Kassy Drossou

The office hours are Monday -Friday 8.00 am 21.00pm

I operate during the weekends too.

Dr Kassy Drosou  provides  psychological services and evidence based support to young people and adults who identify as neurodivergent.

Dr Kassy Drosou practice is a neuroaffirming one. Her approach actively respects and supports neurodivergent individuals (e.g., Autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, etc.) rather than trying to “fix” or normalize them. In her approach she validates and embraces the diversity in the human neurology , views neurodiversity thought the lens of social model rather than the medical one , acknowledges neurodiverse trauma and explores sensory preferences.

Dr Kassy Drosou is trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centered, Acceptance Commitment Therapy ,Existential and Psychodynamic Therapy, although her approach will depend on the client’s needs. Dr Kassy Drosou is also trained Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) with the EMDR Academy and adapts the approach to meet the needs of her neurodivergent clients.

Dr Kassy Drosou has worked almost exclusively with more cognitively able adults with an Autism Spectrum Condition for the past 22 years in NHS psychotherapy services and the voluntary sector. Since 2013 Dr Kassy Drosou has also been offering Autism Diagnostic assessments, screening tests, counselling, social skills groups, couple’s psychotherapy (where one both of spouses is on the spectrum), Autism Training , Sibling and Family support. She is also helps individuals apply for reasonable adjustments where appropriate and offers Autism coaching. She also accepts referrals from Access to Work.

The use of the title Dr in this directory listing relates to the member’s doctorate qualification. However, this does not imply a general medical qualification.

 Dr Kassy Drosou  practice follows a neurodiversity-affirming approach which takes into account a person’s neurodivergence and how their brain functions differently from the neurotypical norm; it celebrates those differences ,while still respecting struggles and providing assistance. She  also acknowledges the challenges of fitting in within the neurotypical way of being and how traumatising that can be.
