Our Founder's Story:
Dr. Sara Tookey, our founder and lead psychologist, knows firsthand the transformative power of a neurodivergent diagnosis in adulthood. Her personal journey inspired her to develop the service she wished had existed when she was seeking answers.
As someone diagnosed neurodivergent as an adult, I've experienced the frustration of long NHS waiting lists and the limitations of quick, impersonal private assessments. I knew we deserved better. That's why I've dedicated myself to creating a service that offers more than just a 'yes' or 'no' diagnosis. At True North Psychology, we see your assessment as the beginning of a journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. And we offer post-diagnostic support and resources to provide you with a path forward.

Feeling overwhelmed trying to navigate life with an neurodivergent brain in a neurotypical world?
Whether you're recently diagnosed, self-identified, or exploring your neurodivergent identity, we understand the unique challenges you face.
Comprehensive diagnostic assessments aligned with NICE guidelines. Our process includes:
Full clinical and psychosocial
evaluation
Detailed developmental
history
Collaborative discussion of results and recommendations
​Our goal is to provide a thorough understanding of your unique neurotype, so that you can understand yourself better and live the life you want to live.
