Working with ADHD Clients in Counselling

Nea Clark

Travel In the ADHD Mind

Practitioner's Toolkit

Develop a clear, practical direction for working with ADHD clients in counselling. This three-hour course brings to life key ideas from Nea Clark’s book, Travel into the ADHD Mind: How to Work with ADHD Clients, guiding you step by step through a neuro-informed approach. Explore ADHD presentations, types of attention, sensory overwhelm, and the roles of the brain, nervous system and neurotransmitters. Consider how neuro-informed and trauma-informed perspectives shape your work, before exploring procrastination, motivation, limiting beliefs, emotional intelligence, rejection sensitivity and masking. Three hours of CPD, connecting understanding with practical application in your counselling sessions.

What's included?

Three hours of recorded teaching, accompanied by presentation slides that summarise key concepts and support reflection, understanding and practical application.

Sensory Overstimulation

Explore the client’s Sensory Economy together, mapping overstimulation, under-responsiveness and patterns of hypo- or hypersensitivity for the 8 senses that shape capacity and wellbeing.

Procrastination

Explore the Procrastination Hexagon alongside different motivational types, creating practical pathways that help clients move from stuckness towards purposeful action.

Executive Function challenges

Develop ways to support executive function challenges through practical, hands-on strategies clients can use immediately and integrate into daily life.

Masking
