ADHD in The Therapy Room – A Neuro-Affirming Approach

“This course offered invaluable lived experience, deepening my understanding of the challenges faced by people with Autism.

The delivery was well-paced, and Mark’s insights—along with the panel discussion—were especially helpful and brought real-life depth to the training.

Aspire’s Autism courses are the best online courses I’ve attended.”

“The trainers’ knowledge and personal experiences were conveyed in an easy to understand manner.  In my opinion this was invaluable training for me, both professionally as a lecturer and personally as a parent of a child who has a neurological disorder”

“Thank you Ruth and Deborah. Great course! Please keep me abreast of training and you webinars. This has really helped me.”

“Thank you the course has been so helpful, affirmed a lot of what I am doing, but also lots to think about. Also a wonderful group.”

“I have worked in FE for 13 years and can honestly say this was the most interesting, informative and enjoyable CPD session I have ever done!”

“Having a panel of neurodivergent people was genius and an absolute privilege.”

“Very pleased that I booked on this course as it is a topic which was not covered when I trained to be a counsellor.”

“… so many things I hadn’t been aware of which will undoubtedly inform my practice and help me to support clients who display ADHD traits. “

“Thank you, Ruth and Deborah for sharing all you know and have experienced, not just as therapists but as parents too”

“Your deep understanding of ADHD was excellent and the fact that you brought many real-life examples from your work, enhanced my learning process. Your ability to provide inclusive enough training for therapists using different approaches was greatly appreciated. The case studies used were particularly helpful in illustrating the concepts discussed. I valued learning from experts with lived experience that has helped me to develop my empathy when working with neurodivergent clients.”

“Ruth and Deborah are both exceptional and highly knowledgeable trainers. The ADHD training was remarkably comprehensive, meaningful, and perfectly tailored to the needs of student support services in higher education. The sessions were well-structured, offering a seamless transition between theory, experiential work, reflection, and the lived experiences of the panel. I wholeheartedly recommend this training.”

“As a neurodivergent counsellor with a neurodivergent partner, I found the course both personally and professionally valuable.

It was accessible, well-paced, and thoughtfully delivered by Ruth and Deborah, with a strong focus on not ‘othering’ either partner—reinforced by the Q&A panel.

The mix of small group discussions and wider sharing was enriching. I left feeling inspired and highly recommend this course. Thank you!”
