Introducing our New Neuro-Affirmative Counselling Service
We are happy to announce a new counselling initiative from Care To Listen.
From Spring 2026, a new neuro-affirmative counselling service will be on offer. This service is part of our ethos and commitment to making counselling accessible and inclusive to the wider community that we serve.
What is Neuro-Affirmative Counselling?
You may have received a formal diagnosis of ADHD, Autism, dyslexia, Tourette’s syndrome, dyscalculia or a specific learning disability; or maybe more than one of these. Perhaps you are questioning whether you are neurodivergent, or have self-diagnosed yourself with one or more of these identities…
We provide a counselling space that is neurologically affirming, which means it is tailored to your brain and nervous system. It aims to offer you a safe space for you to explore your issues, whether they are connected to neurodivergence or not. It’s a safe space to be yourself, to be valued, and have your voice heard.
You do not have to focus on neurodivergence. The choice of topic is yours. The sessions are for you, prioritising what you want to look at together with your counsellor.
We aim to prioritise your lived experience. Every neurodivergent person is unique, and we aim to offer individualised support.
We offer low-cost integrative counselling at £45 per session. You will have access to:
-
A qualified counsellor with specialist training in neurodiversity
-
Sensory accommodations in a specially adapted room
-
Up to one year of counselling
Please let us know about any sensory accommodations or accessibility needs you have. We will do our best to accommodate you.
This service is for adults over 18 years old. You will also need to have a Croydon connection through where you live, work, or study.
Do get in touch to find out if we can assist you. You can email or telephone us. You can ask questions. You are respected, just as you are.
You’ll have the opportunity to speak to a neuro-affirmatively trained counsellor who will help you to identify your specific counselling needs, explore and express your identity in creative, gentle ways at a pace that suits you.
Neuro-affirmative counselling is not about ‘fixing’ people. It’s about understanding and celebrating the unique person that you are.
It can help with such things as:
-
Managing challenges
-
Noticing triggers
-
Exploring coping strategies which work specifically for you
-
Having a voice and speaking up for yourself
-
Improving your wellbeing as defined by you
-
Adapting and exploring your environment
-
Talking through your specific issues (e.g. anxiety, depression, relational issues, etc)
It is about empowering you.
