• Our approach

  The practice uses a neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based approach that recognises and celebrates how individuals experience and interact with the world. Therapy moves away from pathologising differences and instead focuses on appreciating the unique strengths neurodivergent people bring, while acknowledging the adversity they face in a neurotypical-biased world. Sessions use Rogerian, mindfulness-based, acceptance and embodied approaches, with EMDR where appropriate, all guided by compassion, curiosity and respect for each person's capacity for growth. Therapy is not about fixing or forcing change, but about understanding patterns, reconnecting with your body and values, and finding ways forward that feel meaningful and sustainable.

• Meet the team

  The team includes Krysia Kostrzz (Director & Registered Psychologist) with a Bachelor of Applied Science and Masters in Applied Psychology (Community Psychology), who brings clinical psychology experience, seven years in the EdTech industry, published research work, and her own lived neurodivergent experience. Timothy Skinner (Registered Psychologist) holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Health Psychology and is trained in the UK; he has extensive experience across regional and rural communities, supporting people with long-term physical health conditions, chronic pain, PTSD, and his own lived experience of neurodivergence. Both psychologists bring professional training alongside personal understanding into the therapy space.

• Your first visit

  The first appointment is a 60-minute initial session where the psychologist takes time to learn about your story and background. You'll complete online questionnaires before your appointments to help gather information about your history and experiences. During the session, the psychologist will explore your concerns—whether that's stress, anxiety, depression, or learning about your neurodivergent identity. The expected therapy time is 50 minutes, with the final 10 minutes used for psychologist note-writing. The approach is collaborative and curious, designed to help you feel safe exploring your experiences at your own pace.
