Emma Pratt: Champion for Neurodiversity
There’s no one right path through this, but you don’t have to walk it alone.
We’ll follow a clear structure, with room to adapt the pace depending on what feels manageable and right for you.
I’m a Clinical Psychologist based in Burnie, Tasmania, with over 17 years of experience walking alongside adults exploring ADHD, autism, and identity in all its complexity.
✦ I work with adults who’ve spent years masking, adapting, and looking like they’ve got it all together, even when it doesn’t always feel that way on the inside.​ It can feel like everyone else got the manual for life and you’ve been left trying to piece it together without a guide. You’re not alone, and none of this is your fault.
✦ My approach is collaborative, neuroaffirming, and paced to meet you where you are. Whether you're ready for a formal assessment or just beginning to ask the deeper questions.
✦ Sessions are available online or in person and can include diagnostic assessment, coaching, or simply space to reflect and reconnect with who you are beneath the layers.
This isn’t about fixing. It’s about rediscovering the parts of you that were always there and creating space to thrive on your own terms.
Mapping Your Neurotype:
A 5-Step Diagnostic Journey
Discovering your neurotype can be a transformative experience, providing insights into your unique way of thinking, being, and communicating.
Based on my years of experience, I have created a comprehensive 5-step process to understanding and embracing your neurotype, whether it's Autism, ADHD, or another form of neurodivergence.
-
STEP ONE: Clinical Intake SessionOur journey begins with establishing a foundational understanding of your mental, social, and medical history. This initial session is crucial for setting the stage for a tailored diagnostic assessment, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for you to express yourself fully.
-
STEP TWO: Questionnaires and ScreenersFollowing the intake, you'll engage with selected questionnaires and screeners at your own pace. These tools are designed to delve deeper into your experiences, providing valuable insights that guide the subsequent stages of the assessment.
-
STEP THREE: Clinical AssessmentThe heart of the diagnostic process involves a thorough clinical assessment, utilising tools like the MIGDAS-2 for Autism and DIVA-5 for ADHD, among others. This step is aimed at gaining a nuanced understanding of your neurotype, considering various factors such as your background, health challenges, trauma history and personal context.
-
STEP FOUR: Clinical Report (Optional)For those seeking a detailed summary of the findings, a clinical report is available. This document summarises the insights gained through the assessment, offering recommendations tailored to your unique neurotype and circumstances. Those who do not select a report, will receive a 1 to 2-page summary letter that includes any assigned DSM-V diagnoses.
-
STEP FIVE: Merging Sessions (Optional)Beyond the diagnostic process, I provide an opportunity for further exploration and support. While not therapy, these sessions are designed to help you navigate life with your newfound understanding of your neurotype, empowering you to embrace your strengths and address any challenges. Merging Sessions are time limited to 3 sessions.
