Holly Sutcliffe
Specialisms: Neurodivergence, Being a Carer/Parenting, Education, Collective Care, Self-Acceptance
An experienced educator and advocate, Holly is autistic, has CPTSD and their primary role is as the main parent/carer for her disabled daughter. They identify their neurodivergence as being both innate and acquired, within the social model of disabilty.Â
Holly draws on a wide range of personal and professional experience to campaign for and promote neurodivergent acceptance and joy. In their private practice, they work predominantly with neurodivergent individuals and families, building community spaces. They also work somatically with individuals and teach yoga.
Holly believes it is possible for neurodivergent folk to live happy, actualised and accepted lives but that there is much work to be done societally, culturally and institutionally before this is possible (including the intersectionality with race, gender, trans, queer, disability and other issues, rights and prejudices).
Holly is trauma-informed through lived experience, and her yoga and somatic study and work. She speaks with honesty, clarity and from the heart in order to shed light on her own experience, of living life on her own terms and the benefits - and challenges - that brings.
