Optima Presents Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy: Rethinking Approaches for Autistic and

ADHD Clients: Talk and Q&A with Amy Peters

AUGUST 5TH | 7 PM | ONLINE

We are delighted to present a FREE webinar with Amy Peters, an autistic/ADHD therapist, supervisor, trainer and author based in the UK.

Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy: Rethinking Approaches for Autistic and ADHD Clients (2026) is a powerful resource for therapists, coaches, and professionals seeking to create truly affirming spaces for neurodivergent clients. By exploring ableism, unconscious bias, and the limits of traditional models, Amy invites practitioners to rethink their assumptions and build more ethical, inclusive ways of working.

Radically rethink how you work with Autistic and ADHD clients with this comprehensive and compassionate guide to neurodivergent affirming therapeutic practice.

Blending theory, neurodivergent education, and actionable strategies, this book provides tools grounded in an authentic understanding of how neurodivergent minds work - empowering therapists to create safer, more effective, and truly affirming spaces for their clients.

Drawing on Amy’s lived experience and professional expertise, Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy challenges traditional models that often misinterpret or pathologise neurodivergent ways of being, offering instead a practical, affirming, and inclusive approach.

Optima Presents

Optima Attachment Training is a specialist training and wellbeing organisation for people who want to understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that shape how they live and work.

Our work is rooted in attachment-informed practice, but we do not believe insight should stay in theory books or training rooms. It needs to be useful. It needs to make sense in real life.

We offer professional training, therapeutic learning, couples retreats, and restorative retreats for therapists who spend so much of their lives holding others.

At the heart of it all is the same belief: when people understand themselves more clearly, they can relate differently, recover differently, and grow in ways that last.
