Ebony is an HCPC-registered Occupational Therapist and neurodiversity-affirming assessor with experience across neurodevelopmental diagnostic settings, specialist and mainstream education, and inpatient mental health. She brings a person-centred and strengths-based approach to everything she does, grounded in a genuine belief that understanding how someone experiences the world (not just how they present within it) is the foundation of meaningful support.

​

Ebony's clinical background spans ADHD, Autism, and Dyspraxia assessment and post-diagnostic support, with a particular focus on the functional and sensory dimensions of neurodivergent experience. Ebony has experience offering assessments using DSM-5 and ICD-11 criteria and contributing to multi-disciplinary formulation in teams. Ebony brings both clinical rigour and real warmth to the assessment process.

​

As someone who's neurodivergent herself, Ebony understands first-hand how much it matters to be assessed by someone who genuinely gets it - and her lived experience meaningfully shapes how she holds space for the people she works with.

​​​

Therapeutic Approach:​

Ebony's approach is rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and a commitment to neurodiversity-affirming practice that goes beyond language. She is particularly interested in how neurodivergent differences show up in daily life - in routines, relationships, environments, and the things that feel harder than they should - and in working alongside people to make sense of those experiences and find what actually helps.

​

She brings a sensory-informed lens to her work, recognising that sensory processing differences are often central to how neurodivergent people navigate the world, and that sustainable support needs to take those differences seriously.
