Our Approach
Our Approach
As a multiply neurodivergent occupational therapist with lived experience of Agenesis of Corpus Callosum, Dandy-Walker Syndrome, Autism and ADHD, Clare believes in supporting neurodivergent individuals to thrive as their authentic selves.
The goal of our practice is not to change the person, but to support them.
We believe that neurodivergent traits are not deficits but differences. Just as an emu can't fly like most birds but can run very well, neurodivergent people have our own innate ways of socialising, playing, and experiencing the world.
