What Is Neurodiversity?

Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in how human brains work. Neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other neurological differences, think, learn, and experience the world in ways that differ from what is often considered the norm.

Neurodivergence is not an illness, and therapy isn't about changing the way your brain works. What therapy can offer is a dedicated space to explore the challenges that can come alongside neurodivergence.

What Brings Neurodivergent People to Therapy

People come to us for all kinds of reasons. There's no single experience that defines what therapy for neurodivergent people looks like.

Some of the things people explore in sessions include:

• Managing anxiety, low mood, or overwhelm connected to neurodivergence

• Processing a recent or late diagnosis

• Building strategies for navigating work, relationships, and daily life

• Working through experiences of feeling misunderstood, dismissed, or different

• Relationship challenges

• Building self-esteem and self-compassion

• Processing difficult experiences from earlier in life that may connect to neurodivergence

• Finding ways to work with your brain rather than against it

You don't need a formal diagnosis to seek support. If you identify as neurodivergent, are in the process of seeking a diagnosis, or simply recognise yourself in some of what's described here, you're welcome to get in touch.
