About Us, Created by Clinicians, Designed for Humans

Neurodivergems was established by a dedicated team of GPs and mental health clinicians who understand the frustration and barriers that many face in accessing neurodevelopmental diagnosis. Our experience within the NHS revealed that waiting lists for autism and ADHD assessments are excessive and inconsistent, especially for adults, women, and atypical presentations.

We designed Neurodivergems to provide open, person-centred support, professional, fast, and always with a human touch.

Neurodivergems is a trading name for Stonehill Medical Centre, which is regulated and rated 'Good' by Care Quality Commission.
