We believe in embracing the unique strengths of neurodivergent children and young people. Whether we offer neuro-affirming therapeutic support, or training and upskilling professionals, therapists and practitioners, or even enjoying a coffee with families, we always advocate for:
Changing the Narrative - Not the Child!
We want each neurodivergent child and young person to be their best and happiest authentic selves, fully accepted by their family, caregivers, and educational and vocational environments. Through our CPD training, we emphasize that family support and acceptance are crucial for fostering a sense of belonging. These elements are key drivers in maintaining positive mental health and reducing psychological and physical burnout, especially for neurodivergent children.
We are committed to empowering parents, caregivers, practitioners, and professionals to support neurodivergent children and young people through a strengths-based model alongside the SPELL framework and an experience-sensitive approach. Our CPD training is designed to enhance family support and promote an inclusive culture that embraces diversity in all its forms while also aiding positive mental health. We pledge to integrate mental health counselling into our framework to further support the well-being of neurodivergent children.
We believe that every neurodivergent child and young person has the right to embrace and express their authentic self, free from judgment and full of potential. Through our CPD training, we are dedicated to fostering environments that provide inclusivity, celebrate diversity, and promote equity, which are pivotal in creating a sense of physical and mental well-being. Our family support initiatives, alongside mental health counselling, further our commitment to cultivating a world where neurodivergent children and young people thrive, respected for who they are and encouraged to reach their fullest potential.
Our aim is to empower the parents, siblings, and caregivers of neurodivergent children. By working in tandem, we strengthen relationships by offering observational sessions, interventions, and comprehensive summaries of findings based on the SPELL framework and our experience-sensitive approach.

We offer free counselling for parent-carers of neurodivergent children, providing essential family support through our cooperation with Chrysalis. Our intern counsellors create a non-judgemental safe space using a neuro-affirming approach. Additionally, we provide mental health counselling through ACT creative therapy sessions for neurodivergent 0-25 year-olds. These one-to-one sessions take place in Great Yarmouth and are delivered by our experienced mental health and neurodivergent counsellor, Chantelle.

Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits. At Paradigm Neurodiversity, we use the term ‘neurodivergence’ to include a number of conditions, not just autism and ADHD.
Our team at Paradigm has extensive experience in supporting neurodivergent children and understands that each child is unique with individual needs. We offer CPD training and family support, as well as mental health counselling services. Please get in touch, and we will be happy to discuss how we can help.
