🆕 AuDHD & Mental Health Training
Who this is for: Mental health supporting roles, health and social care organisations, and anyone whose work involves supporting neurodivergent people and their mental health — including clinical and non-clinical staff, frontline teams, call handlers, coordinators, and managers.
Most services have good intentions but inconsistent understanding — some staff get it, others don't, and neurodivergent people experience that inconsistency from their very first phone call or referral.
This training brings everyone in your service — clinical and non-clinical — to the same baseline of knowledge and understanding. Rather than creating a specific pathway for a select few, the goal is a service that is more inclusive by default, for everyone who comes through the door.
This session has previously been delivered delivered to Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Talking Therapies as part of the Vita Health Group.
This half day training covers;
- Why this matters — challenging existing assumptions, including how media portrayal has shaped public understanding of autism and ADHD (largely white, male, and unrepresentative), and why women, girls, and people from racialised and marginalised communities have historically been underdiagnosed
- What is AuDHD — autism, ADHD, and co-occurrence; why the two are difficult to unpick, and why we look at both together
Co-occurring mental health — understanding that anxiety and depression are separate to neurodivergence but deeply intertwined, and how dysregulation can look like rudeness, aggression or disengagement when it isn't - Masking — how adults learn to hide their traits, often without realising it, and why this changes what staff actually see day to day
- Environment and what helps — not just physical or sensory environment, but social and communication environment too, including practical adjustments for referral forms, appointment reminders, and phone or virtual communication; recognising burnout versus disengagement; and reassuring staff that many tools they already use for anxiety and depression work well here too, often with only slight adaptation
- Case studies — real scenarios drawn from your team's own survey data (anonymised), worked through in breakout groups and fed back to the wider group, including some deliberately tricky examples to stretch thinking
- Q&A — 15 minutes of open questions at the end

🌟Testimonials
"It was so insightful and interesting, that its not a mental health problem its developmental, i overall found it so engaging and validating.

🆕Understanding ADHD in the Workplace
Who this is for: Employability and supported employment teams, health and social care teams — anyone whose role involves helping people find, start, or stay in work.
People with ADHD are often misunderstood at exactly the moments they need support the most — during job searches, interviews, onboarding, and the early weeks in a new role. This training gives staff a genuine, practical understanding of ADHD in an employment context, so support feels informed rather than generic.
This session has previously been delivered to Connect to Work, Leicestershire's free Supported Employment programme delivered by Leicestershire County Council, supporting disabled people and those with health conditions into sustainable employment.
The half day session covers:
- Understand — what ADHD is, how it affects executive functioning, attention, and emotional regulation, and why it's so often misunderstood
- Recognise — how ADHD can impact everyday life, including work, relationships, communication, and task completion, and the hidden barriers people face in finding and keeping work
- Identify — the signs of masking and why it happens, and the mental health consequences of unmanaged or late-diagnosed ADHD
- Apply — practical strategies to improve accessibility, engagement, and outcomes when supporting someone with ADHD in an employment context
- Reflect — on your own role in providing neuro-affirming support within employability and supported employment services

Designing Workplaces Where Difference Doesn't Require People to Hide
Most organisations have neurodivergent employees who are masking every single day — hiding who they are just to get through the working week. It's exhausting for individuals and costly for organisations, showing up as burnout, turnover, and disengagement.
This half-day workshop gives leadership and management teams a real understanding of what masking is, why it happens, and — crucially — what they can do differently. It's not a tick-box awareness session. It's practical, honest, and grounded in lived experience.
Delegates leave with a clear action plan, practical frameworks, and the confidence to have better conversations with neurodivergent employees.

Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training
Since 2024, I have been delivering the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism at both Tier 1 and Tier 2. I’ve worked nationally across a wide range of venues, with diverse groups of delegates, and alongside many different trainers and co-trainers.
I am qualified and experienced in every delivery role:
- Tier 2 Training Facilitator
- Tier 2 Expert Co-trainer (lived experience of autism)
- Tier 1 Training Facilitator
- Tier 1 Expert Co-trainer
- Tier 1 Lead Trainer
I consistently receive positive feedback from participants and co-facilitators, recognising my ability to manage the flow of sessions, engage audiences, and ensure learning outcomes are achieved.
What makes my work unique is my experience as both a facilitator and Expert co-trainer with lived experience of autism. This allows me to bring authenticity and insight to each session, while also drawing on what I’ve learned from working with a wide variety of facilitators and training styles.
My role has given me the privilege of working with autistic people and people with a learning disability from many different backgrounds. I adapt my delivery to make every session inclusive, accessible, and impactful.
