Hi, I’m Rachel, founder of CuriousNeuro Counselling. I offer counselling for neurodivergent adults, including ADHD, Autistic, and AuDHD adults, with a special interest in late identification and the perinatal period. Many of my clients come to counselling feeling overwhelmed by sensory overload, burnout, sleep deprivation, rejection sensitivity, anxiety, low mood, and the daily pressure of work, relationships, and parenting. I provide a warm, affirming space where we make sense of what is going on and find practical, nervous-system-friendly strategies that support more ease, self-understanding, and confidence.
The space from where I greet you for our online sessions
I offer neuroaffirming, trauma-informed online counselling for ADHDers, Autistic people and AuDHD adults. I help with emotional regulation, rejection sensitivity, burnout, sensory overwhelm, and executive functioning. I also support perinatal mental health through pregnancy and postpartum, including anxiety, low mood, and intrusive worries.
If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself, you’re not alone. Whether you’re navigating ADHD or Autistic overwhelm in daily life, or adjusting to pregnancy and the early newborn period, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you and build supports that suit your brain and nervous system.

I use a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, person-centred approach, drawing on ACT and psychoeducation. In our first session, you'll be met with warmth and no pressure. We'll gently explore what's been going on, what you're hoping for, and what helps you feel safe and supported, then choose an easy first step together.
