Meet Tahirah Yasin — founder of Neurodirectory
Tahirah Yasin is an accredited psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and the founder of Neurodirectory. She has spent over 20 years working with children, young people.
Tahirah is also late-diagnosed dyslexic. She knows firsthand what it means to move through a world that wasn’t built for her to carry for years the quiet, damaging belief that the problem was her, rather than the systems around her.
It wasn’t. And for the hundreds of clients she has worked with, it wasn’t theirs either.
Neurodirectory was not born from a business plan. It was born from frustration, lived experience, and the recognition that something fundamental was missing — a place where neurodivergent people could find support across their whole life, not just their diagnosis. Tahirah built what she could not find.
Our vision and values
Our vision is to thrive in a world that cherishes and embraces neurodiversity. A society where distinct minds of neurodivergent are not only accepted but celebrated, free from the burden of stigma. We aspire to create an environment that supports and nurtures the unique strengths and perspectives that we are neurodivergent bring, inclusivity and understanding for all.
Empowerment
The Neuro Directory exists because neurodivergent people deserve more than tolerance. More than awareness. More than a system that makes small adjustments and calls it inclusion.
We believe that a brain wired differently is not a deficit. It is a different way of moving through the world one that comes with its own strengths, its own challenges, and its own need for support that actually fits.
We don’t celebrate neurodiversity from a distance. We build for it. Practically. Specifically. Led by people who live it.
Connection
The Neuro Directory was built on the understanding that the most powerful thing we can offer a neurodivergent person is not a service it is a sense of belonging.
For too many people, neurodivergence has meant isolation. Feeling different without knowing why. Finding the diagnosis but losing the community. Being surrounded by people and still feeling entirely alone.
Connection is not a feature of what we do. It is the foundation. Every listing, every recommendation, every professional on this platform exists because someone in this community pointed to them and said this person understood me.
That is how The Neurodirectory grows. Not through algorithms. Through trust.
Self-Acceptance
Many neurodivergent people arrive at The Neuro Directory carrying years of being told directly or indirectly that the way they think, feel, and move through the world is wrong.
It is not wrong. It never was.
Self-acceptance is not something we can hand to anyone. But we can build a space where it becomes possible. Where you are not required to mask to be welcomed. Where the parts of you that have been misunderstood, rejected, or pathologised are not liabilities they are simply part of who you are.
We believe that when a neurodivergent person finds professionals who genuinely understand them, something fundamental shifts. The exhausting work of explaining yourself stops. And the quieter, more important work of accepting yourself can begin.
The Team
The Neurodirectory is built by people who understand professionally, personally. They know what it means to navigate a world that was not designed for you.
We are not a corporate platform that discovered neurodiversity as a market. We are practitioners, advocates, and neurodivergent people ourselves, united by a single conviction: that the right connection, at the right moment, can change the entire trajectory of someone’s life.
Our commitment to this community is not a mission statement on a wall. It is the reason this platform exists at all.
