Available for Autism and ADHD Assessments - from early September 🌈
Welcome to your safe space
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 is now celebrated within the range of neurodiversity. Whilst Autism isn’t a disorder, it is 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.
Hi, I’m Amy!
I'm proud to be autistic, and I love to support my fellow neurokin.
I’ve been a registered psychologist for 20 years. I’m an unapologetic psychology nerd who kicked off my career back in 2007.
I have a special interest in supporting late identified autistic women and AFAB (assigned female at birth) folk. I also have a special interest in trauma (using EMDR), and chronic health issues, and in particular HSD/EDS. I provide online Adult Autism and ADHD Assessments via Telehealth.
Like most of my extended family (looking at YOU Prior family!) I’ve been a chronic overachiever...I have a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology and a Masters degree in Organisational Psychology.
I’ve worked in private practice therapy for the past 10 years, and I have supported neurodivergent adults for many years.
I offer individual therapy, supervision, telehealth autism assessments and ADHD assessments, and workplace consultancy services.
Let's talk FAQs
Who do you see?
I see autistic adults (self identified is fine!)
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.”- Devon Price
