Weekly neurodiversity support group in Henley on Thames
A free weekly support group for neurodivergent adults has launched in Henley, offering a welcoming space for connection, understanding, and peer support.
Held every Thursday from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. at the Cherry Tree Therapy Centre on Hart Street, the group is open to anyone who identifies as neurodivergent, including those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia or those exploring the possibility.
The sessions are designed to be relaxed and inclusive, with facilitators from diverse therapeutic backgrounds. Attendees can expect a calm, sensory-considerate environment with adjustable lighting, refreshments, and fidget-friendly options. People are free to join or leave at any point during the session.
The aim is to provide a safe, supportive community where shared experiences can foster greater understanding and well-being.
The group so far has covered talking topics such as:
- jobs and studies
- being neurodivergent in the workplace
- schooling
- navigating “spiralling” (especially anger)
- parenting as a neurodivergent person and noticing traits in children
- impulsivity
- sensory difficulties
- the impact of speaking literally
- medications: dosages, side effects, and combinations
- Diagnosis? Pros and cons as seen by those in the group
