How we are different from other centres
- Our assessments are neuro-affirmative, and we identify and work with each client’s strengths
- We are a robust and ethical assessment centre and work only with children, adolescents and adults who meet the threshold for an assessment through our pre-screening consultation
- We will always see clients in person as part of their assessment. Informant interviews can be either in person or remote.
- We liaise widely with family, friends, partners and schools during the assessment
- Our detailed reports include personalised recommendations for each individual client
- All our assessments have been positively accepted by the NHS
- Every diagnosis is confirmed by a child/adolescent psychiatrist
- We will never give an inconclusive diagnosis
- Our multidisciplinary team may be able to give a differential diagnosis in cases where neurodivergence is not evident during an assessment, for example Developmental Language Disorder etc.
- We work with schools and universities to develop an individualised support plan for each client
- We offer post-diagnosis support work for young people, adults, parents and couples
- We build ongoing relationships with our clients
- Hear from others about their experience with us on google reviews

About the Centre & our Founder
Carla Reece, Director
I set up GAC as a mum of neurodivergent children, and a practitioner who’s also worked for decades with neurodivergent children and young adults. I’m an advocate, parent educator, a champion for rights and understanding, and a therapist with decades of lived and professional experience.
I’ve been the parent wondering what the right thing to do is. I’ve worried, listened, cared, and fought for the right support for the neurodivergent children and adults in my professional care. I’ve worked extensively with schools and liaised with countless universities.
I’ve worked therapeutically with young people who’ve never been supported to share their feelings before, with incredibly moving results. Surprising both parents and children alike! I’ve supported children and young people to value their strengths and differences, and additionally to wonder if they’d like to have support with the parts of life that are more challenging for them. Always respectfully, often playfully, lightly, and always inclusively.
At GAC, we are particularly passionate about, and skilled in, assessing and supporting neurodivergent girls and women.
