About Anna Carroll, MIACP
Hi and welcome to my website.
​
I am a fully qualified and IACP Accredited Counsellor - Psychotherapist, with a background and qualifications in Education and Life and Business Coaching.
​​​
As an Autistic & ADHD parent to two Autistic children, I have a personal understanding of the Neurodivergent experience.
​​​
Following my own formal discovery of being Autistic, I set up An Inclusive Mind in response to the need to support Neurodivergent individuals in a Neuro - Affirmative way.
Put simply, my therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, inclusivity and respect.
I draw on my skills from my Counselling / Psychotherapy and Coaching qualifications to tailor sessions to meet clients' needs and goals.
​​
I work from an Integrative therapeutic framework, with a Person-Centred, Neurodiversity-Affirmative approach at its core.
​​​
Living the Neurodivergent experience every day as a therapist / parent / late-identified AuDHD woman, I have the insight and compassion to fully support and understand others on a similar journey.
​​​
I look forward to hopefully working with you on yours.

Why An Inclusive Mind?
Here at An Inclusive Mind, I specialise in working with Neurodivergent people and their families to support and guide in a Neuro - Affirmative way.
​
I work with Neurodivergent individuals 18 years and older to embrace their authentic selves.
​​​
My client base includes:
​​
-
Late identified Autistic/ADHD clients
-
Adults exploring possible Neurodivergent identity
-
Parents whose children are pre and post assessment.
​​​​
Please note that I am not qualified to formally assess and diagnose Autism / ADHD etc. Such assessment must be carried out by a Clinical Psychologist / Psychiatrist.
​
I work together with my clients on their journey, acknowledging the challenges of Neurodivergent life whilst appreciating the value and strengths of Neurodivergence.
​​​​
All too often Neurodivergent individuals are subjected to negative connotations regarding their identities which is harmful to well-being.
​​​​
It is my aim to support clients and their families to view the Neurodivergent experience through another lens, promoting well-being and validity to this life experience.
​​​​
No GP referral is required for my service.

The Therapy Space
I offer my clients the option of in-person or walk and talk sessions.
​
My therapeutic space is designed to maximise client comfort taking into account sensory profiles and preferences.
Client comfort is key to engaging in the therapeutic process and the reason why I offer both mediums through my work.

My Neuro-Affirmative Approach
As a practitioner with personal experience navigating the world through a Neurodivergent lens, I understand first-hand the unique strengths and challenges that come with being Autistic, ADHD or otherwise Neurodivergent.
As a parent to two Autistic children, I fully understand the parenting journey that nobody gets, unless they too are raising Neurodivergent children.
​
I offer a professional, supportive environment in which each unique client journey will be heard, understood, validated, fully accepted and honoured.
