Psychological Therapy

Psychological therapy that starts with how your mind works

Eton Psychology is the therapy arm of Eton Psychiatrists, a consultant led clinic specialising in ADHD and autism. Our HCPC registered psychologists and psychotherapists work with adults, young adults, children and families who are neurodivergent, think they might be, or have recently been diagnosed. We also see people with anxiety, low mood, OCD, trauma and burnout who want therapy that is practical, evidence based and adapted to the way they think.

Many of the people we see are capable and outwardly successful, and have spent years masking and pushing through. Traditional therapy can quietly treat neurodivergent traits as problems to be corrected. We do the opposite. We start by mapping your strengths, your sensory and executive profile, and the environments that are working against you, and we plan a therapeutic path from there.

Why we are neuro affirming

We have deliberately moved away from compliance based therapy towards a stance that is validating of neurodivergent experience and rooted in a functional understanding of different nervous systems. In practice this means:

• From deficits to functional understanding. We do not treat dysregulated behaviour as a deficit to be corrected. We recognise it as a rational physiological response to sensory overwhelm or executive dysfunction, and we work with the cause.
• Sensory first validation. Movement, stimming and external focus are legitimate ways of grounding. Where standard protocols might call a refusal to sit still wilful, we see a sensory incompatibility and adapt the session.
• Support for alexithymia and rejection sensitivity. Our approach is adapted for people who find it hard to identify emotions, and for the intense physiological pain of rejection sensitive dysphoria, without pathologising either.
• Strengths before symptoms. Every plan begins with what is already working: your attention when it is engaged, your creativity, your pattern recognition, your loyalty and your drive.

Who we help

Adults and young adults with ADHD, autism or both (AuDHD), including people who were identified late, who mask heavily, or who have a high IQ and have been told for years that they are fine. Women and girls whose autism or ADHD has been missed. Children and teenagers who need therapy that fits their sensory world rather than fighting it. Families who want to understand a child's profile and support them at home and at school. People living with ADHD or autism alongside anxiety, OCD, trauma, eating difficulties, low self esteem or burnout. People who have just had an assessment and want help making sense of a new diagnosis.

Our clinical services and fees

1. Psychological and coaching initial assessment

A two session functional and emotional mapping designed specifically for people with ADHD and autism. We explore your life story to identify your core strengths and needs, moving beyond a medical only model, and we leave you with a strategic roadmap for managing your neurotype across personal, academic and professional goals. Two sessions, £595.

2. Neurodivergent friendly psychological therapy

Specialised therapy reframed to be accessible and affirming. We draw on CBT, neuro affirming DBT principles, compassion focused therapy, schema informed work, ACT and trauma focused CBT, delivered in sensory friendly spaces with accessible mindfulness and regulation through a sensory lens. Available in person, online, one to one or in a group. From £200 per 50 minute session.

3. Educational psychology: redefining ability

We move away from the traditional deficit model and the limiting label of a learning disability. Our educational psychology assessment maps your child's unique learning profile, using intelligence profiling (WISC V), targeted learning assessment (WIAT III) and a holistic emotional assessment, so they can navigate school with confidence. In person or online. £1,095.

4. Post diagnostic support and ADHD coaching

Structured support in the months after an assessment, when a new understanding of yourself needs time to settle. Practical work on executive function, overwhelm, routines, relationships and identity, and a joined up plan with your consultant psychiatrist if you are also being treated with medication. Please enquire for details.

Where and how we see you

In person at 10 Harley Street, London, or online across the UK. Our psychologists work alongside Eton's consultant psychiatrists, so if you need a formal ADHD or autism assessment, a medication review or an independent second opinion, it can be arranged within the same team without being passed between services.
