Living with a neurodivergent mind can feel like navigating a world that wasn't designed for you. Perhaps you've faced dismissal of your experiences as just being 'lazy,' 'sensitive,' or 'difficult' when you know there's so much more to your story.
At biio, we understand that neurodivergence affects every aspect of your life - from managing executive function to the exhaustion of constantly adapting to environments that weren't designed with your needs in mind.
Our neurodiversity-affirming practitioners provide the specialised care you deserve. Whether you're living with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or other neurodevelopmental conditions, we're here to help you harness your unique strengths while developing strategies for the challenges you face.

For those who are uncertain about their symptoms or seeking a diagnosis, our thorough neurodevelopmental assessments provide clarity and direction. Our psychiatrist conducts comprehensive evaluations for autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and specific learning differences using gold-standard diagnostic tools, detailed developmental history-taking, and functional observations. We deliver detailed reports with practical recommendations tailored to your unique neurocognitive profile, helping you access appropriate supports and develop a deeper understanding of your neurological differences.
Our psychologists specialise in neurodiversity-affirming therapeutic approaches that recognise and respect neurological differences as natural variations in human diversity. Rather than focusing on 'fixing' neurodivergent traits, we help you build self-understanding, develop personalised coping strategies, and navigate a world not always designed for neurodivergent minds. Through evidence-based interventions adapted to your cognitive style, we address anxiety, depression, trauma, and social challenges while celebrating your unique strengths and perspectives.
Our occupational therapists work collaboratively with neurodivergent individuals to develop practical skills for daily living, sensory regulation, and executive functioning. We take a strengths-based approach, adapting environments and tasks to suit your neurological profile rather than expecting you to conform to neurotypical standards. Through personalised interventions, we address challenges with organisation, time management, sensory processing, and fine motor skills, enhancing independence and quality of life across home, school, work, and social environments.
Our expert dietitian, Evan Waterhouse, understands the unique nutritional challenges often experienced with neurodevelopmental conditions, including sensory food aversions, medication-related appetite changes, and gastrointestinal sensitivities. He provides practical, judgement-free nutrition support that accommodates taste preferences, sensory needs, and routine importance. His personalised nutrition plans aim to stabilise energy levels, optimise brain function, and support overall wellbeing while respecting individual food relationships and autonomic nervous system regulation.
Safe & Sound Protocol is an auditory therapy developed by world-renowned researcher and author of The Polyvagal Theory, Dr. Stephen Porges. Guided by a clinical psychologist, SSP uses specially filtered sounds to stimulate the vagus nerve and calm the autonomic nervous system.
This process helps retrain the nervous system to better differentiate between safe and dangerous signals in the environment, leading to improved emotional regulation and social engagement. Clinical trials and real-world studies have demonstrated significant improvements in symptoms of anxiety, trauma, autism and ADHD, and overall quality of life for both children and adults.
Our non-invasive transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) offers targeted autonomic nervous system regulation for neurodivergent individuals who experience anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and stress sensitivity. This gentle therapy stimulates the vagus nerve, activating the parasympathetic "rest and digest" response and helping to balance autonomic function. Our personalised tVNS protocols include take-home devices for convenient daily treatment, potentially reducing anxiety, improving sleep quality, enhancing emotional regulation, and supporting overall nervous system resilience.
Our specialised approach to Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) combines dietetic expertise with psychological strategies to address complex eating challenges common in neurodivergent individuals. Our dietitians work collaboratively with you to gradually expand food variety while respecting sensory sensitivities, food texture aversions, and routine preferences. We provide practical strategies for nutritional adequacy, develop personalised exposure plans, and coordinate with your healthcare team to support both physical health and a positive relationship with food.
We provide integrated care for conditions frequently co-occurring with neurodevelopmental differences, including anxiety, depression, gastrointestinal issues, sleep disorders, and chronic pain. Our multidisciplinary team coordinates care across specialties, ensuring that your neurodivergent perspective is central to all treatment decisions. We offer tailored interventions that address both primary neurodevelopmental conditions and comorbidities, providing comprehensive support that recognises the complex interplay between neurological differences and physical health.
