6 March 2025 | Can CBT Work with Autistic Clients? | With Paul Grantham
Many therapists, whether specialising in CBT or other approaches, may hesitate or feel uncertain when working with autistic clients. Misconceptions surrounding phrases such as "poor theory of mind," "difficulty accessing thoughts and emotions," "sensory hypersensitivity," and "rigidity of thinking" have contributed to this hesitation.
Regardless of the course we offer, the most common question we receive from participants today is whether it will be effective for autistic clients. To address this, Paul Grantham has developed a brand-new short course on applying CBT with autistic clients. Sign up for this course to discover why many misconceptions about working with autistic clients are both inaccurate and unhelpful. Learn how to adopt more effective therapeutic approaches and, by leveraging your existing skills and resources, support autistic clients in a way that is both constructive and empowering.
Tonight’s SDS Thursday session will provide a preview of what the course entails, as well as an opportunity to meet the tutor and ask any questions before enrolling on the full course.
