CRENA WATSON

Has joined as part of our corporate work

I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist trained to Level 7 in Transactional Analysis. Over the past several years, I have dedicated my practice to working with neurodivergent people, particularly those who are ADHD, autistic or AuDHD — both autistic and ADHD.
For many people, a diagnosis brings recognition and relief, but it does not necessarily come with the support to understand what it means in everyday life. I am passionate about helping people explore their own neurodivergent profile: their strengths, needs, sensitivities, relationships and ways of experiencing the world.
My approach brings together psychotherapy and psychoeducation — learning about how your own mind works. Everyone is different, so our work begins with you and your individual experience. Together, we can explore the impact of feeling misunderstood, trying to fit in or living with expectations that do not suit you, while building greater self-understanding and self-compassion.
I work with individuals, couples and families, including partners with different neurotypes. I also work with organisations to develop understanding of neurodivergence, support psychological wellbeing and help teams work together more thoughtfully.
This is my full-time vocation, and I care deeply about it. I continually develop my knowledge through research and professional learning, and I learn so much from the people I have the privilege of working with.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in the art world, with photography as my passion. Although I have less time for it these days, creativity is still in my bones. It remains part of the curiosity, openness and individuality I bring to my work.
I work in London and just outside Chichester face-to-face as well as online.
