A space for understanding and celebrating neurodiversity
The Brain Sanctuary
Every brain is unique and special. Let’s discover your brain’s superpower. Once you do? It’s life changing!
This is a space for your brain. Find the resources and skills for a fulfilling and happy life, and learn how to understand others around you. What makes them tick? What makes you tick? Empathy and understanding other people’s superpowers can help to change their life, as well as your own.
Here at The Brain Sanctuary we use a combination of learnings and approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, Interpersonal Neurobiology, for starters. Neurodiversity and psychology experts join our formidable community of families to create and share tools and resources that you can use each and every day to tap into your brain’s superpowers.
The Brain Sanctuary is a space to gather information, try new things and support others through their journey of neurodiversity.

In a world of technology where the latest news interrupts us multiple times a day and there is constant stimulation everywhere you look, we all need a sanctuary to retreat to when things get too loud and overwhelming.
This is that place.
All of our resources are designed to be used offline, in the quiet of your own home, office, or where ever you need them. Some can be done instantly, others require a bit more set up. Either way, we’ve got you.
First up? Complete this little worksheet all about you and what makes your brain tick. Why not get others in your family to complete it too and compare the differences? We also love this sheet for sharing with teachers, coaches, new therapists and other important people in your life. Just sign up to our newsletter and you'll get instant access.
