Empowering Strengths,
Celebrating Individuality
At Sunflower Psychology Services, I embrace neurodiversity and recognise that every individual—each with a unique way of thinking and processing—has valuable strengths and needs that deserve understanding and support.
My approach is neuroaffirming and strengths-based, empowering neurodivergent individuals to thrive by building on their abilities, addressing challenges, and using evidence-based strategies tailored to their needs.
I also recognise the importance of supporting those around neurodivergent individuals. Parents, carers, educators, and employers play a vital role in creating inclusive, supportive environments at home, school, and work. I offer tailored guidance and practical strategies to help them build confidence, foster understanding, and create spaces where everyone can thrive.
Inclusive communication is especially at the heart of my practice. Sessions are flexible—offered face-to-face, online, or over the phone—and adapted to each person’s preferred communication style, whether through conversation, writing, visuals, AAC, or other methods. All forms of self-expression are welcomed and respected, ensuring every individual feels safe, understood, and able to be their authentic self.
I am also mindful of sensory and environmental needs, such as lighting, sound, and sensitivities, to create a calm and accessible space where neurodivergent individuals—and those who support them—can feel comfortable and engaged.
I invite you to explore my services and discover how I can support you, your family, your students, or your workplace in creating environments where neurodivergent individuals can truly thrive.
Welcome to Sunflower Psychology Services!
About Me
Hi, my name is Penelope, but please call me Penny!
I am deeply committed to supporting autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD individuals—as well as the parents, caregivers, teachers and employers walking alongside them.
My own journey as a parent of three neurodivergent children has taken me through the uncertainty of early concerns, the overwhelm of diagnosis, and the ongoing challenges that come with each stage of development, from childhood to adolescence.
While every family’s experience is different, I know first hand how valuable it is to have support from someone who truly understands. That’s the kind of care I wished for—and the kind I now strive to provide.
