Empowering Neurodivergent Minds through Respectful, Individualised Support
At Superyou Therapy, we offer a neuroaffirming approach to therapy services.
But what does that mean? Simply, it’s a supportive, strengths-based approach that embraces neurodivergent identities rather than seeking to change them.
Whether you’re autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, or identify with another form of neurodivergence, our team is here to support you in a space that values your unique perspectives, communication style, and lived experience.
What is Neuroaffirming Therapy?
Neuroaffirming therapy is a practice grounded in acceptance, respect, and empowerment. It recognises neurodiversity as a natural and valuable part of human diversity and not something that needs to be “fixed” or “cured.”
This approach:
- Rejects deficit-based or pathologising views of neurodivergence
- Supports clients in understanding and advocating for their needs
- Respects preferred communication styles, behaviours, and identities
- Centres on collaboration, not correction
We work with clients who identify as:
- Autistic
- ADHD
- Dyslexic
- Dyspraxic
- Tourette’s
- PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance)
- And more, whether diagnosed or self-identified
Why Choose a Neuroaffirming Approach?
Many neurodivergent individuals have felt unheard or misunderstood in traditional therapy like Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). Affirming therapy offers an alternative that is safer, more effective, and more empowering!
Common experiences with traditional therapy:
- Pressure to “mask” or appear neurotypical
- Misinterpretation of communication styles or sensory needs
- Focus on eliminating traits instead of understanding them
How affirming therapy is different:
- Encourages self-expression and authenticity
- Prioritises safety, agency, and consent
- Respects stimming, special interests, and sensory regulation
- Helps you explore identity, relationships, and well-being in your own way
Our Approach: Therapy that Fits You
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Our clinicians are trained to adapt sessions to your preferences, communication needs, and sensory profile.
Our practice is guided by:
- Collaborative goal setting – you decide what’s important
- Flexible communication – we use visuals, AAC, writing, and more
- Consent-based support – no pressure to do things that don’t feel safe
- Identity-first or person-first language – your choice, always
- Sensory-informed environments – so you can feel comfortable
We are committed to being trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and culturally safe.
Who We Work With
We provide neuroaffirming therapy for:
- Children – sensory regulation, school support, communication
- Teenagers – identity, mental health, social navigation
- Adults – burnout recovery, life transitions, masking and unmasking
- Parents and caregivers – guidance in supporting neurodivergent family members
Our clinical team applies this approach across a range of therapy services and specialised supports, from occupational therapy and physiotherapy to speech pathology and early childhood interventions.
