Our Story
"She Thinks Different wasn’t created from theory alone — it was born from lived experience.
After years of working as a psychotherapist and supporting women through anxiety, burnout, trauma, and identity struggles, I began to notice a pattern that became impossible to ignore. So many of the women sitting in front of me were intelligent, capable, emotionally deep — and exhausted. Not because they were broken, but because they had been adapting to environments that didn’t fit how their brains worked.
As my clinical work deepened, so did my understanding of neurodivergence in women — particularly those diagnosed later in life, or still questioning. Alongside my professional training, my own diagnosis brought clarity to experiences I had once internalised as personal flaws. What I had interpreted as “too much”, “too sensitive”, or “not disciplined enough” began to make sense through a different lens.
She Thinks Different was built at that intersection — clinical expertise and lived understanding. It exists to offer women the space I wish more of us had earlier: space to understand our wiring, unpick shame, and build lives that work with who we are, not against it.
This is not a one-size-fits-all service.
It is thoughtful, tailored, and human."

Our Mission
To create a neuro-affirming space where women who think differently can understand themselves, heal safely, and build lives that feel aligned rather than exhausting.
Our Vision
We want to see a world where neurodivergent women and girls are recognised, supported, and celebrated — not overlooked, misdiagnosed, or taught to shrink themselves.
A world where support is accessible, ethical, and adaptable to individual needs — whether someone is newly diagnosed, questioning, or simply seeking a better understanding of themselves.
Our Goal
Our goal is not simply symptom management.
It is prevention — preventing burnout, breakdown, chronic self-doubt, and years of unnecessary suffering.
We do this by:
-
Increasing awareness of how neurodivergence presents in women and girls
-
Providing education that replaces shame with understanding
-
Offering therapeutic and coaching support that is practical, compassionate, and tailored
-
Supporting environments — families, schools, and workplaces — to become more neuro-friendly
Because when women understand how they think, they stop trying to become someone else.
