Supporting Neuroaffirming Practice, Research & Systems Change

Cathartic Collaborations is a neurodivergent-led practice founded by Caitlin Hughes, working with professionals, researchers and organisations to develop more ethical, accessible and neurodivergent-affirming ways of understanding and working.

Caitlin’s work sits at the intersections of lived experience, research and professional practice. Rather than reducing complex questions to simple explanations or predetermined solutions, they create space to understand what is happening more fully, question assumptions and explore what a neuroaffirming way forward might look like.

Through supervision, consultation, training and speaking, Caitlin works across different layers of change. They are particularly interested in what becomes visible when we look beyond the individual and consider the relationships, environments, structures and assumptions shaping people’s experiences.
