Reflective 1:1 sessions for women meeting their neurodivergence in adulthood

Navigate Neurodivergence sessions offer a reflective, educational space for late‑identified Autistic, ADHD and AuDHD women. They’re not traditional therapy, they’re a place to contemplate, make sense of your experiences, and explore practical ways of supporting your nervous system, identity and everyday life. 

Everything is grounded in both my lived experience and my professional training, so you’re held with understanding as well as insight. 

You might be newly identified, somewhere in the questioning, or carrying a long‑held sense that something has always been different. Whatever brings you here, these sessions offer space to pause and make sense of it - at your pace, in your own language, with someone who genuinely understands. 

These aren't therapy sessions, and they aren't a course to complete. They are unhurried conversations, gently shaped around what’s relevant for you - whether that’s masking, sensory needs, executive function, identity shifts, or simply the relief of finally being able to speak freely.

We work together 1:1, in person or online, over a minimum of four 75 minute sessions, always starting with Your ND Story - you get to choose the other themes that you feel would support you best from:  

Your ND Story (always first)
Sensory Processing
Executive Functioning
Relationships & Boundaries
Masking & Unmasking
Burnout & Recovery
Nervous system regulation
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria
Work & Career
Parenting & Family Systems
Menopause & Neurodivergence
Money, Risk & Decision Making


After each session you will be emailed a reflective journal and resources which consolidate the work we have done. 

SCHEDULING

We will schedule the dates for the four sessions at the point of booking - these can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly. We can meet in person or online via a secure link on my practice management system Therasee.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

After each session you will be emailed a reflective journal and resources which consolidate the work we have done that week. There is no expectation for you to complete it - it's not homework!

A lovely, supportive space to explore neurodivergence with enough structure to guide you and enough flexibility that you could talk about and reflect on the things that matter to you. I found it a really illuminating process to discover things about myself.

I found Sarah's lovely approach with questions / support / resources etc. all incredibly useful. And it was great to be able to have a combination of lived experience and professional expertise.

I was looking to explore the possibility of me being neurodivergent and what that might mean for me - it's helped me completely reframe myself and my life in a lovely, affirming way, instead of judging myself and thinking that I'm wrong/bad.

This isn't traditional therapy, and it isn't a course to complete. It's a programme of four unhurried conversations, gently shaped around what's surfacing for you.

Navigate Neurodivergence sessions are an optional starting point for women who want a structured, gentle way to understand their neurodivergence, how it shows up in daily life, and explore practical tools to support their nervous system.  


Each session follows a clear, predictable structure so you know what to expect:

  • a short check-in and grounding
  • a focused weekly theme (explained in an accessible way) 
  • guided reflection and discussion
  • identifying patterns, needs, and what helps
  • a gentle “takeaway” for the week (optional)
There is no pressure to talk about anything you don’t want to.
Coming Soon! 

I will soon be offering online group Navigate Neurodivergence support sessions.

Please get in touch if you would be interested and I will add you to my waiting list. 
Neuro-affirming therapy recognises autism, ADHD and AuDHD as natural differences in how people experience and process the world. The focus is on self-understanding, regulation and reducing shame, not changing who you are.

Absolutely, some people find the self understanding they gain from 4 sessions is enough, while others find they would like to explore further - you can choose to do all 12 topics if you feel they would benefit you.

The sessions can open the door to wanting to understand more about yourself. When we finish the programme we will discuss what your needs and next steps are.
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to work with me. I can support you to explore your experience, but I cannot provide formal diagnosis. Please see my extra support page for further information about diagnosis. 

Many people come to me because they are:

  • self-identified
  • exploring neurodivergence for the first time
  • awaiting assessment
  • recently diagnosed and feeling unsure what happens next
I offer these support sessions as a gently structured way to help you understand your own experience before digging into deeper therapy, if appropriate. 
These sessions can be supportive if you’re in burnout or feeling overwhelmed. In fact, this is often when people find the gentle structure of the focus areas most helpful, because it offers clarity without pressure and gives us a way to understand what your nervous system is asking for. 

We take things slowly, focus on what feels possible, and create space for rest, regulation, and making sense of your experience. There’s no expectation to be “doing well” in order to start, however these sessions are not suitable for people in acute mental health crisis. 


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.
