✨ ADHD is finally being talked about more – and thank goodness!

But… late diagnosis is still so often dismissed. And that dismissal hurts. It isn’t just annoying – it can feel like rejection in the body. 💔

RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) is real.
It’s the echo of all the times we were told we were:
❌ too much
❌ too direct
❌ too difficult

We don’t choose to react that way – and believe me, I work hard to accept those parts of me. But it’s not a choice.

🌟 The upside?
Many of us with ADHD are deeply empathic, and we pick up on the “vibe” of others instantly. That’s my superpower as a therapist.

And as a teacher of therapists, I get to model that acceptance – reminding others that their neuro-spiciness isn’t a flaw… it’s what makes them brilliant. 💡

A bit about us: Training By Liberty was created because my teaching experience of other courses and awarding body material was that it had 2 fundamental flaws.
1. Anyone was allowed on the course, because it was about bottoms on seats and numbers and 100% achievement
and
2. They did not prepare counselling students to be out in the real world and work as a professional therapist.

Having taught all the major awarding body courses and having been given the opportunity to explore what was needed I set about designing a course that 1. would have small, select classes and 2. would include safeguarding training, risk assessments, preparing to work online, exploration of trainees own philosophy

It would be delivered by hardworking, passionate and practising therapists who upheld the personal moral qualities required for professional counselling and particularly humility, identity and integrity.

And then, to top that all off the course was then recognised as a professional qualification for Counsellors by the NCPS, so the hard work was rewarded.

If you want to join us for our Diploma beginning September then there are only 2 places left so be quick and book in your interview
email info@trainingbyliberty for the link and we look forward to meeting you
