clients aren't getting what they need from therapy — even when you're doing everything "right" by the models you were trained in?
This training is for therapists and mental health professionals who want to work more neuroinclusively and neuroaffirmatively, and who recognise that traditional therapeutic approaches often need thoughtful adaptation to genuinely serve neurodivergent clients. It's been co-produced with Maria, Lorna and Felix — neurodivergent members of our Neurodivergent Parent Space community — and draws on extensive clinical experience alongside up-to-date research in the field.
We'll start with a grounding in neurodiversity, then move into what the ND community themselves say about their experiences of therapy, including where it's fallen short. From there, we'll look at how to formulate distress through the lens of the neurodivergent experience, and introduce ACCEPTED — a practical model for adapting your therapeutic work — followed by time for your questions.
Led by Dr Lauren Breese, Clinical Psychologist, who has spent over fourteen years working in the NHS, including in the National and Specialist Adult Autism and ADHD Psychological Therapy Team, and now works primarily in private practice specialising with neurodivergent people of all ages. She has taught at the Royal College of Psychiatry, Royal College of Paediatrics, and ACAMH, and trained professionals at the IoPPN, KCL, Newcastle, and The School of Life.
This is a space to sharpen your practice, take away tools you can use in your very next session, and connect with the growing community of practitioners committed to doing this work well.
This is a 2.5 hour training webinar for practitioners, recorded live on 4th February 2025.
Do you ever notice that the perinatal period can look quite different for your neurodivergent clients — and wish you had a clearer framework for supporting them well through it?
This specialist training is for practitioners working in perinatal mental health, therapy, and support services who want to deepen their understanding of neurodivergence across fertility, pregnancy, labour and birth, early parenthood, and the earliest days of bonding with a baby. Each of these stages can carry particular sensory, emotional and relational demands, and neurodivergent traits can shape the experience in ways that are often missed or misread in standard care.
We'll explore how those traits interact with the perinatal journey — the genuine challenges that can emerge, but also the real strengths neurodivergent parents bring — and share practical strategies for offering more inclusive, sensitive psychological support. Whether you're new to this intersection or already working in the field, you'll leave with insights and tools you can apply directly in your practice.
Led by Dr Siobhan Higgins, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Parent-Infant Psychotherapist, alongside Dr Jo Mueller, Clinical Psychologist. Both bring specialist clinical experience supporting neurodivergent women, birthing people and their families through pregnancy and early parenthood.
As with all our training, the session is neuroinclusive by design, with adjustments in place for neurodivergent practitioners attending.
This is a 2.5 hour recorded training webinar for practitioners, recorded live on 18th September 2025.

Do you ever leave a session with a neurodivergent child or young person feeling like your usual approaches aren't quite landing — and wishing you had a clearer sense of what would?
This webinar is for psychological therapists, psychiatrists, and allied health professionals who work with children and young people, and who want to feel more confident adapting their practice for neurodivergent clients. Working across autism, ADHD, learning disabilities and other learning differences often calls for creative, flexible approaches — and even experienced clinicians can be left unsure where to start.
If you've found yourself wondering whether you're doing enough to connect, how to genuinely meet sensory, emotional or communication needs, or how to bring parents and caregivers meaningfully into the work, this session is designed for you.
We'll cover practical, evidence-based adjustments you can use straight away: communication tools that build understanding and trust, tailored techniques for emotional literacy and regulation, sensory-informed approaches to shaping the therapeutic environment, and ways to collaborate effectively with families so progress continues outside the room. Whether this area is new to you or something you're looking to deepen, you'll leave with concrete tools rather than general principles.
Led by Dr Siobhan Higgins, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Senior Clinical Tutor and Module Lead at the IoPPN, King's College London, where she teaches and supervises mental health professionals on adapting psychological therapy for neurodivergent children, young people and parents. Alongside her CAMHS experience, Siobhan has specialist background as an early years therapist across under-5s, neonatal and perinatal settings.
