Hi, I’m Rachel, founder of CuriousNeuro Counselling. I offer counselling and coaching for neurodivergent adults, including ADHD, Autistic and AuDHD adults, with a special interest in late identification and the perinatal period. I support clients with overwhelm, sensory overload, burnout, rejection sensitivity, anxiety, low mood, work, relationships and parenting. Together, we make sense of what’s going on and build practical, nervous-system-friendly supports for more ease, self-understanding and confidence.
I offer neuroaffirming counselling and coaching for ADHDers, Autistic and AuDHD adults. I support emotional regulation, rejection sensitivity, burnout, sensory overwhelm, executive functioning, and perinatal mental health during pregnancy, postpartum and early parenting.
If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself, you’re not alone. Whether you’re navigating ADHD or Autistic overwhelm, late identification, pregnancy, postpartum or early parenting, we can work gently at your pace and build supports that fit your brain, body and life.
