Using Transactional Analysis Creatively with Neurodiverse Clients (ADHD & ASC).

What We’ll Explore

Life Scripts: How early decisions form unseen narratives — and how neurodivergence refracts these scripts around visibility, control, and belonging.

Racket Systems: Understanding the emotional “transactions” that keep familiar feelings on repeat, and learning how to rewrite them through creative exercises.

Ego States in Action: Bringing Parent, Adult, and Child into dialogue through imagery, role-play, and sensory engagement.

You’ll Experience

• Guided creative exercises to help clients externalise and re-script old patterns

• Reflective group process linking TA theory with lived neurodivergent experience

• Practical interventions for use in therapy placements or clinical work

• A grounded understanding of how neurodivergent wiring affects emotional regulation, time perception, and relational dynamics

• Themes That Commonly Arise in This Work

• Feeling unseen or “too much”

• The loop of overcommitment and burn out

• Shame as a learned survival strategy

• Balancing structure and spontaneity in the therapeutic frame

You’ll Leave With

• Practical tools and tips on how to set up your practice for neurodivergent clients

• Greater confidence in applying TA creatively and flexibly

• Tools for engaging neurodivergent clients experientially and safely

• A renewed sense of curiosity and compassion for neurodiverse narratives
