Neurodivergence & ADHD

Neuroaffirming psychological support for adults

For some adults, understanding neurodivergence can provide a new framework for experiences that have previously felt confusing or difficult to explain.

You may be exploring whether ADHD or autism could be relevant to your experiences, adjusting to a recent diagnosis, or simply wanting to better understand the way your brain, emotions and environment interact.

Psychological support may include:

  • Exploring experiences associated with ADHD or autism

  • Emotional regulation

  • Sensory and environmental overwhelm

  • Executive functioning difficulties

  • Burnout and exhaustion

  • Masking and the impact of sustained compensation

  • Self-understanding following diagnosis

  • Identity and life transitions

  • Developing strategies that fit your individual needs

A neuroaffirming approach recognises neurodivergence as part of human variation while also acknowledging that neurodivergent people can experience genuine disability, distress and barriers within environments that may not meet their needs.

The focus is on understanding your individual experience and identifying supports and strategies that are useful for you.
