Celebrating The Difference

At A Safe Space to be Me, we specialise in providing neurodivergent-affirming support for children, young people, and adults with different Neurotypes such as ADHD, Autism, PDA, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, and other neurodevelopmental differences.

Our approach is rooted in understanding, respect, and lived experience, creating a space where every individual feels seen, accepted, and supported just as they are. 

 

Equality 

We belive in equality for all neurotypes, but equality isn’t about treating everyone the same, it’s about recognising that everyone’s needs are different. True equality means providing equitable support, where each person receives the understanding, adjustments, and opportunities they need to thrive.

​

Our dedicated team offers support tailored to neurodivergent needs. We focus on emotional wellbeing, executive functioning, sensory regulation, and self-understanding, empowering individuals to build confidence and thrive in their everyday lives.

​

Whether you’re seeking one-to-one support, guidance for your child, workplace or educational support, or community connection through our groups and workshops, our service is designed to meet you where you are.

​

At A Safe Space to be Me, we believe neurodiversity is not something to be fixed, but something to be celebrated and supported. Together, we create a safe, compassionate environment where you can explore your identity, understand your needs, and grow at your own pace.

“ The consideration taken to meet ND needs blew me away. I have never felt so validated, understood and accepted.” – Service User

“ It is helpful to share with others who are in the same situations and the informed personal experience of those leading the workshop is so insightful” – Service User

Further Information

We recognise the current pressures on primary care in relation to all aspects of the work they do, not just in relation to ADHD.

​

The intention of this service is not to create additional workload for GPs or other practitioners, but rather to reduce pressure arising from the increasing number of patients presenting with ADHD-related difficulties.

​

The ADHD Support While Waiting Programme, early intervention service is designed specifically for adults who are awaiting ADHD assessment, awaiting follow-up from assessment, or attempting to access support. It is a non-clinical, psychoeducational and practical support programme, delivered by qualified practitioners, and aligned with NICE guidance.

​

The core aim of the programme is to:

  • Support individuals experiencing functional difficulties (e.g. executive dysfunction, emotional regulation challenges)

  • Reduce distress, overwhelm, and burnout

  • Improve day-to-day functioning and engagement with services

  • Prevent escalation into crisis or higher-tier services

  • Provide psychotherapeutic education

​

Importantly, this is not a diagnostic or assessment service, and participation does not require formal confirmation from primary care if the patient has the requested information.

 

Referral Process - 

​

To ensure minimal impact on time, we have built in multiple alternative verification pathways, including:

  • Self-referral via QR code & evidence

  • Self-declaration supported through our triage process

  • Signposting by GP practice staff

  • HSC confirmation where available

  • GP letter - A template of which we provide

​

This means that patients can access the service without any GP involvement if preferred.

​

The funding requires that the patient/service user MUST have verifiable information of having been referred and or waiting on follow up for ADHD related support.

​

This initiative to work alongside primary care and secondary care in a supportive capacity, rather than adding to existing pressures.

​

We genuinely value the role of GPs and other medical practitioners.
