Content: This 1-day experiential training offers you the opportunity to further develop your competence and confidence when working with neurodivergent adults. This includes looking at different presentations you may work with, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), Dyslexia, Alexithymia, Synaesthesia, and Tourette’s Syndrome.

By moving away from pathologising psychiatric terms such as “disorder” and taking a more developmental approach, we can explore and discuss some of the experiences of neurodivergent clients and their common presenting issues concerning sex and relationships. These include sensory processing issues in relation to sex, rejection sensitivity in dating, and alexithymia and OCD in relationships. We also investigate the intersectionality between neurodivergence and gender, asexuality, non-monogamy, and kink. Woven into the day are eight fun and reflective activities for you to try and potentially to use with neurodivergent clients. Lastly, there will be time to reflect on the appropriate adjustments you’re willing and able to make in your practice.

Trainer: Justyna Kulczyk-Lewinska (she/her) is a highly qualified professional with a diverse and extensive background in psychology, pedagogy, and psychotherapy. Holding multiple certifications and advanced degrees, including an MA, BSc, PGDip Clinical Sexology, PGDip Relationship & Psychosexual Therapy, and PGDip Advanced Relationship Therapy, she is accredited by COSRT, registered with BACP, and a member of both BSSM and ESSM.

Justyna is autistic and ADHD, and lives with a long-term chronic condition. Most of her professional experience has been dedicated to working with neurodivergent clients. She is fully trained professional in neurodivergence diagnostics. She is deeply involved in research to reshape current perspectives on neurodivergence, collaborating with several universities across Europe. Her passion for this field has spanned 17 years. Her hands-on experience includes working in NHS settings, particularly in psychosexual departments as well as psychiatry, urology, and gynaecology. She has developed a tailored approach to working with autism and ADHD traits, viewing each case as unique and avoiding overgeneralised models.

Justyna has been working as a therapist since 2010, beginning her professional journey in prisons and psychiatry departments, where she gained invaluable experience before transitioning into the field of psychosexual psychotherapy. Her practice is affirming and inclusive, celebrating diversity across gender, relationship, and sexual diversity (GSRD), neurodivergence, and kink communities. Justyna runs a thriving private practice both online and in London, offering accessible and flexible therapeutic support to a diverse client base.
