Katie Richardson

Co-Founder | Psychotherapist | Couples & Adolescent Specialist | EMDR Practitioner

Katie Richardson is a highly skilled relationship therapist with a specialist focus on supporting neurodivergent parents and delivering neuro-affirmative, relationship-focused therapy. Her work centres on helping individuals and couples build deeper understanding, strengthen emotional connection, and navigate the unique dynamics that can arise within neurodivergent families.

Katie also works therapeutically with adolescents, with a particular interest in neurodiversity-affirming practice. She believes that, at the core of effective adolescent therapy, a nervous system–based approach must take priority. By helping young people understand and regulate their nervous systems, Katie supports them in building emotional resilience, self-awareness, and a stronger sense of identity.

She provides autism- and ADHD-informed psychotherapy, ensuring that therapeutic approaches are adapted to suit each young person’s neurotype rather than expecting them to conform to neurotypical frameworks. Her work prioritises safety, validation, and empowerment.

In addition to her relationship therapy and adolescent work, Katie is a qualified EMDR practitioner. She uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process and heal from trauma. Her trauma-informed practice ensures clients feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout their therapeutic journey.

Beyond her clinical practice, Katie develops and delivers specialist training for mental health professionals, with a strong focus on the importance of nervous system regulation in therapeutic work. She delivers trainings in autism- and ADHD-informed psychotherapy, equipping practitioners with practical, neuro-affirmative frameworks that integrate trauma awareness and embodied regulation principles.

Katie also designs and delivers workplace training programmes, supporting organisations to recognise and value the concept of difference. She helps teams understand how diverse neurotypes, lived experiences, and ways of thinking not only deserve inclusion but actively strengthen workplace culture, innovation, and wellbeing.

Her combined expertise in neuro-affirmative practice, trauma treatment, adolescent therapy, professional training, and workplace education enables her to offer holistic, tailored support across clinical, professional, and organisational settings.
