Across schools, private practices and the disability sector, one thing has always been clear to us – therapy should feel human, not clinical.
At Ascension, we focus on supporting neurodivergent individuals who often feel misunderstood in traditional mental health spaces. We know that seeking help can be intimidating, which is why we focus on creating a safe, relaxed and judgment-free environment.
Mental health shouldn’t come with shame. Your brain works differently, and that’s not a flaw – it’s part of human diversity. Our goal is to help you navigate challenges, embrace your strengths and build strategies that work for you, not against you.
If you’re looking for therapy that truly understands your differences, we’re here for you.
We work with a broad array of presentations, with several key areas of focus:
We offer a wide range of neuroaffirmative assessments to help you better understand yourself, your neurodivergence and your personal needs. We assess for autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia and more!
Many neurodivergent clients experience significant anxiety and stress. We offer personalised strategies and a supportive environment to help you manage anxiety, regain a sense of calm, and navigate life with confidence.
Neurodivergence can shape how people communicate, express emotions, and connect in relationships. We help individuals navigate these dynamics with clarity and compassion, fostering better communication and deeper connection.
From PCOS to postpartum depression to perimenopause, we help you understand how your hormones and your neurodivergence interact, helping you to build strategies that support you through every stage.
Men are often hesitant to seek mental health support, especially if they’re neurodivergent. Our approach is down-to-earth and focused on helping you navigate life in a way that works for your brain.
We help you explore the underlying causes of chronic depression and discover effective coping mechanisms. Many neurodivergent clients may have a harsh inner-critic or experience burnout, which can present like long-term depression.
Childhood is a time of significant change, marked by the challenges of adapting, forming identities and managing peer relationships. We are dedicated to understanding, supporting, and guiding young people through these pivotal years.
Neurodivergent individuals are more likely to engage in addictive behaviours. We offer compassionate and evidence-based care to individuals seeking to overcome addictive behaviours (e.g alcohol, pornography, video-games and cannabis).
Neurodivergent South Asians often face the unique challenge of navigating both cultural expectations and a world built for neurotypical minds. Our approach is both neuroaffirming and culturally sensitive.
Neurodivergent clients often experience significant trauma in their lives. Our therapists utilise evidence-based techniques to support your recovery process, empowering you to reclaim your sense of safety and wellbeing.
Neurodivergent women often go undiagnosed or misunderstood, as their struggles can be overlooked or masked due to societal expectations. We provide a space where neurodivergent women are truly seen and supported.
Living with chronic pain, fatigue, illness, or POTS is exhausting on its own, and even more if you’re neurodivergent. We help understand how your nervous system and your neurodivergence interact, so you can find sustainable ways to manage both.
All of Ascension’s assessments employ a neuroaffirmative approach to diagnosis.

Ascension's Autism Assessments focus on understanding an individual's unique communication style and sensory preferences in order to provide appropriate support.
We focus on understanding an ADHDer's challenges with self-regulation and provide recommendations to create clarity.
Ascension provides combined Autism and ADHD assessments for a truly comprehensive analysis of your needs.
Cognitive potential refers to a person's innate abilities and capacities to think, learn, and process information. This assessment may be useful if you suspect an Intellectual Disability or Giftedness.
We provide comprehensive educational assessments in order to assist individuals with difficulties in reading, spelling, decoding or mathematics.
Struggles with mental health; such as anxiety, depression, OCD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia, or PTSD, can significantly affect your life. By understanding your unique experience, we can offer treatment recommendations and accomodations.
