Support for Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD women navigating overwhelm, burnout and identity Online UK & York

When you realise you may be neurodivergent, suddenly everything makes sense...and yet nothing makes sense at all. New awareness can feel overwhelming, confusing and strangely relieving all at once. 

Are you exhausted from years of coping, unsure how to move forward, or struggling to understand why everything feels harder now? Can you remember the last time you slept well, or felt comfortable in your own body? Do you know who you are without the mask?

I offer 'Navigate Neurodivergence' - structured reflective sessions for women meeting their neurodivergence in adulthood. These sessions are a space to slow down and make sense of it - at your pace, in your own language, with someone who gets it. 

We explore themes such as: 

  • your ND story
  • sensory processing
  • nervous system regulation
  • executive functioning
  • boundaries in relationships
  • work and career
  • masking & unmasking
  • burnout & recovery
  • parenting & family systems
  • peri / menopause
  • money, risk & decision making
  • rejection sensitive dysphoria

In both my clinical and lived experience, many autistic and ADHD adults leave assessment with a diagnostic report and some insight, but very little support for what comes next. Navigate Neurodivergence offers the understanding, language and grounding that so many people are missing after realising they are ND.

I also offer neuro-affirming psychotherapy to help you navigate late-identified neurodivergence. Whether you are already diagnosed, or just curious, I help you to make sense of what’s happening in your mind and body. Our work is based on establishing what your needs are, the patterns you would like to change and how you can live in a way that feels sustainable and true to who you are.

Sarah Read, Psychotherapist, Online & in York
Who it's for
  • Women discovering or exploring neurodivergence
  • Women experiencing burnout, masking fatigue, sensory overload
  • Women wanting clarity, self‑understanding, and sustainable ways of living

Sarah is fantastic at listening in a non-judgemental way...she has really helped me in a short space of time and would recommend her to anyone who does not know where to get started with therapy.

Therapy with Sarah has been a space for me to get my thoughts in order and work out what I actually think and feel about things. I have never really considered what's happening in my body before, but now I recognise different sensations which helps me adjust how I react.

Sarah is so easy to speak to. She really makes me feel heard and understood and provides practical support whilst not putting pressure on me to do anything I’m not comfortable with.

I aim to respond within 48 hours of your request, so if you have not heard from me within that time please check your junk/spam folders in case my reply has dropped into there.
