Post-diagnostic support

At NeuroDiverse Online, we are able to offer post-diagnostic support. This can be offered to the client themselves, or their parents if they are a child/young person.

Understanding your diagnosis

A big part of post‑diagnostic support is psychoeducation. This means taking time with a clinician or support professional to explore what the diagnosis actually means in everyday life. You might look at the diagnostic criteria together, discuss how they apply to your experiences, and unpack how traits have shaped your strengths, challenges, and coping strategies over time. This process can be surprisingly empowering – it helps many people make sense of patterns they’ve lived with for years and gives language to things that previously felt confusing or isolating.

Therapeutic approaches and personal preferences

Post‑diagnostic support is highly personalised. Some people prefer a structured, cognitive‑behavioural approach, where you explore the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and experiment with new strategies. For ADHD, this might include CBT for ADHD or ADHD coaching, which focuses on practical skills such as planning, organisation, emotional regulation, and managing attention. Others prefer non‑CBT approaches – something more reflective, relational, or creative.

For Tourette’s or tic disorders, behavioural therapies like Comprehensive Behavioural Intervention for Tics (CBiT), Habit Reversal Therapy (HRT) or Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) may be offered. These approaches help you understand the patterns around tics and develop tools to reduce their impact.

Support for parents and families

When a child or young person receives a diagnosis, parents often benefit from support. This might involve learning about the condition, understanding how to support emotional regulation, navigating school systems, or adjusting expectations at home. Parent‑focused sessions can also offer space to process feelings, ask questions, and build confidence in advocating for your child.

Navigating school and education

Post‑diagnostic support often includes help with understanding what accommodations or adjustments might be available in school, college, or university. This could involve discussing Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), exam arrangements, assistive technology, or strategies for communicating with teachers. The goal is to make the learning environment more accessible and reduce barriers that might otherwise get in the way of progress.

Support in the workplace

For adults, post-diagnostic support may include exploring reasonable adjustments at work – things like flexible hours, written instructions, quiet spaces, assistive software, or changes to workload structure. Some people also benefit from workplace coaching, which focuses on building practical systems that align with their strengths. Understanding your rights and how to communicate your needs can make a huge difference to confidence and wellbeing at work.

A personalised journey

Ultimately, post‑diagnostic support is not a one‑size‑fits‑all package. It’s shaped around the specific difficulties you want to focus on, the goals you have, and the therapeutic style that feels right for you.

“After years of know that somehow the wiring was just a bit different, it is really helpful to know what it is that we are all dealing with. Thank you very much for this - and the fact that you had to consider whether this was the right diagnosis and take some time over this, greatly reassures us, as we both feel it does fit with our daughter. Our challenge now is to get the right support, and give her the right support.”

“My therapist is a phenomenal human and a fantastic therapist. I came to her at a very low point in my life, at risk of being signed off work and not really functioning. I worked with my therapist over several months through my diagnosis and the severe anxiety issues that were part of it. It was hard work but she was with me every step of the way. She knew when to push and when to let me breath and she helped me come back to myself from a place of severe disassociation.”

"My therapist’s compassion, understanding, warmth, and support always stood out and meant so much to me when I was in distress. She is a wonderful therapist and I will be forever grateful for the privilege of her counselling... I appreciate all of your time and help over the past several month - you've helped me navigate through a difficult time and I'm grateful for all of the very useful coping tools and techniques you taught me along the way. I'll be sure to be in touch if/when I may need a "top-up" in the future. (Likely, I think!)".

“Many thanks. The report has surprisingly really summed up my son. It has been so long with teachers not understanding him as a person or not realising his neurodiverse qualities that it has been really refreshing you all understood him and his nuances so well. I'm sure there will be lots of positive aspects for him out of this.”

"I was a client of yours & the work I did with you has been truly life changing."

“Thank you for your recommendations, they are all brilliant. The process has been extremely helpful, and I wouldn’t have been able to feel like this without all of your help and support.”
