Welcome To ExploreBuddy

Change the View. Change the Life.
Building a world that celebrates neurodiversity and supports every unique path.

At ExploreBuddy, we believe that every neurodivergent person deserves to feel understood, supported and empowered to thrive - whether at home, in school or at work.

​

We’re here for parents who want thoughtful mental health support and deeper self-awareness. For children and adults navigating anxiety, mood changes or sensory sensitivities. For organisations committed to building inclusive environments where neurodiverse employees can flourish.

​

Through expert-led courses, personalised one-to-one support and our innovative Deep Lens Model, we offer practical strategies, compassionate guidance and inclusive solutions tailored to real-life needs.

​

ExploreBuddy is more than a service. It’s a community built on empathy, expertise and the belief that everyone deserves to be seen and supported.

Founder's Story

ExploreBuddy was created as a one-stop hub for neurodivergent needs, a space where parents can find understanding and guidance, children can receive support with anxiety, mood, or sensory sensitivities, and schools, organisations, and workplaces can access expertise in building truly inclusive environments. 

​

The founder, Lucinda Wiley, is an Specialist Mental Health Nurse, trained at the University of Stirling, with extensive background in psychological interventions. She gained additional expert training in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities at the University of Leeds, along with advanced study in Inclusive Practice and Sensory Integration which has shaped a career dedicated to supporting neurodivergent individuals of all ages. She is a member of the Nursing and Midwifery Council and the UK Society of Behaviour Analysis.

​

Lucinda’s work has spanned children, adults, and professionals, with a focus on tailoring

approaches to meet individual needs. Through years of practice, she developed the Deep Lens Model, a strengths-based, neuroaffirming framework designed to highlight the power of special interests in creating emotional safety, connection, and growth.​

 

At the heart of ExploreBuddy is a commitment to providing compassionate, practical, and evidence-informed support that celebrates strengths, fosters understanding, and creates environments where neurodivergent people and their families can truly be their authentic self.
