Online Counselling Australia-Wide

I provide neurodivergent-led, trauma-informed counselling with a particular focus on supporting women and neurodivergent adults (autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD). My approach is inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming, and collaborative, creating a space to honour your natural rhythms and explore what matters most to you.

Together we can:

Process late-identification of neurodivergence (formally or self-identified)
Build confidence, self-worth, and self-advocacy
Support burnout prevention/recovery, and energy management
Manage anxiety, overwhelm and support emotional regulation
Navigate social, relationship, and workplace challenges
Identify sensory and environmental supports
Plan and navigate life transitions and changes
Support routines and executive functioning

Feeling disappointed and frustrated with the recent announcements. Sending a big hug to anyone who might be feeling similar!

These gardens feel like magic to me 🍀

Time slows down and everything feels a little lighter. Being surrounded by sunlight, fresh air, and nature brings me back to myself.

Do you have a place like that?

For those who are both autistic and ADHD, life can sometimes feel like a constant balancing act 🍀

You might crave new experiences and adventure while also finding comfort in routine and predictability. Some areas of life may be highly organised, while others remain flexible (and maybe a little chaotic)

Although this balance can be challenging, these traits often complement each other beautifully. For example, ADHD can bring creativity, quick thinking and adaptability, while autism can bring focus, attention to detail and structured planning (a pretty great combo!)

Everyone’s experience is unique, and embracing the way you experience the world, along with your strengths and support needs, can help you find your own rhythm 🕺

Guilt vs Shame 🍀

Guilt and shame can be experienced very differently, and often come from different places.

Depending on the context, guilt can actually be helpful. It shows us when our actions don’t match our values, and it can guide our decisions or behaviours moving forward. It's worth noticing whether the guilt you’re feeling comes from your own values, if you might actually be carrying someone else’s expectations, or if what you're feeling is really shame.

Shame, on the other hand, is about how we feel as a person. It focuses on the self rather than actions, and is the sense that something is wrong, or not good enough with who we are.

I’m putting the finishing touches on a free evidence-based resource all about autism in adult women, written through a neuroaffirming lens.

If you’d like a copy, comment a 🍀 below!

Autism is a spectrum, and not every autistic person will relate to all of these (and that’s okay!)

Neuroaffirming support is about genuinely respecting and valuing different ways of thinking, feeling, and processing. It’s creating a space where people feel safe to show up exactly as they are. It’s support that works with your brain, not against it.
