Counselling for neurodivergent adults

Many neurodivergent adults seek support with a psychologist after years of trying to adapt, cope, or push through – often without having their neurotype truly understood. Our affirming psychologists offer counselling for adults that supports your goals and wellbeing in ways that fit who you are, without attempting to “fix” your uniqueness or make you appear more neurotypical.

What can our psychologists support adults with?

At Infinity Psychology & Assessments, our neurodiversity-affirming psychologists support adults for a range of issues, including:

• Feeling anxious or overwhelmed

• Depression, low mood, and low motivation

• Stress and burnout (occupational or neurodivergent)

• Emotional regulation and anger

• Socialising and relating to others

• Self-understanding and feeling misunderstood

• Adjustments and life transitions (e.g., starting a new job, starting university, adjusting to parenting)

• Trauma and ongoing stressors

• Navigating a mismatch of communication styles

We also welcome neurotypical clients who are seeking general mental health support, or who are supporting a neurodivergent family member or loved one.

How is our therapy neurodiversity-affirming?

Our team understand that many neurodivergent adults have often had previous expeirences of being misunderstood or pathologised in psychological therapy and health services. When working in a neuro-affirming way, our psychologists:

• understand the importance of and centre the client’s individual experiences

• provide clear communication, transparency, and flexibility around the structure of sessions and the goals for counselling

• take into consideration sensory and communication preferences during sessions

• do not actively encourage masking, hiding, or changing an individual’s unique qualities

• provide a non-judgemental environment where clients can feel safe to unmask or stim (if they would like!)
