About NeuroSense

Claire McKenzie-Sime (she/her), Specialist Occupational Therapist, Late Diagnosed Autist
Hi, I am the founder of NeuroSense. I began my career as an OT after graduating with an MSc from Caledonian University in Glasgow in 2018 and later as a Sensory Integration Therapist in 2025. Since then I have gained extensive clinical experience in both private and NHS healthcare settings, assisting people with conditions such as schizophrenia, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, diagnosed and undiagnosed ADHD/ASD, and sensory processing difficulties.
I am currently Clinical Lead of the Adult Autism Diagnostic Service for NHS Highland, a journey which began with my own late Autism diagnosis while I was working as an OT in community mental health.
I have lived experience of what it is like to go through the assessment process and just how difficult it can be, so I have since devoted myself to certifying and training as an assessor for neurodevelopmental conditions, using different diagnostic tools (which are of the gold standard for Autism and ADHD).
If you are looking for an indication of whether having a full assessment would be beneficial for you but don't know how to gather your thoughts or evidence of your difficulties to discuss with your GP in order for them to refer you, then I can help you.
Additionally, I can help you with what comes next. Often due to NHS constraints, when you do get a positive Autism diagnosis, there little support for adults afterwards - something that I want to help change.
What sets NeuroSense apart from other services?
At NeuroSense, we are here to support you on whichever part of the Neurodevelopmental Pathway you are on, whether you identify as self-diagnosed, awaiting diagnosis or are post diagnosis.
We don't discriminate between those who do or don't have an NHS or private diagnosis and we particularly want to help if you have been given negative results at assessment but still need help.
Our therapist is an MSc qualified practitioner with experience in both the NHS, private sectors and have specialist training in use of ADOS-II, DIVA-V, ADI-R and ACIA diagnostic tools for ADHD and Autistic Spectrum Conditions and SPM-2, AASH assessment tools for Sensory Processing difficulties.
Our therapist has a full PVG disclosure for working with children & vulnerable adults.
We are registered with The Health and Care Professions Council, The British Association of Occupational Therapists and are Alumni of the Sensory Integration Education Club.
Most sessions can be provided via videochat media such as Zoom, Whatsapp, MSTeams etc, so you can choose whatever communication channel is best for you should you not be able to attend in person.
In person sessions and assessments will be conducted from within:
