The Wonders of Wellbeing Podcast

Neurodivergence in Education with Dr Claire Hepworth

Episode 47

Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning and behaving and differences are not viewed as deficits. 

In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Dr Claire Hepworth, an HCPC Accredited and Chartered Clinical Psychologist. She additionally holds an MSc in Health psychology, a PhD in Psychology and is Co-Lead for CPD on the Division of Coaching Psychology committee BPS.

Claire has twenty years of experience in psychology research and clinical practice in the UK, working in NHS services, private practice and the Education sector. She provides consultation, assessment and psychological therapy, to individuals, families and professionals. Claire provides strategic consultation, coaching, supervision and training to schools and education professionals, with a particular focus on whole school wellbeing through inclusion and trauma informed practice.

Claire and I discuss: 

  • The different types or neurodivergence
  • The biggest challenges neurodivergent students are facing at school
  • How schools are supporting neurodivergent students and what needs to be done to create more supportive environments 
  • The future of neurodivergence
  • And much more!

Thank you for coming on this journey to create a better future for our life long learners!
