Frequently asked questions
Do I need a diagnosis?+
No. Self-identifying or suspected is fine.
Will sessions accommodate sensory needs?+
Yes. Lighting, breaks, written follow-ups, online options — we shape the work around you.
Is this cure therapy?+
Absolutely not. Neurodivergence isn't being treated — the surrounding distress is.
