Neurodivergence-informed support
Neurodivergence is not something that needs to be fixed. Therapy can instead offer support with anxiety, low mood, self-understanding, overwhelm or difficult experiences in a way that respects how your mind works.
What this can look like
Presentations can differ from person to person.
You do not need to identify with every example or have a formal diagnosis to begin a conversation.
- Feeling overwhelmed by sensory input, demands or unexpected change
- Masking or working hard to meet expectations at personal cost
- Difficulty identifying, describing or regulating emotions
- Executive-function difficulties with starting, planning or completing tasks
- Anxiety following misunderstandings, uncertainty or social pressure
- Low self-esteem after feeling different, criticised or repeatedly misunderstood
How CBT may help
Understanding the pattern and finding a different way forward
Understand your patterns
Explore needs, triggers and strengths without assuming that every difficulty is caused by neurodivergence.
Make strategies realistic
Develop practical approaches that account for sensory needs, attention, energy and executive functioning.
Reduce shame and self-criticism
Build a more compassionate understanding of difference and challenge unhelpful messages absorbed over time.
What sessions might involve
Collaborative, practical and paced around you
We can agree communication preferences, make the structure predictable and adapt standard CBT tools rather than expecting you to fit the therapy. Goals might focus on anxiety, mood, confidence, coping with demands or understanding your own needs.
CBT does not treat or cure autism or ADHD. The aim is to support the difficulties you want help with while respecting your identity, autonomy and strengths.
