We were established in 2021 by Dr Jake Hutchinson, born out of his own lived experience of neurodivergence and his professional experience of working in services that were too often disconnected, fragmented, and narrowly focused on a single condition — leaving people without a whole-spectrum understanding of themselves. He set out to build something different.
At the time, we were the first clinic in the country able to assess and support the full range of neurodevelopmental differences within one specialist service, through a fully integrated multidisciplinary team. From ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia, to Developmental Coordination Disorder, Dyscalculia, Developmental Language Disorder and Sensory Processing Differences, we provide comprehensive, joined-up care across the entire lifespan — exceeding NICE guidelines and regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
What began with one person is now a collection of exceptional people who, like those we support, have unique brains of their own. We all carry the Neurospectrum legacy forward together.
Neurodevelopmental differences do not exist in isolation. A person’s history, identity and sense of safety in the world shape how those differences are experienced and expressed. We hold particular expertise in how neurodivergence intersects with the lives of those who have been marginalised or overlooked — people from the care system, those from minoritised communities, and the many who have spent years masking who they really are, disproportionately women, girls and those who have never felt safe enough to be themselves.
Our assessments go beyond checklists. We take time to understand the whole person, strengths as well as difficulties, because holistic formulation is the foundation of care that actually works. Clinical excellence and genuine warmth sit at the heart of Neurospectrum, alongside an unwavering commitment to psychological safety, integrity, and accountability in everything we do.
Authenticity matters to us. Our team is confident in being themselves, and we extend the same respect to everyone we support — creating an inclusive space where people can understand, embrace and thrive as who they truly are.
