Workshops & training for organisations
Workshops and training for organisations, schools and teams. Support people to use their strengths, build more understanding working relationships and make room for different minds. There is also support for teachers and creative, regulating experiences for young people.
Becoming a neurodivergent-friendly organisation
Support your staff to contribute as themselves.
For employers, managers and teams who want staff to be able to contribute as themselves. Explore how communication, sensory environments, expectations and ways of working affect participation.
Support people to recognise and use their individual strengths, with room for different needs and working styles. A strength is something to understand with the person, not assume from a label. When people can contribute in ways that suit them, staff and the organisation can both benefit.
Communication and conflict resolution
Build understanding before problems grow, with support for conflict and repair when needed.
Communication and conflict resolution skills can help before a difficulty becomes a bigger problem. We can practise listening, expressing needs, holding clear boundaries and recognising when protective responses begin to shape a conversation.
Where relationships are already strained, we can also explore defending, withdrawing, pleasing or trying harder to be heard, with care for the concerns beneath these patterns and responsibility for their impact. The learning can support prevention, conflict resolution and repair. Where a conflict needs a formal workplace response, training sits alongside the organisation’s responsibilities and procedures.
Team building through understanding
Different ways to contribute to a shared purpose.
Explore how different people communicate, contribute and respond to pressure. Make space for quieter voices, different processing styles and strengths that may be overlooked.
Creative activities and reflection can offer different ways to take part. People can observe, think privately or contribute in a way that suits them; personal disclosure is not a team-building requirement.
Shame, pressure and staff wellbeing
Make it easier to ask, learn and speak up.
A fear of getting things wrong can make it harder to ask for help, speak up or learn together. Explore criticism, perfectionism, people-pleasing and the protective responses that can develop around workplace pressure.
An IFS perspective can help people understand these responses with compassion. The focus is on supportive working relationships and practical changes, with room for organisational pressures as well as individual experience.
Supporting teachers when demands are high
Space for the people holding so much for others.
Teaching asks so much of you. When demands are high and resources are stretched, it can become harder to find the energy, patience or space you want to bring to the children in your care. Resources include time, staffing and funding, but also our inner capacity and the support we receive from one another.
Bespoke workshops for teachers, teaching assistants, pastoral teams and school leaders offer space to understand the parts that keep pushing, feel responsible for everyone or worry that they are not doing enough. There is room for exhaustion, frustration, guilt and the care that brought you into this work.
Through creative exploration, IFS, reflection and shared learning, we can explore asking for support, holding caring boundaries and finding a way back after a difficult moment. We also consider how teams and leaders can create practical support, clearer expectations and room for different needs, including those of neurodivergent staff. The pressures around teachers deserve attention alongside what is happening within them.
The workshop is shaped around your school and what your staff need. People can contribute, reflect privately or witness without sharing personal experiences. Ask about a workshop for your school →
After-school youth groups: rhythm and creative expression
School can be demanding for children and the adults supporting them. Children, teachers and families may all be doing their best within a busy school day, with different needs and limited resources. Building support around young people can help the whole school community.
After-school groups bring together rhythm, music, movement, play and creative expression. We explore ways for children to notice how they feel, express what is happening inside and discover what helps them feel steadier or more connected. A beat, an image or a playful activity may speak to a young person more readily than an explanation.
Activities are shaped around the children’s ages, interests, communication and sensory needs, including neurodivergent ways of experiencing the world. There is room for quiet, different levels of movement, watching before joining in and adjustments to sound. Their feelings, needs and ways of being have a place in the group.
We build resources children can draw on in everyday school life, with care for the relationships around them. More support for children can also support parents and carers, teachers and the school: everyone can benefit. Group size, access, school support and appropriate safeguarding arrangements are agreed together. Ask about an after-school youth group →
Training shaped around your people
Subjects can be explored separately or brought together around what your organisation or school needs. Leadership, boundaries, overwhelm, communication and supporting staff strengths can all be part of that conversation.
We can consider ways of taking part that respect sensory needs, communication preferences and the energy involved in masking. Tell me about your organisation or school →
