Best Neurodiversity-Affirming Mental Healthcare Provider 2026 - London!
We are thrilled and deeply honoured to announce that True North Psychology has been awarded Best Neurodiversity-Affirming Mental Healthcare Provider 2026 - London at the SME UK Enterprise Awards 2026, for the second year running.
Winning last year was a milestone. Winning again this year tells us something different: that our commitment to serving the neurodivergent community with compassion, understanding, and comprehensive care isn't a moment in time, it's who we are.
A Testament to Growth and Purpose
This award is a testament to the continued vision and dedication of our founder and director, Dr Sara Tookey, and to how far True North Psychology has grown over the past year.
"Last year, this recognition felt like validation of years of quiet, intentional work," Dr Tookey reflects. "This year, it feels like something more. Over the last year, with the support of our growing team, we've become a genuine multidisciplinary practice, and to be recognised again tells me that what we built wasn't a one-off, it's a standard we can keep building on."
What This Award Represents
This recognition, two years in a row, 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, 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
"Being recognised two years running 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, and reflects a year of real growth: the formation of our multidisciplinary team, four new associates joining us, and the launch of our post-diagnostic support offering.
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. There's more news on our growing neurodivergent support service coming very soon.
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.
The journey continues.
