Common Thread grew from my own experience as an AuDHD counsellor trying to navigate both sides of therapy: as a neurodivergent person seeking understanding, and as a counsellor witnessing how difficult genuinely affirming support can be to access.

I also wanted to create a space that supports neurodivergent counsellors to connect with neurodivergent clients in a way that feels clear, boundaried, and sustainable for both. Common Thread was built around the belief that accessible therapy should support not only clients, but the practitioners offering it too.

The service was created to help bridge these gaps in a clear, calm, and relational way.
