Welcome to this, the first of my 4 part mini-series, Exploring Neurodivergence In Therapy.
In this mini series, I had the pleasure of speaking with 4 amazing therapists about how their neurodivergence impacts them as private practitioners.
We explore what it’s like to run a practice when you are affected by autism, ADHD, dyslexia or a combination of those things.
So if you are neurodiverent, or know people that are, this is for you.

In the first of this Exploring Neurodivergence In Therapy mini-series, I’m delighted to have the fabulous Chris Oxborrow with me, and we talk about some of her experiences of ADHD.
We look at how to manage some challenges being neurodivergent may bring, and also what positive aspects they have.
We look at:
- What even IS neurodivergence?
- Getting a diagnosis
- What is ADHD Tax?
- Fault Vs repair
- Masking: internally an externally
- The need to practice self compassion
