What We Do
This Is Me Psychology provides Psychological support to understand and manage Neurodivergent conditions such as Autism and ADHD. Using a neuro-affirming approach we support people to thrive and achieve their full potential.
​
We provide a range of services including individual therapeutic support; post-diagnostic support packages; consultation and advice for schools; EHCP reports; supervision; neurodivergent workshops, training and more.
​​​
We can see people of all ages either face to face in our clinic in Exeter or else online.
Therapeutic Support
At This Is Me Psychology we believe that everyone should be routinely offered support following a diagnosis of Autism, ADHD or AuDHD to explore what their Neurodivergence means to them and offer information and strategies to help people to manage this effectively.
​
-
We use a neuro-affirming approach to help people to understand and embrace their Neurodivergent identity. Focusing on the many strengths and abilities that they do have to help them to flourish.
-
​We recognise that everyone is different and therefore offer sessions on an individual basis to target that person's specific needs.
​
-
We ensure that Neurodivergent support is kept separate to Mental Health services, so as to avoid people feeling like they need to change, or worse that they are to blame in any way.
​
-
Sessions are available in a timely fashion when individuals are ready to access support and not just after an assessment.
​
-
We provide support to people all ages. People can return for further sessions at a later stage, to support them with the many different life events that occur as we get older.
​
-
For supporting adults (be that parents or partners), we provide a safe supporting space to discuss people’s understanding of Neurodivergent conditions. We can provide proactive strategies that help optimize the environment around the Neurodivergent person in order to help them to thrive and succeed in life.

Meet Our Clinical Director
Dr Emilie Moorhead (BSc, DClinPsy, CPsychol, PGCert)
Hello! My name is Dr Emilie Moorhead and I'm the Clinical Director/ Chartered Clinical Psychologist here at This is Me Psychology.
​
Professionally, I have over 18 years experience working with Neurodivergent people of all ages. This includes Autism, ADHD, Tics and Tourette's Syndrome. Personally, I have lived experience of Neurodivergence in my family. I gained my Clinical Psychology Doctorate through the Universities of Coventry and Warwick and am registered to work as a Practitioner Psychologist through the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as well as being a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS).
​​​​
I'm a strong advocate for Neurodivergence and the strengths associated with this. All too often the diagnostic process focuses on the weaknesses and the difficulties attached to this lifelong condition. This can undermine a person's self-esteem and make it harder for them to accept their own identity. Instead it is important to help a person to gain a full understanding of themselves and the strengths that they do have, so that they can create a solid foundation on which to belong and ultimately succeed in life.
Additional Services
EHCP ASSESSMENTS
As a Clinical Psychologist specialising in working with Neurodivergent people, Dr Moorhead is uniquely positioned to be able to carry out Clinical Psychology assessments for the EHCP process, which focus directly on the impact that Neurodivergent conditions have on a young person's academic, social and emotional functioning.
​​
Taking a holistic view, she listens to the concerns of parents, the young person and their teachers in order to develop a detailed psychological formulation of their difficulties and make specific recommendations about how best to address this.
​
Dr Moorhead has training and experience as an expert witness and can attend court to present her findings as needed.
​​​

Having a mix of both professional and personal lived experience of Neurodivergent conditions, our Clinical Psychologists are expertly positioned to offer training on Neurodivergence.

SUPERVISION

​
She is registered with both the HCPC and BPS and has experience working in the NHS and in private practice.
