Solidarity-based fee structure
To make CPD accessible to everyone, our workshops operate on a sliding scale. This system is based on trust and solidarity and you do not need to justify your choice. If you can afford to pay more, your contribution helps others access professional development and improves accessibility of continous training. If you need to pay less, take what you need; no questions asked.
Community-rate tickets (low-cost, solidarity-based) are available in limited quantity to ensure we can continue offering accessible services for all.
Our workshops are either half-day (3–4 hours) or full-day (4+ hours).

Our Workshops
Understanding Autism: Affirming Perspectives for Inclusive Therapy
Join us for a neuro-affirming workshop designed to deepen your understanding of autism and equip you with inclusive, strengths-based approaches for therapy.
Moving beyond outdated deficit models, this session explores autistic-led theories, including Monotropism and the Double Empathy Problem, while debunking common myths about autism.
Discover the impact of masking, burnout, and sensory processing differences, and learn practical adaptations to create a safe, accommodating, and empowering therapeutic space. This workshop emphasises identity-first language, respectful symbolism, and real-world strategies to support autistic clients effectively.
This workshop has been designed and will be delivered by Nick, a neurodivergent therapist and lead tutor for the Accredited Diploma in Counselling.
Who is this for? Counsellors, therapists, and mental health professionals seeking to adopt inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming practices.
Why attend? Gain practical skills, deeper insight, and a fresh perspective to enhance your work with autistic clients.
Takeaway: Build a therapy practice that respects, supports, and empowers autistic individuals.
