“The essential guide for neurodivergent adults who crave authentic connection, practical boundary-setting, and self-compassion - without apology or burnout. Discover the art of thriving in relationships in ways that work for you”

Have you ever left a party feeling completely drained while everyone else seemed energised? Do you long to be alone more, but struggle to say no to others because you feel guilty? Do you find yourself people-pleasing, or masking, or feeling that everyone else has a map to the social landscape that you don't? If the answer to these questions is a resounding yes, I Need My Space (But I Like You Too!) by neurodivergent psychotherapist Alice Bramhill is for you.

In this affirming and accessible guide, Alice explores how to navigate relationships - with colleagues, family, friends and romantic partners - as a neurodivergent adult. Expect practical tools for sensory and relationship mapping, setting and maintaining boundaries, and attachment styles through a neurodivergent lens. Packed with stories drawn from real life, this guide supports you in letting go of shame and guilt and building a fulfilling social life tailored to your neurodivergent self.

“I reached out to Alice hoping that a brief period of therapy would help support me following my late diagnosis and while I had some scepticism in spending the money on myself, I cannot emphasise how life changing the time working with her has been. I have never felt so safe, seen and comfortably challenged to understand my own needs, worth and value. My neurodivergent journey is in some ways just beginning but Alice was instrumental in getting me on the right path with the right tools and with more love for myself than I've ever had in my life.”

Hello & welcome!

If you’ve landed here, it’s no accident, this is the beginning of a life-changing journey for you.

I’m Alice a late discovered AuDHD Psychotherapist, Coach and Registered Mental Health Nurse of 30 years. I’m also a parent to autistic and ADHD children, a writer and artist.

I help highly sensitive, people pleasing neurodivergent folk, untangle the beliefs and patterns that get in the way of empowered communication, nourishing healthy relationships, and powerful self-advocacy.

By exploring attachment styles, unconscious beliefs, patterns of relating to others & communication techniques, I expertly and in collaboration, guide clients back towards home, their true self, with more aligned ways of interacting, with themselves and others.

I blend science-backed techniques & evidence based strategies (IPT strategies, attachment theory, polyvagal theory, transactional analysis) with creative, practical tools like role-playing and communication analysis to reframe how you relate to yourself and other people.

Whether it's boundaries within yourself, partnerships, friendships, or workplace dynamics, it's all connected-and I help you make it work in a way that feels good for you.

Imagine…

Speaking up without apologising. No guilt, no shame - just your voice, clear and strong.

Setting boundaries that actually stick. Feeling respected, not resentful.

Ditching self-doubt for self-belief. Finally trusting your instincts.

Flourishing creatively. Letting your unique ideas shine without fear.

Living unapologetically. Enjoying a life that feels truly aligned with who you are.

A nourished nervous system. A bespoke toolbox of exercises to support your new beliefs.

You Are NOT Broken

You don’t need fixing. What you’ve been carrying is a result of conditioning, the societal messages, family patterns, and expectations that told you life has to look a certain way to be “worthy.” I’m here to help you rewrite those rules and reconnect with the powerful, unique person you’ve always been beneath the noise.
