Our approach
At Dr Grace Hancock Psychology & Autism Support, therapy provides a safe space for children and adolescents to discuss concerns, gain understanding of their current differences and challenges, and explore new ways to manage them. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and may include one-to-one sessions with a psychologist, peer group sessions, or parent-focused sessions depending on what would be most helpful. The approach emphasises neurodiversity-affirming care, helping young people build understanding of how their brain works and what this means for them day-to-day. Parents are supported to understand their child through a neuro-affirming lens while exploring systems and responses that foster healthy family connections and emotional wellbeing.
Working with families
Parent involvement is central to the service. The provider offers dedicated parent support sessions alongside individual therapy, and guides parents to understand their child through a neuro-affirming lens. The service works with parents to explore helpful systems and responses that can be put in place at home, fostering healthy family connections and providing emotional support. Psychologists also work with schools and other community settings to help increase understanding and provide coordinated support for students.
