Neuro-affirming therapy

We don’t always land on our feet, but we can help you to get back up.

Are you ready to live life in full colour?

Neuroaffirming 'therapy'

We'll help you to:

​

  • Understand and accept who you are

  • Cultivate healthier relationships

  • Leverage your strengths

  • Set healthier boundaries

  • Increase your self worth

  • Feel happier and less anxious

  • Enjoy life more

​

Our approach is attachment-based, evidence-based, strengths-based and trauma-informed AND trauma-responsive.

​

Note that this is more about providing you with autism disability support, as opposed to 'therapy' per se. 

​

Therapy is for if you have associated anxiety, depression, and so on.

Key concerns

  • ​Chronic health issues (eg, chronic fatigue, chronic pain)

  • Eating issues, and BED and ARFID (not AN yet sorry!)

  • Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome & Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder

  • Medical trauma due to gaslighting

  • Orthostatic intolerance; POTS

  • Parenting coaching from neuroaffirming lens

  • Perinatal mental health (PND, PNA, PTSD, birth trauma, infant bonding and dyads)

  • PTSD and C-PTSD

  • Relationship issues for ND/NT and ND/ND couples (but not couples therapy sorry)

  • Stress due to being an auDHDer

  • 2e/3e ('giftedness')

Our approach

We want to see your favourite cat videos and sci-fi memes, and to hear all about your current SPINs.  

​

We're passionate about self-care and self-compassion, and will actively role model this for you.​ 

​

We spend a significant amount of time exploring what you think good therapy looks and feels like, and what you want from therapy.

 

We believe (and will actively role model) in striving to have authentic and rich connections with people who understand and accept you the way you are- 'quirks' and all. 

Tools used

In 'therapy' sessions, we are led by you and your goals. When appropriate and used respectfully, we work intuitively to interweave a myriad of tools including these approaches:

​

  • Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

  • Internal Family Systems (‘Parts Work’)

  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) adapted to our neurokin

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Dialectic Behavioural Therapy (DBT and RO-DBT- only the ND affirming parts)

  • Schema Therapy adapted to neurokin, only where respectful and appropriate

​​

We offer a CBT-free zone!
