🧠 NEURODIVERSITY: UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENTLY 🧠

We’re delighted to welcome Amy Money, Niki McGlynn and Dalia Ismail to the Unfiltered Stage at the Mindset Unlimited Family Wellbeing Festival, where they’ll be joining Alex for an honest, thought-provoking conversation about neurodiversity.

What does it really mean to be neurodivergent? And how can we move beyond labels to better understand regulation, overwhelm, anxiety, focus, masking, relationships, belonging and the experience of navigating a world that isn't always designed for different brains?

💫 Amy Money is a neurodivergent counsellor and psychotherapist, founder of Tribe Counselling & Psychotherapy and a BACP member. Having discovered her own ADHD later in life, Amy brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work with children, teenagers and adults. She specialises in neurodivergence, SEN and family trauma, creating spaces where people can feel understood, unmask and simply be themselves.

🌿 Niki McGlynn specialises in supporting neurodivergent people through coaching and primitive reflex integration. Neurodivergent herself and a parent to two neurodivergent children, Niki understands the challenges from the inside. Her work explores how movement and neuroplasticity can support focus, concentration, emotional regulation and anxiety, while she also works with schools, therapists and businesses to improve understanding of neurodiversity.

💛 Dalia Ismail brings another fascinating perspective. A clinical trials professional, coach, patient advocate and speaker with 16 years’ experience in global clinical research, Dalia was diagnosed with ADHD later in life- giving her a personal insight into understanding your brain differently, while navigating a world that often expects everyone to work in the same way.

Her work sits at the intersection of science, lived experience and human connection, and she is passionate about challenging assumptions, creating greater understanding and inclusion, and creating space for people to be seen, heard and understood.
Together, Amy, Niki, Dalia and Alex will explore the many different faces of neurodiversity — from late diagnosis and lived experience to masking, regulation, overwhelm and practical ways we can better support ourselves and each other.

We'll also look beyond the label: what happens when we stop asking neurodivergent people to fit into the world around them, and start asking how we can make that world work better for different brains?

Most importantly, this is a conversation for everyone — whether you're neurodivergent yourself, think you might be, have discovered your ADHD later in life, are supporting a child or loved one, or simply want to understand more.
