Dr Sarah Cross | Consultant Clinical Psychologist | Parent & Advocate for Neurodivergent Children and Families

Are you exhausted from constantly thinking about what your child needs, navigating school and professionals, managing difficult moments and trying to hold everything together? Perhaps you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, guilty or low - or you've simply lost sight of yourself somewhere along the way. I work with parents & carers of neurodivergent children who need space to understand what is happening for them. Together, we slow things down and explore your experiences, relationships and needs with warmth and curiosity. The aim isn't to become a perfect parent, but to feel more grounded, understood and able to move forward.

I offer therapy and consultations for parents and carers of neurodivergent children (no diagnosis required). We can explore anxiety, overwhelm, guilt, low mood, identity, relationships and the emotional impact of parenting. My approach is warm, collaborative and neuroaffirming, rooted in psychological understanding.

There are two different services that I offer for families :

Therapy
For the parent who is thinking:
“I'm exhausted. I'm anxious. I've lost myself. I need somewhere to think about me.”
This is about the parent's emotional world.

Consultation
For the parent who is thinking:
“I don't understand what's happening and I need help making sense of my child's needs and what might help.”

You don't need to know where to start. We can start there together.
