Neuroaffirmative Assessments and Coaching
You’ve come to suspect you may have Autism, ADHD or a combination of both or perhaps you are a family member or a friend researching on behalf of a loved one.
For some, this process can initially feel overwhelming.
Where to begin? Where to get help? Will a diagnosis change anything? Do I need medications? Can I even afford this?
I hear you.
Understanding Your Neurotype
My approach to understanding neurodivergence is rooted in the concept of the 'neurotype'—your unique cognitive and perceptual world.
I offer in person and online sessions, and through a blend of assessment tools and personalised coaching, I help you map out your neurotype, providing insights into how it influences your thoughts, feelings, and interactions with the world.
This process fosters self-awareness and self-acceptance, key steps towards living in harmony with your neurodivergence.
Merging Sessions
Merging Sessions offer a supportive space for individuals with Autism and/or ADHD, whether formally diagnosed or self-diagnosed, to explore their neurotype, strengths, and challenges.
Recognising that labels can evoke mixed emotions, these sessions focus on self-discovery and empowerment rather than shaping predetermined narratives.
Either online or in person, tailored to individual needs and held over 1 - 3 sessions, we cover topics such as post-diagnosis healing, understanding neurotype, navigating social communication, and advocating for accommodations in work or educational settings.
My Merging Sessions are not therapy, but a bridge between assessment and continuing with therapy if you wish to.
