Neuro Diverse Couple Course

Course for couples impacted ADHD

I developed a course specifically designed for couples impacted by ADHD, which is delivered through ADHD Aware. It is the first course of it’s kind and addresses the issues you face with a new approach. Providing you fresh information, quick and easy to use strategies, real life case studies and group discussions.

Areas the course covers:

  • Neurodiversity introduction to the themes which impact relationships
  • Communication issues
  • Emotional dysregulation and its impact on the couple 
  • Executive function: Impairments that affect the life of a couple. Memory, task organisation, difficulty with planning, distraction, impulsivity 
  • Social issues: Difficulties with friendships, inappropriate behaviours, inability to read nuanced language, over socialising and intimacy issues

What to expect

The course is six sessions of group work online. The sessions are two hours long on a mid week evening and run from 7pm – 9pm.

There are ten couples on each course. Two therapists host and present the course and answer questions.

The beauty of the experience is that it is made richer by the members of the group sharing their experiences of being in neurodiverse relationships. This is often the most important part of the process as participants get relief and encouragement from each other.

Client Testimonials

Highly recommend

“Working with Karen was an absolute pleasure.  She is friendly and thoughtful, and opened our eyes to a different perspective on our partnership and how to make the most of it.
We would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to reinvigorate their relationship.”

We felt safe and supported

“We have been thoughtfully, thoroughly and knowledgeably guided by Karen, and given clear strategies and a framework to explore and reappraise the complexities of our long-term relationship. As an ADHD specialist, Karen’s input has been an invaluable revelation. We have
felt safe, and supported, to dig deep and reframe our patterns of behaviour to move forwards.”

Extensive knowledge and understanding

“We wouldn’t be where we are today as a couple without Karen’s extensive knowledge and understanding of the complexities of neurodiversity and how the many different traits can show up and tear relationships apart. We would never have got to the level of understanding we have now without her expert knowledge, skills and compassion.”
