Supporting Neurodivergent Patients
Many of the individuals we support have co-occurring and overlapping neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences and learning disabilities. While these are not conditions we directly treat, we specialise in understanding how mental health needs may intersect with neurodivergence and trauma, and work within a structured, formulation-led framework to meet individuals’ differing needs.
Our approach is trauma-informed, collaborative and tailored to the individual. We provide safe, structured environments that support additional needs, with adaptations made as required to promote engagement, regulation and a sense of safety.
All staff receive specialist training in working with individuals with autism, neurodivergence and learning disabilities, ensuring that care is informed, consistent and responsive.
Make a referral
Ellern Mede provides specialist inpatient mental health care for children (aged 8+), adolescents and adults with complex presentations, including eating disorders, trauma-related difficulties, emotional dysregulation, neurodivergence and overlapping mental health needs.
We accept referrals from NHS commissioners and international health authorities, and welcome private enquiries via self-funding or medical insurance.
All referrals are subject to clinical review to assess suitability, level of risk and therapeutic fit.
