​​​
We can see people of all ages either face to face in our clinic in Exeter or else online.
Therapeutic Support
Using a neuro-affirming approach we offer bespoke support to people of all ages.​​​​
Young People/ Adults
​Many people are not given any support following their diagnosis. We can offer bespoke psychological support and coaching to help you to gain a better understanding about what it means to be Neurodivergent and suggest strategies to manage this more effectively.
​
These sessions may include developing a positive identity; boosting your self-esteem; managing transitions; improving mental wellbeing; improving social interactions and reducing sensory concerns.
We can support you to thrive in life!
Parents/Guardians
We can help you to gain a better understanding of your child's identity and suggest effective strategies you can use to support them to thrive across all ages.
​​
We understand that for some parents it may be hard to adjust to having an Neurodivergent child. We are here to support you in making that transition easier.
​
We can provide both proactive and reactive strategies to help improve emotional regulation, increase focus, reduce sensory overload and strengthen relationships.​​
Spouses/Partners
Having one partner who is neurodivergent, whilst the other is neuro-typical can make relationships challenging to navigate at times. It may mean that you have to work harder to communicate your feelings to each other, and to find a shared understanding.
​​
We can offer spouses a space to explore these differences and start to bridge the gap between Neurodivergent and Neurotypical perspectives to help strengthen your relationship.
Siblings
Whilst there can be a lot of benefits of having a Neurodivergent sibling, it can also be difficult at times too. Without support, having different perspectives, or managing sensory overload can adversely affect sibling relationships.​​
​
This Is Me Psychology is here to give siblings space to talk about and validate their feelings. We provide age-appropriate information about Neurodiversity and allow siblings time to ask questions in order to help to foster understanding, empathy and acceptance. We provide the tools and resources needed to build stronger sibling relationships.
Meet Our Clinical Director
Dr Emilie Moorhead (BSc, DClinPsy, CPsychol, PGCert)
Hello! My name is Dr Emilie Moorhead and I'm the Clinical Director/ Chartered Clinical Psychologist here at This is Me Psychology.
​
Professionally, I have over 18 years experience working with Neurodivergent people of all ages. This includes Autism, ADHD, Tics and Tourette's Syndrome. Personally, I have lived experience of Neurodivergence in my family. I gained my Clinical Psychology Doctorate through the Universities of Coventry and Warwick and am registered to work as a Practitioner Psychologist through the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
​​​​
I'm a strong advocate for Neurodivergence and the strengths associated with this. All too often the diagnosis of Neurodivergent conditions focus on the weaknesses and the difficulties attached to this. There is too much emphasis on what someone cannot do. Instead, I believe it is important to help people to understand who they are and develop their own unique identity based on their strengths.
