My Experience 

I started delivering training while working in HE as a way of promoting and sharing inclusive practice across the organisations I worked in. I love doing deep dives into areas of interest and the opportunity to explore and discuss what I learn with others enriches this. (I'm sure it's why I spent so long as a student).

In my private practice I have delivered sessions for a range of organisations including counselling organisations, schools, universities, charities and networks. I have also presented at a range of conferences including those run by BACP, Pink Therapy and Onlinevents. 

If you're interested in booking me to deliver training for your organisation, you can find out more and book an initial chat here.

A guided reflective session for practitioners who wish to explore what it means to be a neuro-affirming practitioner.

 

Because of the breadth of experiences found under the neuro affirming umbrella, it is impossible to provide a proscriptive list of what you 'should' and 'shouldn't' do. Instead this workshop will invite attendees to develop a neuro-affirming mindset that will allow them to be responsive to the changing needs of clients regardless of neurotype.

 

The session will include a comprehensive workbook with reflective prompts which attendees will have the opportunity to begin completing in the session through small group discussions and/or quite reflective spaces depending on their learning preference.

 

Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event
  • Understand how neuro-normative expectations are showing up in their practice.

  • Develop a fluid and responsive approach to providing neuro-affirming support that meets clients changing needs.

  • Understand how your own needs may limit the types of support you are able to provide and how to articulate this with clients.

 

Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?
  • Therapist

  • Coaches

  • Mentors

  • Mental Health Practitioners

  • Anyone who wants to explore what it means to be a neuro-affirming practitioner

 

How May This Workshop Impact Your Practice?

Two Spirals Masterclass

A one day masterclass on the Two Spirals Model of Neurodivergent Wellbeing developed by Louise Lucas.

 

Over the course of the day you will learn about all aspects of the two spirals model and how it can integrated into your practice supporting neurodivergent individuals.

 

We will start by taking a closer look at the model, the two spirals it contains and the relationship between them.

We will explore how client internal and external contexts impact how we might use the model in our work with them. This will take into account intersectional identities and the role of systemic oppression.

 

We will then look at the three strands of Knowledge, Understanding and Acceptance which can be woven together in our work to support clients to move away from the shame and blame that fuels the downward spiral to burnout and towards the kindness and compassion which can support a balanced and sustainable life.
