Neurodiversity

ADHD, Autism & AuDHD, Perth and Telehealth

Neurodivergent experience, including ADHD, autism, and AuDHD, is a big part of the work at Imrama Psychology. It often overlaps with other things Claire works with, including eating and body image concerns, anxiety, identity, and perinatal experience.

It can also overlap with hormonal health and chronic conditions such as POTS and MCAS. You can read more about these connections on the Women's Hormonal Health and Chronic Health Conditions pages.

Claire takes a neurodiversity-affirming approach across all of her work, not only when neurodivergence is the main concern.

Claire has a particular interest in working with women and gender diverse people who were missed or misunderstood as children. Many are only now, as adults, starting to understand that they are neurodivergent. This can bring up a mix of feelings, including relief, grief, and questions about what comes next. You don't need a formal diagnosis to access support in this area.

Please note: Imrama Psychology does not conduct formal neurodevelopmental assessments at this time. If you are looking for a diagnostic assessment, Claire can discuss appropriate referral pathways with you.

FAQs

Do you see adults who were only diagnosed with ADHD or autism later in life?

Yes. Many of the people Claire works with were missed or misunderstood as children, and are only now, sometimes well into adulthood, starting to make sense of a lifetime of masking, compensating, or being told they were "too much" or "not enough." This includes people of any gender, though Claire has a particular interest in the experience of women and gender diverse people whose presentations are especially often missed.

Do I need a formal diagnosis before I can start therapy?

No. You're welcome to start working with Claire whether you have a formal diagnosis, a self-identification, or simply a sense that something about how your mind works hasn't been named yet. Support isn't conditional on paperwork.

Do you carry out ADHD or autism assessments?

Imrama Psychology does not conduct formal neurodevelopmental assessments at this time. If you're looking for a diagnostic assessment, Claire can talk through appropriate referral pathways with you.
