Adult ADHD & Autism assessments + support by neurodivergent psychologists
Neurodiversity
Some of us have a neurotypical brain, and some have a neurodivergent brain (different to the norm). Autism and ADHD are examples of a neurodivergent brain.
All neurotypes are important, valued, and critical to society. Many neurodivergent people feel forced to mask their neurotype in order to ‘fit in’. Sadly, this often leads to many issues.
Neurodivergent Affirming Care
Autism does not need to be fixed or cured. It’s not a disorder. It’s simply a different way of thinking, feeling and interacting.
"Neurodiversity may be the birthplace of some of humanity’s greatest minds" - Harvey Bloome
Autism and ADHD are now celebrated within the range of neurodiversity. Whilst these are not a disorder, they are a disability, but one that has unique gifts and strengths.
The neurodiversity affirming approach focusses on inclusion and acceptance of all neurotypes. It’s informed by trauma research and the social model of disability.
It challenges the medical model of disability.
It’s also about identifying our unique strengths.
We believe that our neurotype is essential to society and that we deserve respect.
We (neurokin) are the experts in neurodiversity, not neurotypical individuals.

Welcome to your safe space my friend.
At Neurokin Psychology, we have a special interest in supporting late identified adult autistic folk. We also have an interest in supporting adults ADHD and giftedness. Some of us have a special interest in common co-occuring chronic health issues, including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder (HSD), POTS, Chronic Fatigue, and so on.
​
As a clinic, our core values are compassion, kindness, authenticity, respect, transparency, and accountability.​
​
We offer individual therapy and assessments where we promise that you will feel heard, respected, and supported. ​
​
We know what it's like to be autistic, have ADHD and trauma, and to not get the right kind of help from someone who actually gets it. (CBT?....no thanks!!)
​
We get it, and we get you.

Let's talk FAQs
Who do you see?
We welcome all adults, but have particular experience seeing female who are 18 and over who think they may be autistic and or have ADHD.
Does online therapy work?
There is growing evidence that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy. Some people may find the convenience of online therapy is important, and feel that they are more comfortable discussing personal aspects of their life online.
Is that water or vodka that I see you drinking during our sessions?
Hahaha - wouldn't you like to know! 🥂
"Refusing to perform neurotypicality is a revolutionary act of disability justice. It's also a radical act of self-love.”
