Navigating the world as a neurodivergent individual can be incredibly challenging, especially without adequate support. Autistic and ADHD individuals, LGBTQIA+ folks, and trauma survivors often face unique hurdles and higher rates of trauma and PTSD than the neurotypical population. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and dealing with sensory differences, executive functioning difficulties, and the pressures of masking can make it even tougher.

People seeking psychological services know that it is a deeply personal experience to connect with another human being trying to improve their life experience. I have always believed in personal service, the one-on-one conversation where the person feels heard and validated, instead of big business where clients feel like a number. I aim to be respectful and connected and ensure a high standard of care for all my clients.

I’m Dom Caesar, a queer, non-binary autistic social worker and counsellor, offering affordable, neuroaffirming support to adults and young people navigating life’s complexities. I blend professional expertise with genuine understanding. My approach is rooted in radical, relational practice: I don’t pathologise, I don’t “fix,” and I’m not here to force you into boxes. Instead, we’ll work with your strengths to reimagine what support can look like - whether that’s challenging systems that exclude you, embracing your neurodivergent identity, or finding practical ways to exist authentically in a world that misunderstands difference.
