Trauma-Aware Neurodiversity Training

Creating safer, more supportive spaces, where difference isn’t just included, it’s valued.

Why this training matters

Workplaces are waking up to neurodiversity but many are still missing the mark.

Policies might look good on paper, but employees are still burning out.
Awareness days come and go, while real barriers remain.

The cost of getting it wrong is high:

  • 1 in 10 firms have faced tribunals linked to neurodiversity-related conflicts (Personnel Today)
  • 50% of neurodivergent employees mask daily just to get through the workday (City & Guilds Foundation, 2024)
  • Burnout is driving talented staff out of organisations, leaving teams struggling to recruit and retain.

Most neurodivergent employees aren’t asking for special treatment.

They’re asking to be understood, to not be punished for needing rest and to not have to mask their way through a meeting.

What this training offers

Our Trauma-Aware Neurodiversity Training goes beyond awareness to equip leaders, managers, and teams with practical tools for real inclusion.

You'll learn to:

  • Understand trauma and the nervous system – and how these shape workplace behaviour
  • Recognise signs of masking, burnout, and overwhelm before they escalate
  • Respond to challenges (missed deadlines, cancellations, disengagement) through a trauma-aware lens
  • Build psychologically safe workplaces where people feel valued, not vulnerable
  • Tailor support to your organisation, with optional deeper dives into autism, ADHD, or other neurodivergent profiles

This is not another tick-box training.

It’s about culture change – equipping your people to unlock potential, not lose it.

Who it's for

  • Business leaders and HR teams who want to reduce conflict and attrition
  • Managers who want to support neurodivergent staff in sustainable ways
  • Teams who want to work together with greater understanding, trust and psychological safety

Why trauma-aware matters

Many trainings talk about neurodiversity.

Few recognise how trauma and nervous system regulation shape the way people think, feel and work.

By combining a neurodiversity-affirming lens with trauma awareness, we help organisations create environments where everyone can thrive.

Because when people feel safe, they do their best work.

Delivery options

Choose from the following delivery options:

  • In-person training for leaders, managers and teams
  • Online and pre-recorded versions (coming soon) for flexible access
  • Semi-bespoke add-ons tailored to your organisational needs (e.g. deeper dives into different neurotypes)

The outcome

By the end of this training, your workplace will:

  • Recognise and reduce hidden barriers
  • Retain neurodivergent talent instead of losing it
  • Respond to challenges in ways that build trust
  • Create a culture where difference isn’t just accepted, it’s valued

Because the real cost of inaction isn’t just tribunals or turnover.
It’s losing the people who could have been your greatest asset.

More about Sally...

I’m Sally – late-identified AuDHD, deeply sensitive and still unravelling. I’m a somatic, trauma-informed coach specialising in supporting neurodivergent adults, particularly those exhausted by masking, navigating late-diagnosis grief or trying to cope in a world that wasn’t built for their nervous systems.

My approach is gentle, body-led and deeply relational. I support people who’ve spent years holding it all together, often labelled as ‘too much’ or ‘too sensitive’, to finally feel safe enough to exhale. 

My work is rooted in a trauma-informed understanding of the nervous system, and using  Brainspotting, Parts Work, and somatic tools, I support people in recognising that what often gets labelled as anxiety, burnout or emotional dysregulation is often the body’s brilliant response to chronic stress, masking, or survival mode. Together, we explore the impact of past experiences on the present, to gently unhook from old patterns and reconnect with the parts of you that were never broken, only protecting you.

Outside of this work, I ground myself in nature  – walking in the woods or dipping into cold water to reset. These moments of stillness shape how I hold space for others: slow, attuned, and always with care.

If you’re craving a space where your nervous system doesn’t have to perform – just be felt, honoured, and understood – I’d love to walk alongside you.

More about Dan...

Neurodiversity-Affirming, Trauma-Aware Coach

I’m Dan, a somatic, trauma-aware coach. Most of the people I work with are trying to figure out why life feels so bloody hard sometimes, even when they’re doing all the right things.  

I support adults who feel burnt out from masking, overwhelmed by the day to day, or worn down by the effort of fitting into everyone else’s version of normal. Many of the people I work with are Autistic or ADHD, but not everyone is, what matters is how you experience and make sense of things.  

Like most of my clients, I’ve been there too, years of keeping up the act, overthinking everything, and pretending I was fine when I wasn’t. I do this work because I know how much difference it makes when someone finally meets you where you are, no masks and no judgement, just understanding.  

My approach is practical and collaborative to help you make sense of what’s really going on underneath and work with your nervous system, not against it. Some sessions are practical and some are slower. You can show up exactly as you are and we’ll follow what’s useful, not a plan someone else wrote.  

When I’m not coaching, you’ll probably find me out walking, cooking a roast big enough for leftovers, or reading crime fiction on my Kindle.

More about Suzanne...

My mission is to help as many people as possible find happiness and live their lives to the fullest. I provide a safe and nurturing environment where clients can get curious about their past trauma, understand the connection between mind and body, and reclaim their power in the present.

I believe that everyone deserves to be seen and heard, without judgment or repercussions. In our 1-on-1 sessions, you have the freedom to express yourself authentically, to delve into your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can get curious and start to grow at your own pace. By working somatically with the body, we tap into the power of sensations and help you develop a deeper understanding of how past trauma manifests in the body and shows up in the present.

Through guided exploration, we’ll identify the parts of you that have been shaped by feelings and core wounds of unworthiness, not being good enough, not important enough and unlovable. With compassion and curiosity, we’ll nurture your inner child, offering the love and support they’ve always needed. Together, we’ll navigate through the challenges of overwhelm, stress, anxiety, and more. We’ll discover the power of selflove, self-care, and self-acceptance. You’ll embark on a journey of growth, where you’ll find your voice, rebuild confidence, and live a life aligned with your true essence.

More about Michelle...

A few years ago, I began my own healing journey. Like many people, I didn’t think of myself as someone who had experienced trauma. But through working with a trauma-informed coach, I started to see how past experiences had shaped my emotions and behaviors. That journey changed everything for me.

I became certified in somatic trauma-informed coaching and trained as a Brainspotting practitioner, learning how to connect with emotions stored in the body and approach healing with curiosity and compassion. Now, I’m on a mission to share these transformative tools with others.

All That We Are was born from this passion. It’s about raising awareness of trauma, helping people connect with their emotions, and offering practical, compassionate support. We want to normalize the conversation around trauma because, we’ve all experienced it in some way.

Outside of work, my life is all about connection and growth. My husband and I homeschool our son, which has been an incredible adventure and a constant reminder of the joy in learning together. I’m also a huge fan of ice baths—I love the challenge, the clarity, and the sense of calm they bring (yes, really!).

I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued—and I’m here to help people realize they are enough, just as they are.

Through workshops, 1-2-1 coaching, and education across schools, workplaces, and beyond, my amazing team and I are here to support you on your journey to becoming whole, happy, and fulfilled.

Let’s take the first step together. You’re not alone.
