From the earliest records of civilisation to instinctual courtship rituals observed in animals, dancing has always been central to express emotion, identity and intent. It is one of the most ancient forms of movement – as primal as walking or breathing – yet it is often undervalued compared to conventional sport when considering physical fitness and health.

Let’s face it – when you’ve spent your evening cooking tea, supervising homework, and clearing up a mini toy apocalypse, the last thing you need is your brain refusing to switch off.

Navigating an autism or ADHD diagnosis can feel like entering a new world – one filled with uncertainty, questions, and the pressure to get everything “right”. But what if the key to moving forward is not rushing into action, but learning to listen, reflect, and reframe?
We spoke to Dr Selina Warlow, Clinical Psychologist and founder of The Nook Neurodevelopmental Clinic, a service specialising in private autism and ADHD assessments for children, young people, and adults from age 5 upwards. With clinics in South Kensington (Central London), Farnham (Surrey), and Summertown (Oxford), The Nook is founded on over a decade of experience in both NHS and private mental health services. Dr Warlow’s mission is clear: to provide thoughtful, evidence-based assessments and support that empower families from the very first step.
In this insightful and compassionate interview, Dr Warlow speaks openly about what a diagnosis really means, why parent education is as vital as therapy, and how small changes at home or school can lead to life-changing results. Whether you’re at the beginning of a diagnostic journey or supporting a neuro-divergent child day-to-day, her advice is practical, reassuring, and refreshingly honest.
