Welcome
Neurodevelopmental conditions are complex and difficult to understand.
Neurodevelopmetal refers to a group of conditions that affect the development of the brain and the nervous system, leading to difficulties with learning, communication, social interaction , and motor skills. The number of adults that are diagnosed with Autism and ADHD are on the increase with the two conditions often co-occuring (AUDHD), with estimates suggesting that 30-80% of individuals with autism also meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD.
The latest prevalence studies of autism indicate that 1.1% of the population in the UK may have Autism.
Having Autism and ADHD massively increases the risk of psychological distress, most commonly anxiety and mood symptoms. Moreover , there is a growing recognition that individuals with such conditions are at a higher risk of experiencing Trauma .
If you have recently been diagnosed as neurodivergent , and looking for a confidential and anonymous space to discuss and understand your diagnosis, explore solutions to difficulties, we are here to help.
Our Neurodiversity-Affirming approach to therapy
Autism Spectrum Psychotherapy is a mental health and well-being practice on a mission to empower people from neurodiverse communities to thrive. Our practice follows a neurodiversity-affirming approach which takes into account a person’s neurodivergence and how their brain functions differently from the neurotypical norm; it celebrates those differences ,while still respecting struggles and providing assistance. We also acknowledge the challenges of fitting in within the neurotypical way of being and how traumatising that can be.
Dr Kassy Drosou and all her associates specialise in neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity-affirming sessions are usually 50 minutes long. There is no obligatory number of sessions you need to attend; we offer long- or short-term therapy. Dr Kassy and all her associates work within a clear ethical framework as outlined in the codes of BPS, BACP, and HCPC. We offer psychotherapy as appropriate and agreed at a frequency of once or twice a week. Covered by the majority of private health insurances.
We offer face-to-face and online sessions. Sessions could also be offered in Greek and Italian.
