A different kind of Neurodivergent therapy for Repton
If you're on the A38 / A5132 corridor between Repton and Derby, Neurodivergent therapy is available either in-person at the Wilson Street clinic or online — whichever fits your week better. 8 miles from Derby via the A38 / A5132.
The physical clinic is in Derby city centre (DE1). Repton sits 8 miles away in the DE65 district, close to Repton School and the Saxon crypt, with easy access along the A38 / A5132. Online is available to anyone in the UK.
For neurodivergent, the toolkit here spans neurodivergent-affirming psychotherapy, hypnotherapy for regulation, late-diagnosis identity work. Which combination is used depends entirely on what's presenting in the room — not on a fixed protocol pushed onto every client.

What actually happens in a session
- Step 1
Address the driver
Using neurodivergent-affirming psychotherapy and, where useful, hypnotherapy for regulation, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
- Step 2
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath.
- Step 3
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
- Step 4
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
The evidence behind the work
Trust in therapy is earned session by session. It is also underwritten by proper credentials: BACP-registered, CNHC-registered on the PSA-accredited register, and GHSC-accredited for hypnotherapy.
- ✓ You can bring stims, fidgets or sensory tools — this is not a mask-required space.
- ✓ Late-diagnosis identity work is central, not a footnote.
- ✓ Sessions are adjusted for sensory load and processing style.
