A Neurodiverse-Affirming Social Skills Journey.
This personalised therapy program offers eight weeks of 1:1 support, grounded in an inclusive, trauma-sensitive, and neurodiversity-affirming approach to social skill development. It’s thoughtfully designed to nurture self-worth, positive self-esteem, self-efficacy, self-advocacy, and emotional intelligence in neurodiverse individuals.
Each session invites participants to explore their unique strengths, understand what feels good and safe in social interactions, and develop the confidence to express their needs. Together, we explore how to set meaningful boundaries, navigate consent, and build self-advocacy skills in ways that feel supportive and empowering. The program focuses on developing affirming, respectful social skills to help participants feel more connected and confident across a variety of environments.
