Working with Autistic Clients – A Practical Guide for Practitioners – June/July
Autism & Counselling – 7 hours CPD points
Enhance your counselling practice with a better understanding of autism and how to support autistic clients. This practical, engaging course introduces key concepts of autism and shows how to apply them in a counselling setting to create a more inclusive and effective therapeutic space. Through presentations, group discussion, quizzes, and self-reflection, you’ll build confidence and insight into working with neurodivergent clients. You’ll explore your own views, recognise the importance of the autistic voice, and understand communication differences, sensory needs, and relationship patterns.
The course also highlights the impact of anxiety and stress in autism and what autism can look like in the counselling room. You’ll learn how therapy can sometimes cause harm and how to adapt your approach with practical strategies to better support clients. Suitable for counsellors in training and qualified practitioners. No prior knowledge required.
