About
Ello Therapy is dedicated to providing specialized care for individuals previously diagnosed with neurodivergent disorders and those who believe they may be neurodivergent. This commitment reflects a growing recognition of the unique needs and experiences of neurodivergent individuals, emphasizing the importance of tailored therapeutic approaches.
Neurodivergence is a broad term that encompasses various neurological conditions that affect how individuals think, learn, and interact with the world. It challenges traditional views of mental health by promoting the idea that variations in brain function are natural and should be understood as part of human diversity rather than as deficits or disorders.
Common Neurodivergent Conditions
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD):
- ASD is characterized by challenges in social communication and interaction, along with restricted or repetitive behaviours and interests. The spectrum nature of autism means that symptoms can vary widely among individuals.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD):
- ADHD is marked by patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can interfere with functioning or development. Individuals with ADHD may struggle with organization, time management, and maintaining focus.
Other conditions often included under the neurodiversity umbrella include dyslexia, dyspraxia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and others.
At Ello Therapy, our focus is on providing evidence-based treatments designed to help clients understand themselves better and manage their symptoms effectively. These treatments are grounded in research and clinical practice guidelines.

If you are experiencing symptoms that interfere with your daily life, relationships, or ability to function or want to understand yourself better.
This can involve assessments for neurodivergent disorders such as ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorder.
What happens in the first therapy session?
During your first session, your therapist will guide you through the therapy process, ask questions to understand your problem better and get to know you from a holistic perspective. Many individuals and couples find hope and relief in their first session after taking the critical first step toward improvement. This initial session frequently leads to new realizations and insights.
Do you treat individuals or couples?
We treat both individuals and couples seeking support to understand themselves or each other with neurodivergence.
How often will I need to attend therapy?
You and your therapist will work together to figure out a schedule that fits your needs and lifestyle, whether it’s weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Research has shown that individuals and couples who attend counselling regularly often find the most positive results. It’s all about creating a supportive routine that helps you thrive!
What are the rates?
It is common to feel concerned about counselling costs, but viewing it as a valuable investment in your well-being is essential. Taking this step for yourself can lead to meaningful change, and the cost of not seeking help can be much greater. Remember, many extended health care plans offer coverage for these services. Your health and happiness truly deserve this investment.
