Training and consultancy

Alongside one-to-one work, I offer training, consultancy and reflective spaces for organisations, groups and teams.

My work draws on a PhD in Medical Studies and a research background, counselling practice with neurodivergent and learning disabled adults, and lived experience as a parent carer of disabled and neurodivergent family members. Sessions are practical, inclusive and adapted to your setting.

For counsellors and therapists

• Counselling adults with a learning disability: adapting assessment, contracting and sessions

• Accessible communication in therapy, including Easy Read and visual tools such as emotion cards

• Consent, capacity and working alongside carers and support staff

• Neurodiversity-affirming practice with autistic and ADHD clients

For organisations, care providers and teams

• Neurodiversity and disability inclusion

• Supporting staff who are neurodivergent or living with a long-term health condition

• Reasonable adjustments and fluctuating conditions at work

• Co-production and participation with people with a learning disability

• Mental wellbeing and resilience

• Reflective practice and ethical working

For carers and families

• Supporting carers and staff under sustained pressure

• Carer identity: what you are and are not responsible for

• Planning for transitions, such as the move to supported living

Training can be delivered as one-off workshops, short series or ongoing reflective spaces, shaped around your context.

Consultancy

I also work with organisations that want to make their services more accessible to neurodivergent and learning disabled people, or to support staff who are neurodivergent or living with a health condition. This might mean reviewing how a service communicates, advising on adjustments, or helping a team think through a specific situation.
