What We Do
This Is Me Psychology provides Clinical Psychology support to understand and manage Neurodivergent conditions such as Autism, ADHD and AuDHD. 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 able to access specialist support following a diagnosis of Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD. Receiving a diagnosis is often just the beginning of the journey. Our post-diagnostic support provides a safe, supportive space to explore what your neurodivergence means to you, helping you better understand yourself while offering practical information, personalised strategies, and tools to navigate everyday life with greater confidence.
We use a neuro-affirming approach that focuses on understanding, acceptance, and self-compassion. Rather than viewing neurodivergence as something to be "fixed," we help people recognise and embrace their unique way of thinking, celebrating their strengths while identifying strategies to support areas of challenge. Our aim is to help every individual flourish in a way that works for them.
We provide support for children, young people, and adults. Every person's experiences, strengths, and support needs are unique, which is why all sessions are tailored to the individual. Together, we focus on the areas that matter most to you and develop practical approaches that fit your life.
We also offer support for parents, partners, and family members. These sessions provide a safe space to develop a greater understanding of neurodivergence, ask questions, and explore practical, proactive strategies that help create environments where neurodivergent individuals can thrive, feel understood, and reach their full potential.
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 19 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 am a passionate advocate for neurodiversity and the many strengths that can be associated with different ways of thinking, learning, and experiencing the world. Too often, the diagnostic process focuses primarily on the challenges and differences associated with Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD. While it is important to acknowledge these difficulties, an emphasis on deficits alone can undermine a person's self-esteem and make it more difficult for them to understand, accept, and embrace their neurodivergent identity.
I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to develop a balanced understanding of themselves—one that recognises both their challenges and their strengths. By identifying and building upon their unique abilities, individuals can develop greater confidence, self-acceptance, and a stronger sense of identity. This provides a solid foundation from which they can thrive, pursue meaningful goals, and succeed in ways that reflect their own values and potential.
Speaking, Training & Professional Consultation
Bridging Clinical Expertise with Neurodiversity-Affirming Practice
With around 1 in 7 people being neurodivergent, understanding neurodiversity has never been more important. Whether in healthcare, education, the workplace, or the wider community, greater awareness leads to more inclusive environments where neurodivergent people can thrive.
While many professionals and organisations provide excellent support, they are not always equipped with the knowledge or confidence to adapt their practice in ways that truly meet the needs of neurodivergent individuals. Our training bridges this gap by providing practical, evidence-based strategies that can be applied immediately.
At This Is Me Psychology, we deliver engaging talks, interactive workshops, and specialist training that increase understanding, challenge misconceptions, and promote neuro-affirming practice. Our sessions are tailored to suit a wide range of audiences—from members of the public and families, to employers, educators, healthcare professionals, and multidisciplinary teams.
We are passionate advocates for neurodiversity and believe that creating meaningful change starts with understanding. Our evidence-based training explores the strengths, challenges, and lived experiences of Neurodivergent conditions, helping participants move beyond diagnostic labels to appreciate the whole person.
Our goal is simple: to equip people with the knowledge, confidence, and practical strategies needed to create environments where neurodivergent individuals feel understood, valued, and empowered to flourish.

MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENTS
We provide comprehensive Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) assessments to support children and young people with additional needs. Our team works closely with families, schools, and local authorities to deliver clear, professional reports that identify strengths, challenges, and the provision required to achieve the best possible outcomes. Each assessment is carried out with care and attention to detail, ensuring that recommendations are practical, evidence-based, and aligned with current statutory guidance, helping to support successful EHCP applications, reviews, and appeals.

Registered with the HCPC and BPS, she has worked across the NHS and private practice, offering supportive, evidence-based supervision focused on case discussion, professional development, ethical practice, and building confidence when working with complex neurodevelopmental needs.
Professional Registrations
Client Testimonials
Emilie is kind, approchable and considerate. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She listened to me and I felt understood and never judged. She was able to ask me questions that really helped me understand myself and what I was struggling with. I would definitely speak to Emilie again if I ever needed to and I would recommend her to others. Thank you!
I attended a Seed Talks session last night on ADHD and Women with guest speaker Dr Emilie Moorhead (DClinPsy, BSc), and it really opened my eyes.
I don’t have ADHD myself, but learning more about how it shows up differently in women — and how often it’s missed or misunderstood — helped me better understand what my wife and many other women navigate every day. Hearing about masking, emotional regulation, burnout, and the impact of hormonal shifts brought a lot into focus.
I left with a deeper appreciation for the challenges of being neurodivergent in a world built for neurotypical minds — and an even stronger commitment to being supportive, curious, and understanding. I'm grateful for spaces that encourage empathy and awareness.
The support for us as parents has been really helpful in order for us to understand our daughter's emotions more. We have been given coping strategies that we are able to apply at home as well as learning different ways of communicating to help her to problem solve and resolve her issues in her own way.
