A bit about us.
Hi, I’m Katie, the founder of the Neurodivergent Therapy Space. I trained as a therapist during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, gaining both my qualifications and extensive experience working with clients in-person and online.
​
For much of my life, I felt like an outsider - constantly trying to understand my peers while struggling with a deep sense of difference. My thought processes never quite seemed to align with those around me, and my emotions always seemed more intense than anyone elses, I internalised this belief as there something inherently wrong with me; leading to challenges with self-esteem, social isolation, and periods of depression.
​
It wasn’t until adulthood, after raising two children and supporting them through their ADHD and autism diagnoses, that I began to explore my own neurodivergence.
​Through therapy, I worked through past traumas and gained a deeper understanding of my own mind. This journey led me to a place of self-acceptance and inner peace. While I still have difficult days—because I’m human—I no longer live with self-loathing or constant sadness.
​
This personal transformation is what inspired me to create a therapeutic space where neurodivergent individuals can feel truly understood. The Neurodivergent Therapy Space is built on the ethos of creating a safe, accepting environment where people can explore who they are - without needing to explain or justify how their brain works.
​
I’m incredibly fortunate to work alongside a team of passionate, like-minded therapists who share this vision. Andi, who trained alongside me, Liz, Olivia, and Kirstie all joined the team because they connected with the values of this space and related to the challenges that often come with traditional therapeutic approaches.
