Navigate Neurodivergence FAQs

No. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to take part.
Many people come to this programme because they are:
  • self-identified

  • awaiting assessment
  • recently diagnosed and feeling unsure what happens next
This programme is designed to be supportive whichever stage you’re at.

No. I can support you to explore your experience, but I don’t provide formal diagnosis.
Navigate Neurodivergence is a structured, time-limited programme offering:
  • neurodivergence-informed psychoeducation
  • reflective support
  • gentle practical exploration
  • ND-affirming tools and resources
It can feel meaningful and personal, but it is not a therapy service, and it isn’t designed for deep trauma processing or crisis support.
This programme isn’t coaching. Coaching often focuses on goals, productivity, and pushing towards change. Navigate Neurodivergence is a structured, ND-affirming support programme focused on understanding your patterns, sensory and nervous system needs, and what genuinely helps - without pressure to “fix yourself” or perform.
We work at your pace. The structure is there to support you, not pressure you.
Each session follows a clear, predictable structure so you know what to expect.

Most sessions include:
  • 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.
You’re not alone - and many people come to this programme at exactly that point.

The work is paced gently and is designed to reduce shame and overload, not add to it. We can adapt the pace and focus so it feels manageable.

If you’re in significant distress, experiencing crisis, or need trauma-focused support, we’ll talk honestly about whether therapy or additional support would be more appropriate alongside (or instead of) this programme.

Yes - you can take part either:
  • online (via video)
  • or in person in York city centre
We can also discuss what feels most accessible for you, and whether a blend is helpful (availability permitting).
Life happens, and many neurodivergent people need flexibility.
If you miss a session, we’ll discuss the best way to move forward. Where possible, we may be able to:
  • reschedule within the programme window
  • adjust the pacing so you don’t feel behind
The cancellation policy and notice period apply, and this will be clearly explained when you book.
