13th June 2026 – “Neurodivergent Clients and Their Experiences with Conflict” presented by Dr Samantha Hardy
Hello all,
We are looking forward to our upcoming professional development presentation which will be held on Saturday 13th June 2026 from 11:00am to 12:30pm
CV Presents:
Neurodivergent Clients and Their Experiences with Conflict
Most conflict training is built on neurotypical assumptions about how people signal distress, process disagreement, and communicate needs, which means neurodivergent clients are routinely misread, even by well-intentioned practitioners.This workshop examines how neurodivergent clients may experience conflict differently: from recognising it, to holding it, to communicating through it.

Dr Samantha Hardy is the Director of The Conflict Management Academy, and provides mediation, coaching, training and other services to help people manage conflict more effectively. She is the founder of the REAL Conflict Coaching System and the author of a number of books including Conflict Coaching Fundamentals.
Samantha will discuss their experience on this topic, followed by a Q & A and the option to network with others in industry, in small groups, following the presentation.
This is a 90-minute presentation relevant to the Counselling / Healthcare industries, complete with an assessment component. The presentation meeting link will be provided via email an d a ‘Certificate of Attendance with online assessment’ is issued to all members and registered visitors (expressions of interest welcome – reach out via our Contact Us page).
