Specializations

I support individuals, parents, children, and families through a neurodiversity affirming lens to find deeper self-understanding by providing a comprehensive framework of their unique neurology. It is my experience that when parents, teachers, and individuals begin to truly understand these distinctive needs and strengths, and proactively implement evidence-based strategies to meet them, they begin to see remarkable and positive shifts in themselves, their children, their families, and their schools.

I offer support for:

  • Trauma
  • Neurodivergence (highly sensitive, autistic, dyslexic, ADHD, PDA, gifted, CPTSD, etc.)
  • Chronic Health Conditions (ME/chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorders, allergies, and others)
  • Addiction
  • Eating Disorders
  • Parenting Strategies
  • Grief and loss

                                                                      I am currently offering online appointments only.

Parent Support & Family Counselling

Many of the parenting supports offered by well meaning professionals, parenting books, podcasts, blogs, and courses simply do not take all types of kids or parents into consideration. Sometimes traditional parenting strategies are unsuccessful and can make behaviours even worse in some children. This can leave families feeling hopeless and burnt out.

I am a neurodivergent parent supporting a neurodivergent child who does not respond to typical parenting and teaching strategies. I have committed many years searching for different ways to support my child and the families I work with. Whatever your case may be, I can walk alongside you while working to find solutions for the needs of each individual in your family. 

Individual Counselling

Individual counselling with me is suitable for anyone looking to find deeper self-understanding and to process their life through a neurodiversity and trauma informed framework. Whether you identify as neurodivergent, gifted, highly sensitive, or simply find that you are feeling overwhelmed in life, we may be a good fit. In our work together we can find systems that take into account how your unique brain and body functions at home, work, play and in relationship.

Relationship Counselling

As a neurodivergent (ND) human I specialise in supporting couples where one or both parties are ND; whether they are aware of this or not. Many seek relationship counselling to address conflict, increase effective communication, and to deepen their bond. People also come when there are issues of trust or after a specific damaging event such as infidelity or betrayal. Others come when things are going well, knowing that consciously developing a healthy relationship where both parties feel supported, understood, and valued builds a foundation of strength for the inevitable joys, sorrows, and stresses of life. Relationship counselling is not reserved for just couples. Parents and children, siblings, colleagues, and friends can all benefit. In my work, I am supportive of all types of relationships and individuals, might they be queer, straight, polyamorous, monogamous, or otherwise.
