Emily Carey Smith - Superpower or Kryptonite? It’s not always what you think, understanding Neurodivergence.
This engaging and interactive workshop offers a personal and practical exploration of neurodiversity, with a focus on ADHD across life stages. Through experiential activities, myth-busting exercises, and therapeutic reflection, we’ll unpack masking, emotional responses, and the shifting presentation of neurodivergence. You’ll explore tailored strategies and holistic approaches to support neurodivergent clients, while considering the challenges and opportunities that arise in practice.
Meet Emily Carey Smith
Emily Carey-Smith is a trainee integrative counsellor with a developing specialism in working with neurodivergent clients. She is currently on placement in a college setting, supporting children and young people.
Alongside her training, she brings lived experience to her work. She has a dual diagnosis of ADHD and Autism (ASD), and she is also a parent to a son with complex Autism and OCD. Through a combination of personal insight and academic learning, she is passionate about raising awareness of the unique therapeutic needs of neurodivergent clients and advocating for approaches that honour their individuality. She believes strongly in the importance of normalising responses that might otherwise be seen as ‘wrong’ or ‘different,’ and she is keen to keep opening these conversations, with clients, peers, and within the profession.
Her aim is to support a more inclusive, attuned, and flexible way of working, one that truly meets clients where they are.
