Receiving a diagnosis or realising you’re neurodivergent can change how you see your past, your identity, and your future.

"Who Am I Now?" is a reflective workbook we’ve designed to help you process that shift.

Through guided journalling and reflection, it supports you to explore your experiences, understand your strengths and challenges, and begin building a narrative that feels authentic to you.

This resource is designed to be used at your own pace.

Being in therapy often involves trying new or differing things. New ways of looking at your situation, setting different boundaries, practicing new emotional regulation skills.

They might feel strange at first but they usually work!

Adolescence can feel confusing, for both parents and young people.
Especially when you're parenting an autistic teen.

Our video on ‘Decoding Adolescence for Parents of Autistic Teens’ offers insight into the real questions parents ask us every week:
💙 “How do I support independence without losing connection?”
💙 “When should I step in, and when should I step back?”
💙 “How do I know if this is typical development or something more?”

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

This week recognises and celebrates the strengths, differences and perspectives of neurodivergent individuals.

At Amherst Psychology, we see neurodiversity not as something to “fix”, but as part of human diversity.

Celebrating neurodiversity also means challenging outdated narratives and creating environments where people can thrive as they are.

At Amherst Psychology, we’re proud to support neurodivergent adults and children through a range of assessments and affirming therapy.

Feel it. Notice it. You don’t have to act on it.

Take a breath, acknowledge your emotion, and respond intentionally - not impulsively.

Now that the Tell Me Lies finale has aired, a lot of people are reflecting on the relationship dynamics portrayed throughout the series.

Sometimes it’s easier to spot unhealthy patterns on screen than in our own lives.

If you saw parts of yourself in the confusion, the emotional highs and lows, or the self-doubt, you’re not alone. And you’re not “too sensitive.”

Exploring these patterns in a supportive, professional space can help you rebuild clarity, boundaries, and confidence.

At Amherst Psychology, we’re here to support you in understanding your relationship experiences and moving forward in a way that feels steady and empowering.

Reach out when you’re ready 🤍

Behind the scenes planning for our upcoming webinar:
Decoding Adolescence – 10th March

We’re building this session around the real questions parents ask us every week:
💛 “Is this just teenage moodiness?”
💛 “Is my teen burning out?”
💛 “How do I know when therapy is needed?”
💛 “Why has everything escalated so quickly?”

This isn’t theory-heavy.
It’s practical, compassionate, and grounded in clinical experience.
