A Safe Space for ADHD
At A Safe Space to Be Me, we provide neurodivergent-affirming support for individuals with ADHD and other neurotypes, their families, caregivers, and the environments they live and work in.
We recognise that having an ADHD Neurotype intersects with other neurodivergent experiences and can shape every area of life, from emotional wellbeing, relationships, identity to learning and employment (and everything else in between) .
Our services are designed to reflect this complexity. We offer bespoke support for all neurodivergent individuals. From neurodivergent peer support spaces, ADHD-informed counselling, family and parent workshops, and practical tools that honour diverse communication styles, sensory needs, and executive functioning differences.
We collaborate with the Trusts, schools, service providers, and workplaces to promote better understanding, inclusion, and adjustments that make a real difference. Grounded in a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach, our work centres on not only lived experience, supports self-advocacy, and fosters authentic connection.
Whether you're navigating diagnosis, seeking strategies that work for you, or supporting someone you care about, we’re here to walk alongside you.
Feeling overwhelmed? Unsure where to start?
You’re in the right place.
Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed, suspect you might have ADHD, or you’re a parent, teacher, or professional looking to understand more , we’re here to support you. Without pressure, judgement, or long waiting lists.
At A Safe Space to be Me, we know ADHD is more than distraction or hyperactivity, it’s a complex and often misunderstood way of being. We approach it with compassion, community, and lived experience.
ADHD is one of many brain "neurotypes". Contrary to popular belief, they estimate that the "neurotypical" brain makes up only 10% of the population and the rest are made up of other varieties of neurotypes!
Would you benefit from support with living with an ADHD neurotype?
