Spectrum Parent Counselling
Counsellor, ACA-L1
Online Only
My ideal clients are the "supporters"—parents, carers, and individuals who hold everything together for others. I specifically support late-diagnosed neurodivergent adults and parents navigating the mental load of raising both neurodivergent and neurotypical children. I also offer individual counselling to anyone seeking a safe, mask-free space to be heard. Clients often come to me facing "invisible burnout," advocacy fatigue, or sensory overwhelm. They are tired of being the "strong one" and are looking for a therapist who truly understands the constant pivoting of a neurodivergent life—without them having to explain the basics.

I feel passionate about helping people make meaningful, sustainable, and healthy changes in their lives. I aim to work respectfully and collaboratively with people so that clients build their own independence and develop ways to manage life stressors more effectively, in addition to their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours. A comfortable, empathetic and supportive therapeutic relationship is also very important in my approach, and research shows that this is essential in best outcomes for clients. I generally work on a wide range of mental health and life issues and the approaches I work with are all evidence-based interventions.

I support clients through a wide range of mental health challenges, from anxiety and mood disorders to the more intricate issues of complex trauma and relationship dynamics. My interest with psychology comes from a natural curiosity about human behavior, that transcends into a genuine passion for helping individuals connect with their sense of aliveness and vitality. I’m an explorer of the human condition, and this is reflected in my therapy sessions as I delve into the stories, behaviours and motivations of the incredible individuals who sit across from me.
