Navigating Neurodiversity: Understanding ADHD and Autism


Explore how counselling can support ADHD and autism, helping you manage overwhelm, unmask, and live more authentically with neurodiversity.

More and more people are beginning to explore what neurodiversity means for them. Whether you have a diagnosis of ADHD or autism, suspect you might be neurodivergent, or are simply curious about certain traits you recognise in yourself, it can bring up a mix of emotions.

For some, discovering they may be neurodivergent feels like a relief — finally having a framework to understand lifelong patterns. For others, it can feel overwhelming or even unsettling, raising questions about identity, relationships, and the future.

Counselling can offer a safe space to process these experiences. Together, we can explore what neurodiversity means for you — whether that’s learning strategies to manage overwhelm, understanding how masking may affect your energy, or finding ways to communicate your needs more confidently. Therapy isn’t about labelling; it’s about supporting you to live more authentically, with greater self-acceptance and compassion.

If you are navigating traits or diagnoses like ADHD or autism, remember you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Having a non-judgemental space to reflect, ask questions, and explore what helps you can make a real difference. If you’d like a safe and supportive space to explore what’s on your mind, I offer counselling face-to-face in Ludlow, Shropshire, and online across the UK. Get in touch here to find out more.
