Professional supervision

Bringing a neurodiversity perspective to clinical practice requires not only technical knowledge, but also an ethical framework and a reflective disposition.

In addition, neurodivergence should not be understood as a niche reserved for specialised professionals. Underdiagnosis, late diagnosis and diagnostic inaccuracy mean that many people come to a practice without their neurodivergence having been recognised or sufficiently taken into account.

That is why, if you work in mental health, you will probably at some point come across cases in which a neuroaffirming perspective, informed by neurodevelopment, can help you understand better what is happening, adapt your way of working or consider whether an assessment could provide useful information.

I offer professional supervision to psychologists, therapists, educators and teachers, individually or in small groups, face to face or online. Each space adapts to the needs of whoever requests it and can focus on case consultation, clinical formulation, ethical dilemmas, reflective practice or preventing professional strain.

I also offer clinical sessions for teams. They can be especially useful when a centre does not usually work with neurodivergence, when cases arise that generate doubts or when a therapeutic process seems to have stalled. These sessions can focus on neurodivergence in general or go deeper into a specific condition, such as autism.

The goal is not to replace each professional's therapeutic model, but to help integrate a neuroaffirming perspective within their own way of working, taking into account how neurodevelopment can influence the person's experience, their support needs and the way intervention is framed.
