About us
Hi, I'm Anne Lewis, founder and psychotherapist at VIVA Therapy. We are a small team of therapists working online across the UK. We help couples and individuals where neurodivergence is part of the picture.
I know it can take courage to seek therapy, so I am really pleased that you are taking this step for yourself.
In therapy we help people to understand how they are showing up in their relationships – whether with partners, friends, family, or themselves – providing space to slow things down and begin to make sense of the patterns that can form when anxiety, neurodivergence, and past experiences shape the way we connect with others.
We work with couples to help them find better ways of communicating.
We help couples navigate conflict more constructively and learn how to repair and reconnect after disagreements.
We help people to better understand their thoughts, feelings, and patterns.

About Our Approach
We specialise in therapy for individuals who are neurodivergent and for couples where one or both partners are neurodivergent. Most of our therapists have lived experience with ADHD and autism, and we all have professional experience and training of working with neurodivergence, so we understand the unique dynamics it can bring into your life and your relationships, particularly with regard to communication and how you might feel about yourself.
I am also a member of the LGBTQ+ community and it is therefore important to me that all of us at VIVA provide therapy that is affirming and inclusive.
Our goal is to offer therapy that’s empowering as well as practical. It’s a confidential, judgment-free space where you can work through whatever is coming up for you.
What to Expect
- Sessions are 50 or 60 minutes long, depending on whether it’s individual or couples therapy
- Held online using either Google Meet or Zoom
- Fees for individual therapy: start from £70 per session, depending on the therapist
- Fee for couples therapy: start from £110 per session, depending on the therapist
How We Work
We offer therapy for as long as you are finding it helpful, but I recommend allowing for at least 6-10 sessions initially. Some people then move to fortnightly sessions, and then to monthly sessions, until they feel ready to stop therapy. It's your therapy, so you can stop, or take a break, whenever you both feel ready to do that.
Get in touch and book your first session, and start moving towards the relationships and the life you want.
