Counselling for Neurodivergent People
I’m a counsellor, former teacher and mum – and my approach to counselling has been shaped by many life experiences. I’ve spent years in classrooms supporting kids with diverse needs, lived and worked overseas, which deepened my appreciation for different cultures and I have a long-standing practice in mindfulness and yoga.
Raising a beautiful, autistic human (and two equally baffling neurotypical ones!) has shaped the way I see the world. It’s taught me to respect the many ways people experience life – and to love meeting people exactly where they’re at.
I’m especially passionate about helping couples strengthen their relationships. In a world where more people feel isolated and disconnected, relationships are a powerful antidote. When relationships are strong, they can heal, support and protect our wellbeing. And when they break down, it can affect every part of life. That’s why I’m committed to walking alongside individuals, parents and couples with warmth and curiosity – helping people feel more connected to themselves and the people who matter most.
You don’t need to mask here. You don’t need to be ‘fixed’.
- I offer a safe, affirming space for neurodivergent individuals (children, teens, and adults) to explore life on their terms. Whether you're autistic, ADHD, PDA, dyslexic or otherwise wired differently, you deserve support that respects who you are, not who the world expects you to be. This is not about becoming someone different. This is about supporting you (or your child) to feel understood, respected and empowered in a world that often misunderstands difference.
Is this you or your child?
- Burnt out from masking or trying to meet expectations that never felt like yours.
- Struggling with sensory overwhelm, anxiety, shutdowns or executive functioning challenges.
- A parent of a neurodivergent child looking for guidance that doesn’t pathologise your family.
- Newly diagnosed and unsure what it means or wondering if you need a label at all.
- Feeling misunderstood in relationships, work, school or even by people close to you.
- Someone who’s navigating late-in-life realisations about neurodivergence and what that means for your identity.
What you can expect
- A neurodiversity-affirming approach grounded in respect, curiosity and consent.
- Support for autonomy, identity and self-understanding, not compliance.
- Adaptable sessions, I follow your rhythm, interests and communication style.
- No pressure to make eye contact, sit still or 'talk about your feelings' right away.
- Tools and strategies tailored to how your brain works, not cookie-cutter strategies and worksheets.
- If you're a parent, collaborative support to help you understand your child’s needs without blame or shame.
- If you're an adult, space to reclaim your identity and build relationships that actually work for you.
