Best Neurodiversity-Affirming Mental Healthcare Provider 2025 - London!
We are thrilled and deeply honoured to announce that True North Psychology has been awarded Best Neurodiversity-Affirming Mental Healthcare Provider 2025 - London at the SME UK Enterprise Awards 2025.
This marks our first award recognition—a milestone that validates years of dedicated work and our unwavering commitment to serving the neurodivergent community with compassion, understanding, and comprehensive care.
A Testament to Passion and Purpose
This award is a testament to the vision and dedication of our founder and director, Dr Sara Tookey, who has been building True North Psychology as a passion venture, slowly and with intention, over the past few years.
"To have these efforts acknowledged by a panel that reviews small businesses like mine feels both validating and humbling," Dr Tookey reflects. "Over the last year and a half, with the support of my family, friends, and our growing community of practitioners, we've taken significant steps toward creating a practice that can truly serve the uniquely neurodivergent community we're passionate about supporting."
What This Award Represents
This recognition celebrates the importance of:
✓ Compassionate, comprehensive care over quick fixes
✓ Neurodiversity-affirming approaches that celebrate different minds
✓ Creating inclusive spaces where people can truly be themselves
✓ Individualised care and holistic support
Dr Tookey emphasises: "This award belongs to every neurodivergent person who has trusted us with their journey thus far, every practitioner who shares our commitment to affirming care, and everyone who believes that different minds deserve understanding, not merely a 'yes/no' diagnosis."
Our Commitment to Neurodiversity-Affirming Care
At True North Psychology, we believe that neurodivergent individuals deserve more than just a diagnostic label. Our approach goes beyond standard assessment protocols to provide:
Holistic understanding of each individual's unique neurodivergent profile
Recognition of internal experiences often missed by traditional diagnostic approaches
Trauma-informed, compassionate care throughout the assessment and therapeutic journey
Celebration of neurodivergent strengths alongside identification of support needs
Inclusive, affirming spaces for all, including women, non-binary individuals, LGBTQIA+ community members, and late-diagnosed adults
Looking Forward
"This is a huge motivator to keep going, keep building, keep connecting, and working to improve access to affirming mental health services," says Dr Tookey.
This recognition validates our commitment to providing comprehensive, neurodiversity-affirming mental healthcare that truly understands, celebrates, and supports the unique experiences of neurodivergent individuals.
We are energised to continue developing our services, expanding our community of neurodiversity-affirming practitioners, and supporting more individuals on their journeys of self-understanding and growth.
Thank You
To every client who has trusted us with their story, to every practitioner who shares our passion for affirming care, and to everyone who believes in celebrating neurodiversity, thank you. This achievement is as much yours as it is ours.
This is just the beginning.
