A Safe Space to Be Me 

Your Journey to Better Mental Health Starts Here​

 

Hello and welcome.
First, we want to say: Well done. Just by visiting our website, you've taken the first step toward supporting emotional well-being – whether it's your own, a friend’s, a colleague’s, or a loved one’s. That matters.

At A Safe Space to Be Me, we believe in creating a world where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.

​

Our Mission:

Mental Health Support That’s Personal, Local, and Free

​

Our vision is to deliver holistic and community-led mental health support, with a strong focus on family, relationships, and local connection. We are future-focused, yet grounded in the power of what matters now:

🧡 I Matter
💛 You Matter
💚 We All Matter

​

Building Stronger Communities – Together

​

We're proud to lead grassroots workshops and events, run by local people, for local people, that help foster real connection, understanding, and lasting change. Community development is at the heart of our mission – and it's how we’re building better futures for the towns we serve.

Dedicated ADHD Support – Understanding, Empowering, and Navigating Together

​

At A Safe Space to Be Me, we provide neurodivergent-affirming support for individuals with ADHD, their families, caregivers, and the environments they live and work in. We recognise that ADHD intersects with other neurodivergent experiences and can shape every area of life — from learning and employment to identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.

Our services are designed to reflect this complexity. We offer ADHD-informed counselling, neurodivergent peer support spaces, family and parent workshops, and practical tools that honour diverse communication styles, sensory needs, and executive functioning differences. We also collaborate with schools, services, and workplaces to promote better understanding, inclusion, and adjustments that make a real difference.

Grounded in a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach, our work centres lived experience, supports self-advocacy, and fosters authentic connection. Whether you're navigating diagnosis, seeking strategies that work for you, or supporting someone you care about — we’re here to walk alongside you.

Bespoke Workshops for Meaningful Neurodivergent Inclusion

​​

​

We also offer recognised training services and bespoke workshops tailored to the needs of both professionals and service users. Our sessions are grounded in lived experience and up-to-date research, designed to deepen understanding of ADHD and neurodivergence in real-world contexts. Whether you’re a teacher, support worker, healthcare provider, or part of a neurodivergent community, our training is interactive, practical, and shaped by the voices of those with lived experience. We work collaboratively with organisations to co-create workshops that reflect their specific settings — from schools and community groups to frontline services and workplace teams — ensuring meaningful learning that leads to real change.​
