Training

Let me tell you something first.

If you are looking for a neat, tidy, two-hour session where everyone leaves with a checklist and a sense of "well, that's that done"… this probably isn't for you.

But.

If you are the kind of person or organisation that wants to really understand neurodiversity, not just the definitions, but the lived experience, the nuance, the human side of it, then I would love to talk.

What makes my training different

I don't just teach neurodiversity. I translate it.

I help people step, even briefly, into the inner world of someone who is neurodivergent. What it feels like to move through a world that wasn't designed with your brain in mind. What it's like to be misunderstood, to mask, to try and fit… and what changes when that understanding finally arrives.

My sessions are thoughtful, practical, and often unexpectedly moving.

You won't just leave with information. You will leave with a different lens.

Who this is for

I work with companies and small businesses, therapists, coaches, and counsellors, teachers and education staff, social workers and foster and adoptive carers, and teams who want to move beyond "tick-box" training into something more meaningful.

In other words: people who are willing to listen with curiosity and rethink what they thought they knew.

What I bring into the room

I blend my lived experience of ADHD, navigating the world both before and after diagnosis, with trauma-informed practice, positive psychology, and years of working in education, inclusion, and coaching. And my slightly magical ability to explain complex things in ways that actually land.

Sometimes that might include metaphor. Sometimes a story. Sometimes a moment where the room goes very quiet because something just… clicked.

Where I teach

I often deliver training through Free2BMe, where I'm also a trainer on their certificate course in Neurodiversity Affirming Practice.

And if you're looking for something more tailored, something shaped around your team, your work, your real-life challenges, I'm very open to creating something bespoke with you.

Examples of trainings I have given

Just to give you a flavour:

  • Understanding ADHD (for therapists and counsellors)

  • ADHD and adopted/fostered children (for social workers and foster carers)

  • Neurodiversity (for volunteers, teachers, counsellors)

  • Trauma-informed working (for teachers)

  • Case-study based trainings, the kind where real situations get unpacked properly

  • Neurodiversity training for Probation Service officers

  • Training for partners of ADHDers

Each one shaped to the people in the room. No copy-paste sessions here.

What people have said

  • “I wanted to reach out to thank you for the training you delivered last week. It made a really positive impact on our team - everyone found your approach engaging and the content invaluable to our roles, workstreams, and future plans. Having the opportunity to reflect on both our professional and personal experiences was refreshing, and you facilitated those discussions with skill and sensitivity. Your thoughtful guidance encouraged us to think more deeply and connect our learning to real-world situations.

    Thank you again for creating a space where we could share openly and grow together.”

    - The Probation Service

  • "Anita did some wonderful online neurodiversity training for our volunteers at Family Matters York recently. Her online workshop was pitched just right and our volunteers found it incredibly useful. Anita was very engaging and made sure there was ample time to answer questions. We really appreciated Anita's above and beyond approach to supporting us in our work."

If you're thinking about it

If you are reading this and thinking, we need something like this… but we also need it to actually land, then yes, this might be exactly the right fit.

I won't just deliver information.

I will help your team understand people better.

And that tends to change everything that comes after.
