Therapy for Neurodivergence

Being neurodivergent can shape the way you experience the world - how you think, feel, communicate and connect. You may have always felt different, or only recently begun to explore what neurodivergence means for you. Perhaps you live with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or another way of processing the world, and you are seeking a space where you don’t have to explain or apologise for who you are.

Therapy for neurodivergence offers that space. It can be a place to pause, reflect and begin to make sense of your experiences in your own time. In our sessions, we can explore how neurodivergence influences your relationships, identity and sense of self with curiosity, empathy and respect.

What is
Therapy for Neurodivergence?

Therapy for neurodivergence is not about changing you or making you fit a certain mould. It is about understanding yourself more deeply and finding ways of living that feel authentic and sustainable.

As a therapist offering therapy for neurodivergence, I draw from an integrative approach, blending insights from different therapeutic traditions to meet your individual needs. We might explore patterns of thought or behaviour, experiences of difference or misunderstanding, and how you relate to the world around you.

Many clients experience this work as a chance to see themselves with more compassion, to recognise strengths they may have overlooked, and to find language for experiences that have long gone unnamed.

Signs You Might Benefit from Therapy

You might find therapy for neurodivergence helpful if you:

• Identify as neurodivergent, or are beginning to explore that possibility

• Feel misunderstood or exhausted by masking or adapting to others’ expectations

• Experience stress, burnout or anxiety linked to sensory overload or social demands

• Struggle with self-criticism, shame or low confidence

• Want to better understand your emotions, relationships or sense of identity

• Are seeking a space where your way of thinking and feeling is accepted and valued

People come to therapy for many reasons. Some want to reflect on their diagnosis or identity, while others simply want a space to rest from the constant effort of fitting in. Whatever brings you here, therapy can offer a supportive place to explore it.

How Therapy for Neurodivergence Works

Therapy begins with a conversation. In our first session, we can talk about what has led you here and what you hope to explore. You can share as much or as little as feels right, and ask questions about how I work.

Over time, therapy for neurodivergence can involve exploring patterns in relationships, managing stress or overwhelm, and reflecting on the impact of being neurodivergent in a world that often feels built for someone else. I draw from different therapeutic traditions, adapting the process to suit your needs.

Sessions unfold at your pace. My role is not to offer quick fixes, but to create a space of safety and curiosity where you can begin to understand yourself more fully.

My Expertise and Approach

I trained at the Minster Centre, one of the UK’s leading psychotherapy training centres, with an integrative approach that allows flexibility in how I work. This means I can draw from different therapy traditions to meet you where you are.

I have experience supporting neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD and autism, as well as clients living with anxiety, depression, stress and burnout. I also work with members of the LGBT+ community, activists and others seeking to make sense of complex identities and experiences.

Many clients describe therapy for neurodivergence as a place where they can finally bring their full selves without masking or self-editing. My aim is to offer that same space: understanding, compassionate and free from judgement.

The Benefits of Therapy for Neurodivergence

Every person’s experience of therapy is different. What unfolds depends on what you bring and what feels possible for you. Many of my clients experience therapy for neurodivergence as a space where they can begin to:

• Feel more at ease with who they are

• Reduce the need to mask or perform

• Recognise and appreciate their strengths

• Develop language for their emotions and experiences

• Feel less isolated in how they see the world

These changes often happen gradually, through gentle exploration and reflection. Therapy may not take away every difficulty, but it can create a deeper sense of understanding and self-acceptance, a foundation for living with more confidence and ease.

FAQs About Therapy for Neurodivergence

What is therapy for neurodivergence?

Therapy for neurodivergence is a space to explore what it means to live as a neurodivergent person, whether that involves ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or another way of processing the world. It’s not about fixing or changing you, but about understanding yourself more deeply and finding ways to live that feel more authentic and manageable.

Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy for neurodivergence?

No. Some people come to therapy with a formal diagnosis, while others are still exploring whether they might be neurodivergent. Therapy can be a supportive place to reflect on that question and what it means for you, without any pressure to label or define yourself.

How is therapy for neurodivergence different from other kinds of therapy?

It often involves paying closer attention to the unique ways neurodivergent people experience the world, for example, how sensory overload, executive functioning, or social differences might shape daily life. The focus is on understanding your experience rather than pathologising it.

Can therapy help with burnout or overwhelm related to being neurodivergent?

Many people find therapy helpful for exploring burnout, exhaustion or the strain of constant masking. Together, we can look at how these experiences show up in your life and what might help you feel more balanced and supported.

What if I’ve had negative experiences in therapy before?

Sadly, some neurodivergent people have felt misunderstood in previous therapy experiences. If that’s true for you, we can talk about what didn’t feel right before and what might make therapy more accessible and supportive this time.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes. I offer therapy both in person, in Hackney, and online. Some clients prefer online sessions because they can be more flexible or comfortable, especially for those who find travel or new environments challenging.
