A space where lived experience meets clinical insight.

Welcome to The Neurodivergent Nest

I’m Jodie Mainstone, a psychotherapist of over 20 years, a mum to three AuDHD children, and a late-diagnosed ADHD adult myself.

I founded The Neurodivergent Nest to create a space where neurodivergence is celebrated and lived experience is honoured alongside clinical theory. My goal is to support both clinicians and neurodivergent people by sharing insights, strategies, and reflections that make mental health care more affirming, inclusive, and empowering.

Through The Nest, I combine both my professional expertise with my personal experience as mum to three and a late identified Adhder.

If you’re a therapist, parent, or neurodivergent adult seeking understanding, practical strategies, or a supportive community, you’re welcome here.

For Clinicians

At The Neurodivergent Nest, we’ve created a series of online training videos to support clinicians in understanding and working with neurodivergence in affirming, practical ways. Each course weaves lived experience with clinical theory, offering content that is authentic, warm, gently witty, and grounded in real-world practice.

Videos range from 10 to 45 minutes (because let’s be honest- attention has its limits). Pricing is kept intentionally low to cover costs while also enabling us to offer free, non-clinical videos and resources to families, parents, carers, and neurodivergent individuals.

These videos will help you approach neurodivergence with compassion, understanding, and confidence.

Understanding Neurodivergence Affirmatively

This course explores the foundations of affirming practice. You will learn how different brains process the world, challenge common misconceptions, and discover practical strategies to create inclusive and empowering spaces for neurodivergent people.

Neuroaffirming Addiction Support

Addiction support looks different when neurodivergence is part of the picture. This course shows how to provide care that recognises differences, respects coping strategies, and builds recovery approaches that truly fit diverse minds.

Neuroaffirming Eating Disorder Support

Eating disorders intersect uniquely with neurodivergence. This course explores affirming treatment approaches, helping clinicians and supporters understand sensory, emotional, and cognitive factors while fostering compassionate, individualised care.

Adapting EMDR for Neurodivergent Individuals
