This specialised CPD workshop focuses on equipping Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapists with the knowledge and skills to effectively work with children and young people with special educational needs (SEN), including Autism, ADHD, and related conditions. As mental health challenges in young individuals become increasingly complex, understanding and addressing these unique needs is crucial for practitioners.
