Neurodiversity & Trauma: Creative Psychotherapy to support Young People

Working with children and young people who are both neurodiverse and impacted by trauma can be deeply rewarding - but also complex. This training offers therapists practical, creative, and compassionate approaches to psychotherapy that honour difference, build safety, and empower young clients.

What to Expect

This is not a passive, lecture-style event. You will be invited into an engaging, experiential learning space where theory and practice come together. Expect to:

• Take part in creative, body-based activities that can be directly applied in your own practice
• Explore case examples that bring the theory to life and highlight real-world therapeutic challenges
• Gain hands-on tools and techniques you can use straight away with children and young people
• Reflect on your own therapeutic style and how to adapt it to better meet diverse needs
• Leave with a renewed sense of confidence and inspiration, knowing you are better equipped to support neurodiverse young people living with trauma

What You Will Gain

• A deeper understanding of the intersection between neurodiversity and trauma
• Insight into how trauma can uniquely impact neurodiverse children and young people
• Practical, creative therapeutic strategies to support expression, connection, and healing
• Tools for adapting your practice to meet sensory, communication, and emotional needs

Who is it for?
