Understanding Neurodivergence in Therapy – IACP Accredited

IACP-accredited CPD course (6 points) for mental health professionals. Learn practical strategies for adapting therapy to ADHD and autistic clients.

Course Overview
This one-day CPD-accredited course is recognised by the IACP for six CPD points. It is specifically focused on helping mental health professionals adapt their therapy practice to the needs of ADHD and autistic clients. Delivered to organisations such as Pieta House, it combines clinical expertise with lived experience.

What You’ll Learn

  • How neurodivergence shapes therapy and client engagement

  • Practical strategies for adapting communication and pacing

  • Spotting overlooked ADHD and autism traits in adults

  • Supporting clients with sensory regulation and emotional needs

  • Tools for working with masking, burnout, and RSD

Why This Course Stands Out
Unlike general CPD training, this course is designed for therapists who want actionable, real-world skills. You’ll leave with:

  • Case studies and examples from actual therapy practice

  • Neurodiversity-affirming techniques you can use right away

  • Insights drawn from both professional training and lived experience

Who Should Attend

  • Counsellors and psychotherapists

  • Psychologists, social workers, and OTs

  • Mental health professionals in services or private practice

  • Trainees wanting early exposure to neurodivergent-affirming practice

Booking Information
