Neurodivergent-affirming therapy — Melbourne & telehealth

Therapy that gets how your brain actually works.

ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, or still figuring it out — you shouldn't have to mask in therapy or teach your therapist what executive function is. Our clinicians work with neurodivergence as a difference to be understood, not a defect to be fixed.

Who this is for

  • Late-diagnosed and self-identified ADHD and autistic adults
  • Professionals managing burnout, overwhelm, or masking fatigue
  • Neurodivergent couples and partners (including ND/NT pairings)
  • People processing a new diagnosis and what it reframes

What to expect

  • Affirming, strengths-based work — no behaviour-correction agendas
  • Practical structures when you want them (CBT, ACT, DBT skills), depth when you don't
  • Sensory-considerate sessions: online, or a calm Carlton office
  • Therapists comfortable with direct communication styles

Why Unison, not a generalist clinic?

Unison's team includes clinicians experienced in neurodivergent-affirming care, and the practice serves a largely neurodivergent client community — meaning the understanding starts before your first session does.
