About Us

Hi. I’m Lisa, a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience in supporting neurodivergent people, both professionally and in my personal life. I have always loved working in this area, and became aware early on in my career about the need for more understanding, support and services for autistic people and those with ADHD.

This led to me completing my doctoral research in this area whilst completing my clinical training. Since qualifying in 2016, I have worked within a range of settings, including with autistic adults with and without learning disabilities, and with children who have experienced developmental trauma.

In my most recent NHS post, I worked within a children and young people’s Autism and ADHD diagnostic assessment service. This work really helped me to recognise the need for access to prompt, thorough and supportive assessment, in addition to more support following diagnosis.

I am enthusiastic about offering both of these services in a neuroaffirmative way. To

me, this means working collaboratively with people, supporting them to explore and understand their differences, and to celebrate their strengths.

In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, reading, running and anything Disney or Harry Potter related!

Hi. I’m Claire. I have been qualified as a Speech and Language Therapist for 19 years. I started my career by completing a Psychology degree, before going on to complete a PGCE in primary education with a focus on special educational needs, and working as a teacher.

Through my teaching work, I became interested in the field of speech and language therapy and its importance in supporting people with a vast range of different needs. Since qualifying as a Speech and Language Therapist, I have worked with adults with Learning Disabilities, in both community and inpatient settings.

I have also worked in a secondary Special Educational Needs school, and in neurorehabilitation and forensic teams. These roles have helped me to develop my interest and experience in neurodivergence and led me to pursue one of my current NHS posts, where I work within an adult Autism diagnostic service, supporting both the assessment and postdiagnostic process.

In my spare time, I enjoy climbing, running and being in the countryside.

Hi. I’m Bianca, a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience in supporting

neurodivergent people. I am passionate about working in this area and have learnt a great

deal from the clients I have had the pleasure of working alongside.

After completing a Masters in Neuroscience at University College London and a Doctorate in

Clinical Psychology at The University of Southampton, I have applied my learning to a range

of different contexts and worked with individuals facing complex challenges in the NHS and

private sector. I am currently working as a Senior Clinical Psychologist in a Children and

Young People’s ADHD and Autism NHS diagnostic service, where I have learnt the

importance of completing high quality assessments and timely post-diagnostic support. Prior to this role, I have worked in both inpatient and community Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). I am particularly experienced in supporting young people and their families with mental health difficulties, as well as people struggling with the effects of trauma.

I believe in empowering clients and sharing helpful tools and insights to help them confront

the difficulties they may be facing in their life. It is important to me to be able to do this in a

collaborative way based on what is important to the person in front of me and their strengths.

I strive to offer a compassionate, non-judgmental and safe space for people to feel listened

to and understood.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, being outside in nature

with my puppy, travelling, paddle boarding and tending to my many house plants!
