At Neuronexus Psychology, we believe that effective support begins with a deep, individualised understanding of each person’s unique neurodivergent profile. More than just a diagnostic label, neurodivergent profiling explores how traits related to autism, ADHD, sensory processing, and other neurotypes interact with everyday life—in school, at home, in relationships, and in the workplace.
Our comprehensive approach ensures that support is not only accurate but also meaningful, providing individuals with the insight and tools they need to thrive.

What Is Neurodivergent Profiling?
If you’ve ever searched for:
"How does autism affect me at work?"
"What support does my neurodivergent child need at school?"
"Why do I struggle with relationships as an autistic adult?"
… then you’re already asking the types of questions that neurodivergent profiling seeks to answer.
Neurodivergent profiling looks beyond a general diagnosis to uncover:
How a person’s traits appear across different settings (e.g. home, school, work)
What strengths they naturally possess
What challenges they face and why
Which adjustments and supports are most effective for their specific needs
This individualised insight becomes the foundation for tailored therapy, education planning, and workplace accommodations.
Why a Neurodivergent Profile Is Valuable
Unlike standard diagnostic reports, a neurodivergent profile helps build a practical understanding of daily functioning. It supports:
Parents advocating for learning adjustments or NDIS funding
Employers creating inclusive workplace strategies
Educators supporting neurodivergent students
Adults seeking clarity, personal growth, or better mental health management
This approach is especially helpful for individuals with overlapping diagnoses, such as autism and ADHD, or where mental health conditions like anxiety, OCD or depression co-occur with neurodivergent traits.
Integrating Profiling with Therapeutic Interventions
At Neuronexus, profiling is not just an assessment—it’s part of a holistic support strategy. Once we understand how someone’s neurodivergence presents in daily life, we provide:
✓ Personalised Therapy Plans
Tailored to each individual's needs, our therapy plans might include CBT, ACT, or other neuroaffirming approaches, delivered in a way that aligns with sensory and communication preferences.
✓ Support for Co-occurring Conditions
We help clients manage mental health conditions that often co-exist with neurodivergence, including:
Anxiety disorders
Depression and low mood
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Emotional regulation difficulties
Behavioural challenges
Each intervention is delivered with respect for the person’s neurotype, rather than aiming to “fix” them or enforce neurotypical norms.
