Diana Morcom

Clinical Psychologist & Director (She/Her)

Diana is a Clinical, Educational and Developmental Psychologist with around 20 years of experience as a psychologist and more than 10 years of experience working specifically with the neurodivergent community.

Throughout her career, Diana has worked across a range of settings, including child protection, drug and alcohol services, schools and not-for-profit organisations. She has considerable experience supporting people who have experienced trauma, as well as those experiencing mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression.

Diana is a trained Circle of Security facilitator and draws upon an attachment-based framework in her work. She regularly completes parenting capacity assessments and provides recommendations within child protection contexts. She also works therapeutically with children and young people living in out-of-home care, alongside their carers and broader care teams.

Diana is an LGBTQIA+ ally and is committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive support. She practices neuroaffirming psychological therapy and assessment, focusing on each person’s strengths, needs and individual way of experiencing the world, rather than viewing neurodivergence as something that needs to be “fixed” or changed.

Her work incorporates principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which supports psychological flexibility through mindfulness and actions aligned with personal values. She also draws upon Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS), an approach that understands challenging behaviour as a sign of unmet needs and focuses on collaboration, skill development and finding solutions that work for everyone.

Diana has a particular interest in Pathological Demand Avoidance/Persistent Drive for Autonomy (PDA), creative and flexible approaches to therapy and assessment, and understanding the overlap between autistic experiences and trauma.

Diana offers autism and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnostic assessments for children, adolescents and adults, which are typically combined with an assessment of adaptive functioning. She also provides individual therapy for children from six years of age, young people and adults.

Diana is an experienced group facilitator and presenter who delivers workshops, professional development, therapeutic groups and community education. Her facilitation and presentation style is practical, engaging and relaxed, creating space for curiosity, reflection and honest discussion.

As a Board-Approved Supervisor, Diana provides peer supervision and supervision for provisional psychologists, as well as clinical and educational and developmental psychologists working towards endorsement. She also enjoys providing supervision, consultation and guidance to other clinicians, including speech pathologists and occupational therapists, and to educators seeking to strengthen their neuroaffirming practice.

Outside of work, Diana is Mum to a gang of three girls, with plenty of neurodivergence in-house. She is an active member of her community and has volunteered on the committees and boards of various educational and sporting organisations and clubs. Diana loves sport, particularly basketball, as well as social justice, true crime podcasts and television shows, and all things Disney.

A new puppy, Lottie, has recently joined Diana’s family and occasionally features on AMOYO’s Facebook page, getting up to all sorts of cheeky mischief.

Diana created AMOYO to provide an inclusive and welcoming space where people feel understood, accepted and supported. Her vision was to create a service that responds flexibly and creatively to each person’s individual needs, rather than expecting people to fit within a traditional model of care.

Availability: Diana is currently at capacity for assessment and therapy clients in 2026. She has some capacity for professional supervision.

Her early work spanned adult mental health services and forensic and family court settings, where she supported individuals and families navigating complex psychological, relational and legal systems.

Lisa completed her clinical training in 2017 and has since developed extensive experience working with people with disability across the lifespan. This has shaped a clinical approach that is developmentally informed, context aware and responsive to broader systemic factors. Lisa also brings lived experience as an autistic and ADHD clinician, which meaningfully informs her clinical perspective and deepens her understanding of neurodivergence, identity and the barriers people may experience when accessing appropriate care and support.

Lisa has a strong assessment background, with particular expertise in autism and ADHD diagnostic assessments for children, adolescents and adults. She also completes cognitive and educational assessments to help identify a person’s learning strengths, support needs and individual learning profile. These assessments can assist individuals, families, schools and other support networks to better understand how a person learns and inform appropriate recommendations and supports.

Her therapeutic approach is integrative and highly individualised, drawing upon Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) informed frameworks while remaining responsive to each client’s circumstances, values and goals.

Lisa particularly enjoys supporting people who are exploring whether they may be neurodivergent, as well as those adjusting to a recent diagnosis or a diagnosis received later in life. She provides a safe and affirming space for clients to explore what a diagnosis may mean for their identity, relationships and life experiences. This may include making sense of past experiences through a new lens, recognising personal strengths and support needs, processing complex feelings about diagnosis, and developing ways of living that feel more sustainable and authentic. Lisa is a co-facilitator of AMOYO’s PDA Panda Group.

Jasmin Riddle

Registered Educational and Developmental Psychologist (she/her)

Jasmin is a Registered Educational and Developmental Psychologist who is passionate about supporting children, adolescents and adults, as well as their families, to better understand themselves, recognise their strengths and thrive in ways that feel meaningful to them.

Educational and Developmental Psychologists have specialised knowledge of learning, development and wellbeing across the lifespan. Jasmin draws upon this understanding to consider the whole person, including their individual strengths and needs, developmental stage, relationships, learning environment and broader life experiences.

Jasmin works from a neuroaffirming, trauma informed and strengths based perspective. She views each person’s experiences through the social model of disability, recognising that distress and disability can be significantly influenced by environments, expectations and systems that do not accommodate individual differences. Her work focuses not only on supporting the person, but also on helping to create environments in which they feel safe, understood, accepted and able to flourish.

Jasmin provides cognitive and psychoeducational assessments for children aged 10 years and over, adolescents and adults. These assessments can help individuals and families develop a clearer understanding of a person’s cognitive profile, learning strengths, areas of difficulty and support needs. Jasmin provides thoughtful and practical recommendations that can be applied across home, school, further education, work and everyday life.

She also provides autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnostic assessments for children aged 10 years and over, adolescents and adults. Jasmin approaches assessment as more than the identification of a diagnosis. She aims to provide a respectful and affirming process that helps each person make sense of their experiences, develop greater self understanding and identify the supports and accommodations that may help them move forward.

Alongside assessment, Jasmin provides individual psychological therapy, tailored executive functioning support, parent guidance and school consultation. She can support people experiencing challenges related to emotional regulation, anxiety, confidence, executive functioning, learning, identity, relationships and navigating the demands of school, study, work and everyday life.

Jasmin works collaboratively with clients, families, educators and other professionals to develop practical and individualised strategies. Her approach builds upon each person’s strengths, responds to their unique needs and promotes meaningful and sustainable change. She recognises that strategies are most helpful when they fit the individual, rather than expecting the individual to fit a standard approach.

Known for her warm, genuine and thoughtful manner, Jasmin values creating a space where clients feel respected, empowered and understood. She enjoys helping people develop a deeper understanding of their unique brain, recognise what supports them and discover practical ways to work with, rather than against, their neurotype.

Luke is a Provisional Psychologist who is currently completing postgraduate studies in psychology. They have worked within the primary mental health sector for the past seven years in roles including mental health peer worker, alcohol and other drug counsellor, and family support worker.

Luke is also a yoga and BodyBalance instructor and brings an awareness of the connection between the mind and body into their therapeutic work. They recognise that emotional experiences can be felt within the body and that movement, sensory awareness and body based approaches may be helpful for some clients. Luke adapts these approaches according to each person’s preferences, comfort and individual needs.

Luke identifies as agender and queer and uses any pronouns. They also bring lived experience of mental health challenges, which meaningfully informs how they understand and connect with clients. Luke has extensive experience supporting neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ people and understands the importance of creating spaces where clients feel accepted, respected and able to be themselves.

Luke’s nephew is neurodivergent, and supporting their family to better understand and respond to his needs has been a significant privilege.

Luke approaches their work from a compassionate, curious and human centred perspective. They recognise that every person experiences the world differently and remain open to understanding each client’s unique experiences, values, identity, strengths and support needs. Rather than assuming what will be helpful, Luke works collaboratively with clients to discover approaches and strategies that feel relevant, realistic and meaningful to them.

They support clients to strengthen their understanding of emotions, develop practical regulation skills, explore their values and take meaningful steps towards the life they want to build. Their approach is flexible, affirming and responsive to each individual.

They help clients understand their mental health and wellbeing within a broader holistic framework, recognising that sustainable change often involves both individual strategies and supportive environments.

Neuroaffirming language

Neuroaffirming language is a way of speaking about people with neurological differences that is respectful and strengths-based. Everyone’s brain works in a unique way and we can choose to approach with curiosity.

On this website and in our services, we will:

Avoid (even inadvertent) offensive terms: Consider the time, place, and manner of communication, as well as the preferences of the people involved
Ask about preferences: Ask people what terminology they prefer and use it.
Celebrate diversity: Recognise that diversity is valuable and that all kinds of people and minds are needed to thrive.
Focus on strengths: Talk about a person's strengths, interests, and differences in a positive way.
Avoid deficit-based language: Avoid using language that focuses on deficits or disabilities.
Use identity-first language: The neurodivergent community most commonly prefer to be referred to as autistic, not "a person with autism" or "as being on the spectrum". We will also avoid “ASD", which many people still use, without realising its offensive to many of the autistic community.

Our Space

A Mind of Your Own has a quiet and sensory friendly therapy space located in Findon.

Our sensory friendly rooms are quiet, with dimmed lighting available. We have sensory toys, a variety of seating options, and neuroaffirming resources available.
