Neurodiversity Specialists

Autism assessments and
neurodiverse-friendly therapy,
thoughtfully designed for every individual

We built the service
we wished existed.

The Cognitive Collective was founded by two best friends with a shared belief: exceptional care should adapt to the individual, never expect the individual to adapt to the service.

After years of supporting autistic and ADHD clients, we realised we'd already been quietly changing the way we worked by making thoughtful adjustments, adapting our communication and creating environments where people felt genuinely comfortable. Starting The Cognitive Collective simply gave us the freedom to build an entire service around that philosophy.

Today, everything we do is shaped by one simple idea: people shouldn't have to change who they are to access exceptional support.

Why we're different.

​Thoughtful by design. We believe exceptional care is found in the details.

That's why we ask about sensory preferences before appointments, send photographs so you know exactly where you're going, create spaces where you can feel comfortable being yourself and adapt every step of the experience around your individual needs.

These aren't extras to us—they're simply part of how we believe support should be.

Clarissa, CBT Therapist  - The Cognitive Collective

Working with Clarisssa

Clarissa is an excellent therapist ! She is empathetic and a great listener. She offers strategies for everyday life rather than just 'tea and sympathy'.

 

Clarissa has helped me to understand myself in a way that no other therapist has before thanks to her understanding of neurodiversity. Clarissa also challenges me to change my patterns of behaviour and have hope for the future. 

I highly recommend Clarissa!!

Hannah, CBT Therapist  - The Cognitive Collective

Working with Hannah

My autistic daughter has been working with Hannah at the Cognitive Collective for a few months now and I cannot recommend them highly enough. After an initial call, Amanda understood exactly the challenges we are facing and paired my daughter with the perfect Therapist, for her circumstances. Hannah has taken things at my daughter's pace to gradually build up a relationship, tapping into some of her interests and hobbies and begin to explore some of the areas she needs help with.

Amanda, CBT Therapist  - The Cognitive Collective

Working with Amanda

I can’t recommend therapist Amanda Hudson highly enough. From our very first session, she recognised signs of undiagnosed ADHD that had previously been missed. She referred me to the fantastic Dr Bruno, who went on to formally diagnose me and support me with the right medication.

Her insight, professionalism, and genuine care have made such a difference, and I’m incredibly grateful for her support.
