Rethinking Therapy Models for Neurodivergent Clients with Lucy Orton

Berries Episode 22

If you’ve ever felt boxed in by the traditional 50-minute therapy model, this episode will expand your view of what’s possible. Therapist and coach Lucy Orton joins Kym to share how she built a global, intentionally spacious practice that serves high-achieving and neurodivergent clients through intensives rather than weekly sessions.

Lucy breaks down how she blends modalities like IFS, Brainspotting, and Relational Life Therapy to help clients do deep, focused work in a fraction of the time. She also opens up about balancing private practice with corporate consulting, pricing with confidence, and how AI tools like Berries fit into a sustainable, modern practice.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • How Lucy transitioned from coaching to therapy and built a global hybrid practice.
  • Why intensives work especially well for high achievers and neurodivergent clients.
  • How to structure and price therapy intensives without burning out.
  • The ethical and practical realities of working internationally as a clinician.
  • How to bring therapeutic skills into corporate consulting and land organizational contracts.
  • What therapists can learn from coaches about money mindset and scalability.
  • Ways AI tools like Berries can enhance client care and free up time for clinicians.
