A specialist CPD workshop for counsellors and psychotherapists
The relationship between neurodiversity and developmental trauma is often complex, layered, and easily misunderstood in therapeutic work.
Clients may present with emotional dysregulation, sensory overwhelm, attachment difficulties, relational rupture, shame, masking, or a longstanding sense of difference or disconnection. At times, neurodivergent experiences and trauma responses can become intertwined in ways that are difficult to separate, yet deeply important to understand.
This specialist CPD workshop is designed for qualified counsellors and psychotherapists who want to deepen their understanding of how neurodiversity and developmental trauma may interact, and how therapy can support experiences of safety, repair, and relational healing.
This workshop offers a reflective and clinically grounded exploration of the intersection between neurodiversity, early relational experience, and developmental trauma.
Together, we will consider how unmet needs, chronic misunderstanding, invalidation, attachment disruption, and trauma may shape a client’s internal world, relational expectations, emotional regulation, and sense of self — particularly where neurodivergence has gone unrecognised, unsupported, or pathologised.
The training will also explore the concept of repair within therapy, and how the therapeutic relationship can offer a space for greater safety, attunement, understanding, and integration.
