Our Story
NeuroKind Clinical Psychology was founded by Clinical Psychologists Lucy Weaving and Katie Fanning, who first met over two decades ago while working in a residential school to support children with communication differences.
United by a shared commitment to neurodivergent individuals of all ages, and the families and carers who support them, we have developed extensive clinical experience across a wide range of NHS and independent settings based across the midlands. Over the years we have continued to deepen our specialist knowledge through advanced training and ongoing professional development, ensuring our practice remains both evidence-based and compassionate.
Neurodivergence is also an important part of our own lived experience, shaping not only our understanding but also our values as clinicians. This perspective is central to the ethos of NeuroKind Clinical Psychology.
We aim to offer a gold-standard, neuroaffirmative approach to assessment and therapeutic support - one that is thoughtful, respectful and compassionate. Above all, we strive to create a service that feels safe, empowering and truly feels like home.
