CBT and Neurodiversity

Everyone thinks and processes the world in their own unique way. I recongise and support the strengths and challenges that come with Neurodiversity.

When it comes to working with Neurodiversity as a CBT therapist there are differences depending on if we are working with ADHD or Autism.

ADHD

With ADHD we can use CBT to explore tools and techniques to help you to manage the things about ADHD that you are struggling with. For example this could be tools to help you when you are procrastinating.

Autism

We are not looking to treat Autism, instead we look at tools that can be adapted for things such as anxiety and depression. For example, this could be looking at thought challenging in a creative way, rather than sticking to traditional CBT techniques.
