Working with Neurodiversity
Supporting Neurodivergent Clients, Parents, and Carers
At Cara Mia Hypnotherapy & Healing my work is deeply personal. As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, EFT Practitioner, and Reiki Master, I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals and their families. My approach is shaped by both my professional expertise and my own journey as a mother of a neurodivergent child.
A Personal Journey:
My Inspiration
​
My passion for working with neurodivergent clients stems from my experience as a mother of a 4-year-old autistic daughter who is non-verbal. My daughter was diagnosed at 2.5 years old so I am a big advocate for the benefits of early intervention.
Navigating her unique challenges has profoundly impacted my understanding of neurodivergence. I have devoted countless hours to researching ways to alleviate her symptoms, striving to create a world where she—and others like her—can thrive. This personal journey has fuelled my dedication to helping other families facing similar challenges. I understand first hand the joys, struggles, and complexities that come with raising a neurodivergent child. My mission is to support families with the same compassion, understanding, and commitment that I bring to my own.
My Approach to Neurodivergence
Every neurodivergent individual is unique, and I believe in honouring those differences with tailored, client-centred care. My approach integrates Clinical Hypnotherapy, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), and Reiki, all adapted to meet the specific needs of neurodivergent clients.
• Client-Centred Therapy: I provide a safe, supportive space where neurodivergent clients can explore their challenges and unlock their potential. My sessions are personalized to ensure each client feels understood and empowered.
• Supporting Parents and Carers: As a parent of a neurodivergent child, I know how essential it is for parents and carers to receive support. I offer specialised sessions to help manage stress, build resilience, and develop strategies for supporting their loved ones. My approach is collaborative, respecting the invaluable knowledge and experience that parents and carers bring.
• Focus on Children’s Mental Health: I have a strong commitment to supporting children’s mental health. Using gentle, age-appropriate techniques, I help children express their emotions, build self-confidence, and navigate their world with greater ease. My personal experience with my daughter informs every aspect of my work with children, driving me to help each child find their path to well-being.
Why Work with Me?
• Specialised Expertise: My personal experience combined with years of professional practice gives me a unique perspective on neurodivergence. I understand the nuances of working with neurodivergent clients and their families, and I tailor my therapies to meet their specific needs.
• Empathy and Understanding: My journey with my daughter has given me a deep empathy for the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals and their families. I approach my work with compassion, dedication, and a genuine desire to make a difference in their lives.
• Holistic Care: By integrating Clinical Hypnotherapy, EFT, and Reiki, I offer a comprehensive approach to mental and emotional well-being. This allows me to address a wide range of issues, from anxiety and stress to emotional regulation and self-esteem.
Training for Therapists
In addition to my direct work with clients, I am also committed to educating other professionals. I offer specialized training for hypnotherapists and therapists, focusing on how to effectively support neurodivergent clients. My training is designed to provide practical insights and techniques that professionals can immediately apply in their own practice.
