This session explores creative ways to support neurodivergent clients using Louise's two spiral model of neurodivergent wellbeing

In this sessions we’ll focus on creative ways to support neurodivergent clients wellbeing based on Louise’s two spirals model of ND wellbeing. This model has been developed over time through a mixture of Louise’s work with neurodivergent clients, her own lived experience as a multiply neurodivergent human alongside her professional and academic knowledge. This model focuses on a move away from blame and shame through kindness and compassion to support clients to stay out of burn out and find balance.

​

We will think about different creative approaches that could be used to support clients understanding of their own neurodivergent wellbeing and what can impact it to move up or down the spirals. This will include considering the potential barriers that neurodivergent clients might experience to some creative approaches, dependent on how their neurodivergence shows up for them. We will also think about how we can approach this work in a way that is affirming for all neurotypes and aligns with the values of the model.
