The relationship we have with ourselves can influence how we respond to challenges, recognise our needs and feel around other people. For many neurodivergent people, years of feeling different, masking or worrying about getting things “wrong” can shape our confidence and self-trust — sometimes showing up as overthinking conversations, worrying what others think or questioning whether it’s okay to just be ourselves.

This month we’ll explore self-understanding, self-trust, confidence and social anxiety through a neurodivergent lens. We’ll share experiences, look at what might sit underneath some of that self-doubt, and explore what might help us move towards greater self-compassion and confidence in being ourselves — both on our own and around others.

RSVP here to receive the joining info, and we’ll see you there!

Fancy some fresh air, friendly faces and a few festive treats?

Join us for a relaxed winter walk followed by a cosy get-together at Lifeways.

🚶 12.00pm – Winter Walk
Meet at Lifeways and we'll head down to the river for a walk, a chat and some fresh air.

☕ 1.00pm – ND Café at Lifeways
We'll head back to Lifeways for drinks, festive treats and a chance to catch up.

Whether you fancy joining us for the walk, popping in for the café, or doing both, you're very welcome!

A chance to connect with other neurodivergent adults, enjoy some company and get into the festive spirit without all the usual Christmas chaos! 🎄

💚 No pressure to chat, join in with everything or stay for the whole afternoon.

The festive season can be full of fun and connection, but it can also bring extra demands, expectations and a whole lot of overwhelm!

For neurodivergent adults, the combination of busy schedules, social gatherings, sensory overload, disrupted routines and pressure to keep everyone happy can take its toll. And if you're already running on empty, Christmas can feel like one more thing to get through rather than enjoy.

This month, we're exploring burnout, boundaries and energy management through a neurodivergent lens, with a festive twist. We'll share experiences, recognise when our energy is running low and explore practical ways to manage expectations, set boundaries and make space for our own needs.

Because looking after yourself deserves a place on the Christmas list too! 🎄

We're doing something a little different for December! Instead of our usual session, we're planning an ND BrainSpace snooker social at the club.

A chance to get together, have a game of snooker (or just watch!), chat and enjoy a more relaxed evening without a presentation.

You don't need to know how to play, and there's absolutely no pressure to join in with the games.

We're often told what we should be doing to look after ourselves – exercise, meditation, healthy eating, better sleep, routines… but what happens when those things don't quite work for our brains, or feel difficult to access?

This month, we're exploring wellbeing from a neurodivergent perspective. What helps us feel good? What drains us? And how can we find realistic ways to support our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing without adding another list of things we feel we should be doing?

We'll be chatting about sensory needs, food, movement, rest, sleep, mindfulness and the barriers that can make looking after ourselves more complicated.

What does wellbeing actually look like when you're neurodivergent?

Do I need a diagnosis? Where do I start? And what support is actually out there?

Whether you're newly diagnosed, self-identifying, exploring the possibility of being neurodivergent or have known for years, navigating diagnosis and support can bring up a lot of questions.

This month, we're talking about our experiences of diagnosis, assessment and finding support. From deciding whether to speak to your GP to understanding the different options available, including therapy, coaching, mentoring, medication and local services.

We'll be sharing experiences, asking questions and exploring what has (and hasn't!) worked for us.

There's no one right path, and everyone's needs and choices will be different.

An opportunity to learn from each other, explore your options and feel a little less alone in figuring it all out.

Why can relationships feel so complicated sometimes?

Relationships can bring connection, joy and belonging, but they can also be confusing, intense and challenging, particularly when we're navigating different communication styles, emotional responses and past experiences.

This month, we're exploring some of the trickier parts of relationships through a neurodivergent lens.

We'll be chatting about rejection sensitivity (often called RSD), attachment patterns, the impact of past experiences and trauma, emotional intensity, trust and the challenges of understanding ourselves and others.

How do these experiences shape our relationships? What patterns do we notice? And how can we develop greater understanding, communicate our needs and build connections that work for us?

An open conversation about the messy, complicated and very human side of relationships – without judgement or expectations.
