Asperger Personalities and Counselling
Training Courses
Counselling, Psychotherapy and other
language-based therapeutic approaches can have adverse
effects on the AS personality if the therapist is
unaware of the particular way in which these individuals
function.
- When someone communicates through verbal language
alone, 93% of communication is lost to her/him.
- When someone perseverates on specific topics that
are emotionally charged, then encouraging them to
talk about these only serves to escalate the anxieties.

Asperger Personalities and Addictions
Training Courses
Many rehabilitation centres use reflective
approaches to addressing life styles and behaviours
eg 12 Steps programmes. These programmes often involve
the necessity for the individual to scrutinise his/her
past in order to redress the balance. This can be
traumatic for the AS personality as there is a strong
tendency to re-live events as if they are happening
for the first time, and towards perseverative behaviour,
both resulting in escalated anxieties, sometimes with
dire consequences.

Offenders and Asperger Personalities
Training Courses
Many young people with AS personalities
fall foul of the law. This can be extremely distressing
for their families and friends, but understanding
how the AS personality operates can help prevent these
activities and their consequences.
- When someone has no real understanding of consequences,
punitive or rehabilitative measures will have no
effect. For instance, saying 'if you do that then
this will happen to you' will not have the desired
result.
- when a person views things from his/her own perspective,
each desire becomes a compulsive act without pausing
for thought.

Clincal Hypnosis and the Autism Spectrum
Training Courses
The self-empowerment inherent in hypnotherapy
has the potential to enable people with ASD, particularly
those with Higher Functioning Autism or Asperger’s
syndrome, to manage their own stress levels sufficiently
well to avoid anxieties escalating, thereby improving
social functioning.
Our courses encompass the following
issues:
1. the nature of the Autism
spectrum – social construct, inheritance, impairment;
2. the advantages of an individualised
approach for these individuals vs standardised delivery
of generic services;
3. the contra-indications of
using a language based therapy with individuals whose
interpretation may be different from the majority
– alternatives to language;
4. facilitation of self-empowerment
– autonomy and Rights.
The modules are designed to mesh smoothly
with existing course content to an equivalent depth
of information to the rest of the course material
– whether higher or further education.
The following is delivered as an intensive
course to qualified trainers over a 5-day period.
• Understanding the Autism Spectrum
including Asperger Syndrome
• Symptom presentation – children
and adults
• ASD, anxiety disorder, stress, and
depression
• Social phobia and other phobic responses
• Transference and counter transference

• Contra-indications and Co-morbidities
• Trauma and trauma responses
• Risk assessment and management
• Case Studies - Customised script
writing
This course can be broken down into smaller modules,
suitable for trainees, if desired.
