Amy Peters uses her professional and lived experience to create the ultimate guide to delivering therapy to neurodivergent clients. Introducing Amy's original models and neurodivergent-adapted approaches to therapy, this book outlines the practical steps to building a truly inclusive and neuro-affirming practice.

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

Drawing on Amy Peters' lived experience and professional insight, this book explores how traditional therapeutic models can misinterpret or pathologize neurodivergent ways of being and offers a practical and affirming alternative.

Written with professionals in mind, this book introduces several original models developed by the author, which guide practitioners through neurodivergent experiences of trauma, emotional regulation and burnout. Reflection points, client insights and case studies invite readers to reflect on how this work can be integrated authentically into their current modality.

To support everyday practice, it also includes practical alternatives to deficit-based, neuronormative advice on common challenges such as anxiety, communication and motivation. These tools are grounded in an understanding of how neurodivergent minds work and are ready to be used directly with clients.

Each chapter closes with a unique section specifically for neurodivergent therapists, offering support and reflective prompts that help neurodivergent professionals understand how their identity shapes their work.
