Care Garden Therapy was founded by two practitioners who’d spent years inside the world of disability and mental health support and who kept noticing the same thing.

Families were tired. Worn out from waitlists, from being passed between services, from explaining their kid from scratch to every new face that walked through the door. Support workers were doing their best with plans that weren’t built for real life. And practitioners – the people who actually wanted to do this work well – were stretched so thin they couldn’t be the kind of clinicians they trained to be.

We’re also Neurodivergent. That part matters. It means we’ve sat on both sides of the table – as clinicians, yes, but also as people who have lived in the world this work is trying to make easier. When we say neuroaffirming, we’re not borrowing the word. We’re describing how we actually think.

We wanted to build something different. A practice to know every family by name. Practitioners with the time to show up properly. Plans written for the people who actually use them. And a quiet, deliberate kind of growth – adding the right people, never just more people.
