Bex Milgate - Pschotherapist/ Psychoeducator

Being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world, certainly has its challenges. Yet, I also believe it has strengthened my offering as a therapist and psychoeducator to all neurotypes. I don’t presume or expect a set way of being, or a set journey or goal of ‘happiness’. I strive to constantly learn and evolve but learn from authentic lived experience.

We all have wondrous differences, the challenges come when we are stigmatised for these differences and furthermore, unconsciously develop ways to push down and hide these differences, pulling us from our authentic selves.

Some of my clients prefer to type, some draw, some sing or share music, and some make up words for emotions because our current language feels inaccurate or confining. I see my role as creating a validating enabling space, to help you discover and shake off the ‘shame dust’ and let you be you. A lot of work usually involves understanding the unique nervous system, understanding the complex shame and trauma that goes with being neurodivergent in a predominantly neurotypical world, genuinely authentically validating people’s experiences and ways of being, sharing knowledge and insight. Whether that’s research or others lived experiences – or sometimes my own if it is relevant and feels helpful to do so. Knowledge and validation, awareness and acceptance can be such great healers.

Sessions are usually 1 hour, unless otherwise agreed, purely online.
