What's so different about The Burrows?

Accepted Answer

We believe that our Iived experience, coupled with the natural setting of The Burrows, allow us to cultivate a unique therapeutic approach.

We are nestled within 3.5 acres of bush and trees, surrounded by native flora and fauna, and frequently use our surroundings as a tool for regulation and exploration of client feelings and unmet needs. Even in our cosy clinic room, we take a sensory-based approach, aligned with our firm belief in supportive and holistic care for all, regardless of neurotype.

We believe in differences, rather than disorders.

What do you mean by 'neuroaffirming' care?

Our approach to neuroaffirming care prioritises the individual, holistic needs of our clients in a non-pathologising way. The foundation of our practice is cultivating your safety in a non-judgemental, and caring manner.

We use evidence-based practice, supported by our own lived experience of neurodivergence, to support you to live your best life, rather than pathologise or 'treat' you.
