About Me

Dr Anthony Redhead, Clinical Psychologist

I have over 20 years of experience working in NHS adult mental health services, including 14 years as a clinical psychologist. My professional background primarily involves working in community services, where I provided a wide range of psychological therapies tailored to diverse mental health needs.

In recent years, my career has evolved following my own identification as an autistic person and my lived experience as a parent-carer to neurodiverse children. This personal journey led me to join a trust-wide specialist autism service within the NHS. Here, I specialized in promoting autism-informed practices through supervision, consultation, and training across various settings.

My Vision

Building on this foundation, my vision is to establish a private practice/service that is firmly rooted in neuro-affirming principles. The service will provide:

Autism identification for adults in a compassionate, affirming manner.
Post-identification support to help individuals navigate their understanding of themselves.
Adapted psychological therapies that focus on autistic well-being and mental health.
Clinical supervision and consultation for professionals working with autistic individuals.
Tailored training to foster autism-informed approaches in organizations and services.

This venture combines my professional expertise with my personal commitment to creating inclusive, empowering support systems for neurodivergent individuals.
