A Truly Neuro-Affirming Approach

A Truly Neuro-Affirming Approach

Abstract infinity symbol made of intertwined green and orange lines on a light background.

As a neurodivergent clinician (ADHD) and a parent to an Autistic and ADHD daughter, my approach is rooted in lived experience and is tailored to your unique way of thinking, whether you are neurotypical or neurodivergent, I adapt my tools to fit you, not the other way around.


In our sessions, we move away from 'fixing' and toward understanding and adaptation.

  • Sensory-Friendly: Cameras-off options, fidget-friendly sessions, and low-demand starts.
  • Flexible Communication: Shared digital maps and visual session summaries.
  • Authenticity: A space where you are encouraged to "unmask" and be yourself.

Meet Mel Ricketts

Smiling woman with blonde hair and a grey top.

I am a High Intensity CBT Therapist trained on a BABCP Level 2 accredited course, with over 7 years of specialist experience in mental health. My goal is to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and genuine, lived understanding. I believe therapy should be a collaborative journey where your expertise on your own life is just as important as my psychological training.
