Neuro-Affirming Practice
We support you in a way that is safe and affirming
We don’t try to “fix” children. We help them thrive, exactly as they are.
What Does “Neuro-Affirming” Mean?
Neuro-affirming practice means recognising, respecting, and embracing the many different ways that neurodivergent individuals experience and interact with the world.
Instead of trying to make a child fit into neurotypical expectations, neuro-affirming therapy focuses on:
Valuing each child’s unique language style
Prioritising strengths and interests
Honouring natural ways of thinking, feeling, and connecting
Empowering children and families to feel accepted, confident, and supported
Our practice honours the diversity of lived experiences, recognising the impact of trauma and intersectionality, while affirming neurodivergent ways of being and supporting authentic communication.
At Serennu Therapies, we work collaboratively with families to create individualised strategies that enhance communication, without masking or changing who a child truly is.
What is Neurodivergence?
Neurodivergence refers to natural variations in how people’s brains work.
These differences influence how someone processes information, learns, communicates, and experiences the world.
Examples of neurodivergence include:
Autism
ADHD
Dyslexia
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)
Cerebral palsy
Down's syndrome
Our Approach
At Serennu Therapies, our neuro-affirming approach is grounded in:
Child-led sessions that follow their interests and pace
Trauma-informed care that creates safe, responsive spaces
Collaboration with families and educators to ensure consistent support across settings
We also work closely with parents to equip you with tools, insight, and strategies that help you support your child in ways that feel respectful and empowering.
Supporting You Wherever You’re At
Whether your child has had a recent diagnosis, you're waiting for an assessment, or you're just starting to explore what neurodivergence means, we’re here for you.
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to get support.
We can help you understand:
Your child’s unique communication style
How to reduce overwhelm and support regulation
Practical strategies to support connection and growth
If you’re feeling unsure of what your child needs right now, or how to best support them, a neuro-affirming approach can offer clarity and compassion.
