A Therapeutic Workbook for Supporting the Wellbeing of Neurodivergent Clients
Reviews
Louise Lucas has created a powerful, affirming, and deeply compassionate resource that truly honours neurodivergent lived experiences. This workbook is an invaluable guide for practitioners seeking to work more ethically, anti-oppressively, and confidently alongside neurodivergent clients.
It's great to understand why you're struggling. But what then? Clients ask "Yes, but HOW?" And in this book - which is not theory but experience - Louise gives the answer. And in such a fluid, clear, detailed and empathic way that it can be adapted to pretty much anyone. It's tailored to neurodivergent people, certainly, but the neurodiversity paradigm is inclusive, not exclusive - as is this wonderful book.
A much needed resource for therapists working with neurodivergent clients, straightforward language and an appealing, collaborative, compassionate model which makes sense.
A sensitive and deeply practical guide to supporting neurodivergent wellbeing. Louise brings together accessible strategies that will resonate with therapists seeking to translate neurodivergent affirming principles into meaningful, compassionate practice in the therapy room. Perfect for practitioners wishing to build their affirming toolkit.
Reading this book, as an autistic adult, was incredibly affirming and illuminating. This will be a powerful tool for mental health professionals to understand and support their neurodivergent clients.
This is a clear, practical, accessible workbook for therapists supporting neurodivergent clients. Lucas brings the Neurodivergent Wellbeing Model to life through collaborative, intersectional practice, with tools like the excellent Spiky Profile Mapper. I know I'll keep returning to this book!
Structured yet truly neuroaffirming, this workbook supports clients to meet their neurodivergent selves without shame, while recognising privilege, systemic oppression, and the limits of individual agency. A much-needed publication that I've enthusiastically incorporated into my practice.
If Neuro-affirming practice is at the heart of what you do then this book NEEDS to be at the core of how you work! Compassionatley blending theory, expertise and lived experience. Louise will transform your way of working with neurodivergence.
Louise's knowledge, insight and compassion shine from every page. Her lived experience and clinical expertise supports work with neurodivergent clients and your own uniquely wired brain. Use these practical tools to build a more collaborative, inclusive and sustainable practice.
A compassionate and practical book, grounded in clinical experience, that is bound to help both therapists and their clients.
