ADHD is still not adequately covered in counselling training, despite people with ADHD being significantly more likely to access therapy services. As therapists, itās essential that we understand how ADHD can present in the therapy room, how it may impact the therapeutic relationship, and how we can make reasonable adjustments to better support our clients.
Hi, my name is Jodie Sturges. I have been a qualified counsellor for 13 years, a clinical supervisor and content creator, and I was a counselling tutor for 4 years. I have worked extensively with ADHD for around 6 years and have both professional and lived experience of neurodivergence. I am diagnosed with ADHD myself and also have ADHD children.
Working with ADHD has become a real passion of mine. Throughout my work, Iāve seen how easily ADHD can be misunderstood, missed, or mistaken for other presentations, particularly within therapeutic settings. My goal is to help fellow therapists feel more confident in recognising ADHD traits, understanding the challenges neurodivergent clients may face, and adapting their therapeutic approach in a way that is supportive, effective, and affirming.
Join me for this online CPD event where weāll explore the essentials of working with clients who have ADHD or suspected ADHD. Whether youāre new to ADHD or already have experience working with neurodivergent clients, this training will offer practical insights, relatable examples, and strategies you can start using immediately in your practice.
