Nicolle Griffin
She/Her
Director of Very Helpful Chats and Registered Psychologist
State: NSW
I’m a Registered Psychologist, the founder of Very Helpful Chats, and a proudly neurodivergent clinician working with and for the neurodivergent community. I’ve been a psychologist for 17 years- and neurodivergent since birth- though like many adults, I wasn’t formally identified until much later in life. That experience shaped everything about how I practice today.
director of VHC
At Very Helpful Chats, I lead a majority-neurodivergent team of psychologists, OTs, and admin legends. We specialise in affirming, strengths-based support for Autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent humans. I also provide supervision, design our neurodiversity-affirming assessments, manage the business-y things like marketing and finance, and keeping us legally and ethically compliant without losing our humanity in the process.
Clinical work remains at the heart of what I do. I love working with late-identified neurodivergent adults- especially those navigating chronic illness, complex trauma, or burnout. Together we explore what it means to live an authentic neurodivergent life: unmasking, building better boundaries, understanding sensory needs, working with demand sensitivity, stimming without shame, and finally learning to meet yourself with compassion.
I also work with organisations and leadership teams who want to better support neurodivergent staff or clients. Whether it's reviewing your service design, running trainings, or helping you retain your brilliant-but-burned-out team members, I bring a mix of lived experience, clinical nuance, and a deep hatred of deficit-based pathologising understandings of ADHD, Autism, and neurodivergence.
