One of the things we're really passionate about at NeuroNest Psychology is being able to offer appointments without a long wait. We know the months and years that go into making a decision to seek an assessment - whether to go for an assessment at all, how to do it, which service to choose. So once the decision is made, we want to make the process as easy as possible.

Our goal has always been to always keep our wait time under 3 months. Recently it crept over that, and we've worked really hard to reduce it again. Our wait time for all assessments is now under 8 weeks. That means if you make contact today, we could see you in late September or early October.

We offer a free screening assessment which can be requested via our website (link in our bio). Or if you'd like to chat you can contact us at [email protected].

I'm so excited to share this. I've poured my heart into developing NeuroNest Psychology and to find out that we've been recognised in this way is such a proud moment. It means that what I've spent the last year creating is landing, helping and supporting - and people are noticing.

But while awards are lovely, what is so much more important is feedback from the families and people we work with.

We've had the best feedback from families this week. Heartfelt, gorgeous comments and gratitude. It's really nice to be acknowledged like this, but I don't need awards to tell me we're doing a good job. What I want to do is listen to families and to keep evolving our services to meet the need that is there.

I'm saying with heart - I want to change the face of neurodevelopmental assessment. It doesn't have to be cold and clinical, a checklist production line. It can be empowering and healing. It can be done with heart and good vibes and warm cups of tea.

Please get in touch if you are thinking about an assessment for yourself or your child. A warm welcome awaits and whether your full journey is with us or not, we'd love to be part of the next step.

My job gives me sleepless nights. Probably not for any of the reasons you might expect. Not because I dread going to work - of course I have the odd Sunday Scaries but I actually love my job. Not because I don't like the people I work with - I hold my clients very dearly and although I don't work in a team anymore I've managed to find my people. And not because of any of the other obvious reasons like finances, business challenges or worrying where my next enquiry will come from.

What keeps me up at night is rage and helplessness - it's moral injury. Watching families navigate the SEND system, trying so hard to be an ally and an advocate but feeling completely helpless and hopeless as a professional. And the insight into what parents and children are having to navigate. That's what keeps me up at night.

I'm so aware of the privilege I hold in not having had to navigate the SEND system personally. And that keeps me quiet because I feel I have no right to speak, or shout, about what is happening. But I see it, I'm involved in it, and I care deeply about it.

People are being distracted by this narrative of over diagnosis, villainous private practices, neurodivergence as a 'fad' and an excuse to fraudulently access benefits and extra support. And all the while parents and children are being pushed to the absolute brink of despair, distress and desperation.

Anyone who has walked this system, personally or professionally, knows that it is almost impossible to navigate and survive it, nevermind actually benefit from it or exploit it for gain.

This is all so heavy for me today and I don't know what else to do but write and share and have a cry. I'm a tiny little tiddler in a sea full of sharks but I feel and I see, and I want to help.
