Sandra (she/they) is the education consultant, narrative therapy practitioner and somatic attachment therapist behind Neurodivergent Narratives. They are a multiply neurodivergent, trans-racial adoptee, former educator, podcaster, and new author with their first book aimed at those supporting neurodivergent children in primary schools, to be published in mid-2023.
They created their platform on Instagram, Facebook, Substack and Twitter as a space where those neurodivergent people most marginalised in society could have their voices and unique needs heard. She aims to share neurodivergent stories, life experiences and ways to meet our needs from the lens of intersectionality, curiosity and compassion.
Sandra currently resides outside London, UK with their young child and partner.

We use narrative therapy (a talk therapy approach that works to be non-blaming and non-oppressive and assumes that people are the experts on their lives), alongside somatic attachment therapy. We work to provide a mind-body approach that is trauma-responsive, accessible and inclusive. We are continually working to unlearn the harm that society causes us so that we can show up with integrity and deeper compassion for others. We participate in narrative therapy supervision, attend to our own well-being and manage our own neurodivergence. We are person-centered, meaning we care about who the people we work with believe they are now and who they want to be.
We are trying to reimagine therapy for neurodivergent people as something that can be empowering and still accessible. We believe that intergenerational trauma, relational trauma and any unintegrated trauma are a huge part of what keeps us stuck as neurodivergent people. Life hacks and quick fixes are not the way that we work to support
We are trying to reimagine therapy for neurodivergent people as something that can be empowering and still accessible. We believe that intergenerational trauma, relational trauma and any unintegrated trauma are a huge part of what keeps us stuck as neurodivergent people. Life hacks and quick fixes are not the way that we work to support years of being misunderstood, not seen or fearful of being different. Racism, misogynoir, sexism, trans-misogyny, transphobia, anti-fatness, ableism and other oppressions are all mental health issues people face too. We aim to work in collaborative ways with our clients, so that they see themselves as the experts on their lives, while feeling seen, heard and understood.
The people we work with want to create lives that work with their neurodivergence in mind. They understand that this is not a quick fix and know that societal expectations have kept them small and doubting what is possible. They understand that living in a capitalist, whyte supremacist, patriarchal society is harmful to everyone. They wa
The people we work with want to create lives that work with their neurodivergence in mind. They understand that this is not a quick fix and know that societal expectations have kept them small and doubting what is possible. They understand that living in a capitalist, whyte supremacist, patriarchal society is harmful to everyone. They want to do what they can to design their lives in ways that are aligned and in integrity with who they see themselves becoming and what works for them. The people we work with know that relationships are reciprocal, so they see that we all work together in this therapeutic process in as non-hierarchical a way as possible. We work in ways that encourage right relationship towards each other.
