About the Course leader

Hi I'm Dr Liz Dawes, a clinical psychologist and course director at Every Mind Child Psychology.  I meet parents everyday where their neurodivergent child has faced misunderstanding, lack of support, isolation, and often trauma. This has left a lasting mark on the child who believes that it is their fault and feels bad about themselves. Too often, neurodivergent children experience low self esteem, anxiety and low mood due to people around them not recognising and supporting their neurodivergence, who don't celebrate their uniqueness and perspectives on the world. In this course, I hope to change this! This course helps you as parents to embrace your child's neurodivergence, and increase their alignment with their neurodivergent identity.

This course made a real difference in our family life. My daughter was struggling with low self esteem after being treated unfairly at school by her then friends. She was feeling low and not very confident. This course helped me to help her to find herself, to recognise her strengths and embrace her struggles. It's a long road ahead to recovery but we are getting there.

I found this course so interesting to understand why my son hated being autistic. He was diagnosed last year and even though we felt it made sense, he has not been able to make friends with it until now. I feel really empowered as a parent that I can help my child deal with challenges that come up in the future and that he won't see it as 'because he's autistic'.
