Autism & ADHD Exploration, Discovery & Self-Identification

Validation and clarity, without the formal diagnosis.

Are you curious about your neurodivergent profile but hesitant to undergo a formal assessment process? Many people seek self-understanding without wanting a full assessment report or the high costs associated with traditional assessments.

I provide an Autism & ADHD Exploration & Self-Identification Package designed to help you confidently understand your neurotype in a safe, psychologically-informed space.

Autism, ADHD & AuDHD Exploration, Discovery & Self-Identification Package+

With a background in both neurodivergence and trauma, I provide a safe, thoughtful environment to develop your self-understanding. I specialise in identifying those who:

  • Have become experts at masking their differences to fit in.

  • Were missed in childhood because they didn't fit a "typical" stereotype.

  • Are navigating the complex intersection of trauma and neurodivergence.

4 - 6 sessions | one hour per session | £560 - £840

Why choose exploration over formal diagnosis?

While I am fully trained in conducting psychologically informed, neuroaffirmative autism & ADHD assessments that adhere to NICE guidelines, I recognise that a formal assessment isn't the right path for everyone.

You may be:

  • Seeking self-understanding rather than a diagnostic label.

  • Wanting to avoid a diagnostic report on your medical records.

  • Looking for professional validation without the expense of a 30-page diagnostic report.

  • Wanting to feel confident in your exploration, discovery & possible self-identification with the guidance of a specialist.

How It Works +

I offer a structured package of between 4 & 6 sessions to fully explore your profile, whether that is Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD.

We will discuss your experiences from a psychological perspective, providing the same level of clinical insight as an assessment, but without the formal diagnostic outcome.

This package will include:

  • Exploration of your needs, mental health and your neurodevelopmental profile.

  • The discovery of a deeper self-understanding through a thorough psychological formulation (understanding) of your experiences.

  • You will finish this process feeling confident in whether or not to self-identify as autistic, ADHD or AuDHD.

  • Recommendations of adaptations that might be helpful for you.

  • Guidance around next steps.

  • This package can be accessed as a stand-alone service or as an addition to your existing therapy to help ground your ongoing work in a clearer understanding of your neurotype.

Is this the right fit for you?

To ensure you get the support you need, please note that this service is not a path to a medical diagnosis.

This package would not be suitable if:

  • You require a formal report for work or educational accommodations.

  • You are seeking access to medical treatment options, such as ADHD medication, either now, or if this is a possibility in the future.

  • You need a formal diagnosis for legal or disability support purposes

  • You will not receive a brief or detailed report following our sessions. This is not a formal diagnosis.
