Hello! I am Bronwen Whistance. I want to provide an online counselling service for adults who are newly identified as Neurodivergent. This is a time of discovery - of looking back with compassion, of sitting in the present with fresh eyes and looking ahead with adventure in your heart. If this rings bells for you and you are willing to begin, I can accompany you as a support, a witness, a cheer-squad-of-one in a safe space to explore, understand and accept yourself.
I have been working as a counsellor for 10 years, with youth and adults in Alcohol and other Drugs in prison and in the community, and Forensic Mental Health with NGO’S and Community Health organisations. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a background in Philosophy, a Horticulturist, and a keen sense of wonder.
I am recently diagnosed AuDHD and I have travelled a long and challenging path to reach this point. I bring empathy and understanding of the journey and hope for building a meaningful and wondrous life.

The Graduate Diploma in Counselling was a game changer for me, moving on from a Youth Work and Horticulture combination. The course brought practical skills and counselling theory together and built on my undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Sociology. I am a perpetual student with plans for a MSc

I aim to support your existential adventure - finding who you are, how you think, what is working and what is outdated. We will discuss your wants and needs, ideas that help you and those that hold you back. For the Neurodivergent clients we will explore your new identity and find meaning in your way of being.
