Welcome to this, the first of my 4 part mini-series, Neurodivergent Voices in Therapy In this mini-series, I had the pleasure of speaking with 4 amazing therapists about how their neurodivergence impacts them as private practitioners.  We explore what it’s like to run a practice when you are affected by autism, ADHD, dyslexia or a combination of those things.  In the first of this mini-series, I’m delighted to have Chris Oxborrow with me, and we talk about some of her experiences of running a practice with ADHD. We look at how to manage some challenges being neurodivergent may bring, and also what positive aspects they have. We explore: What even IS neurodivergenceGetting a diagnosisWhat is ADHD Tax?Fault Vs repairMasking: internally and externallyThe need to practice self-compassion About Chris OxborrowChris describes herself as a neurodivergent Psychotherapist who specialises in working predominantly with high-achieving personalities, but also with neurodivergent clients and those navigating menopause (sometimes all 3!).  She supports clients to discover their authentic sense of themselves and how their needs can be met with more compassion and self-acceptance.  From Jan 2024 she will also be working as a Menopause and HRT Educator, supporting clients to discover how they want to manage their menopausal experience and how to access appropriate HRT-related health care.
