AuDHD Therapy

Funding Notice

As a small charity, we are wholly reliant on donations from the public to fund our services. We are currently supporting just under a dozen people through diagnosis and counselling, but we currently have more demand than we can afford.

Due to this, we have unfortunately had to temporarily pause taking on clients that require us to fund their treatment so we can continue to support our current clients. We hope that, with your help, we can reopen applications in the near future.

We work with a number of neurodiversity-affirming counsellors and psychotherapists, many of whom are neurodivergent themselves, to be able to offer partially-funded therapy to autistic and ADHD adults in the UK. Many of these therapists specialise in other areas alongside neurodiversity, such as grief, addiction, and identity. You can read our Therapist Directory in the Meet the Therapists section at the bottom of this page.

If you would like us to help fund your therapy, please see the application process below.

We are also able to put self-funding clients in contact with these same therapists. If you would like us to do this, please email us at hello@audhduk.org.

Please note: we are unable to fund or refer those under the age of 18.

Unfortunately, we are not equipped to help those who are currently suicidal or in crisis. If you are struggling, please contact Samaritans on 116 123 or visit our Urgent Help page for other options.

Application Process

  • Step 1: Eligibility Assessment

    The first step in your therapy funding application is an eligibility assessment. This is where you tell us if you have been officially diagnosed with autism or ADHD, or if you’re self diagnosed. We also ask a bit about your autistic/ADHD traits, and why you’re currently seeking therapy. This will take you around 15 minutes, and you should hear back from us within 7 working days.

  • Step 2: Application Forms

    If you’re eligible for funding, you will be sent our application form. This goes into detail about you, your health history, which therapist you would like to see, and agreement of payment and commitment to us. Once you have submitted all the necessary paperwork, you should hear back from us about your application within 14 working days.

  • Step 3: Schedule Your First Session

    The third and final step is making contact with your chosen therapist. We contact them on your behalf, tell them a little bit about you and your history (from your application form) and help schedule your first session. This process can take a while, but we aim to have a date organised within 6 weeks of contacting the therapist.
