About us.

Spectrum Sisters was founded by Chay Thompson who regularly saw in both her practice as a social worker, and her lived experience, the vast amounts of neurodivergent women and girls being misdiagnosed, and under-diagnosed and the impact that would have on their lifespan. She also felt even when they were diagnosed, that process itself was commonly very traumatic in itself and service users were often left with no post-diagnostic support and a very limited report that really told them nothing about themselves – only provided a diagnosis.

Passionate about redressing this imbalance, Spectrum Sisters was formed and we now have a growing number of professionals from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, mental health nursing and beyond who support our goals. We are all committed to offering much needed specialised, in-depth, detailed Autism and ADHD assessments and support for women and girls in order to help them to gain clarity, understand themselves better, access the right funding and support, and gain the tools in life to be able to thrive. We operate under stringent regulations, and NICE guidelines ensuring the highest standards of assessment.
