Square1 is your go‑to hub for understanding neurodiversity in a way that feels simple, supportive, and genuinely helpful. Whether you’re just beginning to explore the topic or looking for clear answers to specific questions, we’re here to make the journey easier.
From bite‑sized resources and blogs to short, accessible videos, Square1 brings everything together in one place. Our aim is to demystify neurodiversity and offer guidance in formats that work for you—practical, digestible, and grounded in real understanding.
Square1 is the brainchild of Marjolein and Becci, who have many years’ experience supporting children and adults who are neurodiverse. Our resources will be created by us and come from the real world of neurodiversity, from real people and real situations.

The Little Serenity Company
My name is Shean and I am an registered Occupational Therapist with HCPC and a fully qualified and BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. I am also a qualified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) practitioner.
I am currently able to offer remote therapy via Zoom on a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday (morning) only.
I have extensive experience of working as a CBT Therapist and Occupational Therapist in a variety of adult mental health settings within the NHS, including psychiatry, drugs and alcohol services and the Talking Therapy Service. With regards to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy my experience is working with adults aged 16 and over with common mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, trauma, BDD, phobias and obsessive compulsive disorder.
With regards to EMDR, this is an evidence based treatment for trauma that helps a client to process and recover from past experiences that might be affecting their psychological wellbeing.
I love working with clients to help improve their psychological wellbeing and independence and feel passionately that whether a client requests CBT or Occupational Therapy, I can offer a supportive environment, that is client centred, collaborative, holistic, flexible and compassionate to enable you to improve your wellbeing by making meaningful changes and to achieve your goals
Continuing professional development is an integral part of my clinical practice and I regularly attend supervision, workshops and short courses to keep my practice updated and evidence based.
Please do get in touch if you want to arrange a short telephone call to discuss how I might be able to support your wellbeing.
Lucy Routledge – Occupational Therapist
I’m an HCPC registered Occupational Therapist, currently splitting my time between private practice and working within a specialist NHS eating disorder service. I have extensive experience working with children and young people and have a particular passion for supporting those experiencing anxiety, low confidence, emotional regulation difficulties and challenges associated with neurodivergence. My background is in psychology and I am currently undertaking postgraduate training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), further developing my psychological and therapeutic skills alongside my occupational therapy practice.
I take a warm, person-centred and strengths-based approach, working collaboratively with young people and their families. I work from a psychotherapeutic lens within my occupational therapy practice, combining psychological understanding with practical strategies to support overall wellbeing and participation in everyday life. I believe in celebrating each child’s individuality and uniqueness, helping them to understand and value their strengths while developing strategies that work for them. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where young people feel heard, understood and empowered to develop a greater understanding of themselves.
I currently have availability for new clients Thursday daytime or Wednesday evenings.
