Occupational Therapy for Neurodivergent Adults
A supportive, neuroaffirming space to better understand yourself, navigate everyday life, and build a way of living that feels sustainable, meaningful and aligned with who you are.
Making sense of yourself
For many neurodivergent adults, especially those diagnosed later in life, there can be a mix of clarity, relief, confusion and grief.
You may be starting to understand yourself in a new way — recognising patterns, experiences and challenges that previously didn’t make sense.
Occupational Therapy offers a space to explore this understanding, without pressure to change who you are.
Instead, we focus on helping you understand your needs, your strengths, and what a more sustainable way of living might look like for you.
What support can look like in everyday life
Support is practical, reflective and shaped around your life.
We may explore:
Understanding your patterns, needs and energy levels
Unpacking masking and unlearning expectations
Navigating burnout and recovery
Creating routines that feel sustainable
Supporting communication and relationships
Building self-trust and confidence
This is not about “fixing” you — it’s about understanding what works for you.
Who Support is for
We work with adults who are:
Late-diagnosed Autistic or ADHD
Exploring identity and self-understanding
Experiencing burnout or ongoing overwhelm
Finding everyday life difficult to manage
Wanting to build routines that actually work
Looking for support that feels aligned and respectful
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting — we meet you where you are.
Practical tools and strategies
Alongside reflection, we explore practical supports that can make everyday life feel more manageable.
This may include:
Sensory strategies
Executive functioning supports
Routine design and planning
Environmental adjustments
Communication tools
Boundary setting
Everything is tailored — there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
Support is flexible and designed to fit your life.

Session length typically ranges from 45 to 75 minutes, with flexibility depending on your needs.
