About Neurodiversity Wellness Collective
Grounded in Lived Experience
Neurodiversity Wellness Collective was founded by Yuka Oshimi, a Japanese AuDHD counsellor whose work is shaped by lived experience across cultures, identities, and neurodivergent ways of being.
As a neurodivergent individual herself, with lived experience growing up in Singapore and navigating cultural transitions, Yuka brings a nuanced understanding of how neurodivergence, culture, and identity shape mental health experiences. This ethos continues to guide the collective’s work by recognising the role of relationships, culture, and broader social systems in wellbeing, valuing curiosity and collaboration, and offering care that honours each individual’s full experience while meeting them where they are.
Values – Guiding Principles
You won’t truly know who you are until you understand what matters to you. This is what matters to us.
Creating a Safe Haven
We are committed to creating a space where you feel safe and seen as you are. Therapy is a collaborative partnership grounded in neurodivergent-affirming care, where your voice, lived experience, and autonomy guide the pace and shared decision-making.
Advocacy
Your voice matters. We are committed to advocating for you both within and beyond the counselling space.
Disrupting Neuronormativity
We have an unwavering commitment to neuro-affirming care that challenges neuronormative expectations and deficit-based narratives. Our work supports you in recognizing and addressing internalized stigma and ableism, while building the tools and confidence to advocate for your needs and boundaries within and beyond the therapy space.
Confidentiality & Ethics
We prioritize your privacy and wellbeing through strict confidentiality and high ethical standards.
Evidence-Based
Our work is informed by evidence based approaches and sustained through ongoing education and commitment to clinical excellence.
Holistic Health & Well-being
We value holistic wellbeing and the connection between mind and body.
