Hi, my name is Stephen, and I am a psychotherapist, working with adults in Surrey, London and online. One of my specialities is working with neurodiverse adults.

As a qualified assessor for both ADHD and Autism, I understand that living with neurodiversity can be incredibly hard. It can feel impossible to read social cues, and emotions can be overwhelming. Concentration and focus, and finishing tasks, can demand all of our energy. The knowledge, or even sense, of being different can affect our own self concept, and our relationships with others and the world around us.

I offer a space for us to explore those feelings together, both in terms of your condition itself, and how it impacts your day to day life. I understand how ADHD and autism manifests, and can work with you to help support with whatever difficulties you face.

ADHD and Autism can’t be ‘cured’ as such. Neurodivergence focused therapy can help make sense of past experiences, especially pre diagnosis, and one of my passions is helping those with a neurodiversity get as close as possible to equality of outcome. Neurodivergence means different, not worse, and I see you as a whole person, not a list of deficits.

In addition, I am aware of the challenges and difficulties someone who is a carer for, or partner or family member of, someone who is neurodiverse. Having a space to discuss this can be hugely impactful.

If you are neurodiverse, or someone in your life is, and you would like to talk about how therapy can support with that, please get in touch: stephen@thepsychotherapistlondon.com
