What I would like you to know:

I specialise in supporting couples where one or both partners are neurodivergent (Autism, ADHD, AuDHD, learning differences), with a particular focus on mixed neurotype relationships.

​

My expertise includes helping couples understand:

• Neurotype-based perception differences
  Why the same behaviour, words, or situations can feel supportive to one partner and overwhelming, rejecting, or confusing to the other.

• Nervous system–driven communication patterns
  How sensory processing, emotional regulation, and stress responses shape communication, conflict, and connection.

• Recurring conflict cycles
  Identifying and interrupting patterns rooted in mismatch, not intention, such as pursue/withdraw, shutdown/escalation, or logic/emotion loops.

• Connection without masking or resentment
  Building relational safety where neurodivergent partners don’t have to mask, and neurotypical partners don’t carry chronic emotional labour or unmet needs.

• Practical, neuro-affirming strategies
  Tools that support clarity, regulation, and mutual understanding, without pathologizing either partner.

I support families navigating neurodiversity across generations, helping them build understanding, connection, and practical strategies for everyday life.

​

My work with families includes support for:

• Parent–child relationships
  Strengthening communication, attachment, and emotional safety while balancing warmth with clear boundaries.

• Sibling dynamics
  Addressing misunderstandings, rivalry, and differing needs in neurodiverse sibling relationships.

• In-law and extended family challenges
  Navigating differences in expectations, beliefs, and communication styles that often create tension across generations.

• Reducing meltdowns, shutdowns, and emotional overload
  Understanding nervous system needs, identifying triggers, and developing proactive, compassionate regulation strategies for the whole family.

I support organisations where neurodivergent and neurotypical people work side by side, helping teams move from misunderstanding and friction to clarity, trust, and effective collaboration.

​

My work with workplaces and teams addresses:

• Communication breakdowns
  Reducing ambiguity, unspoken expectations, and mismatched communication styles that undermine performance and trust.

• Misread behaviours
  Challenging assumptions around motivation, attitude, or competence that often mask neurotype differences.

• Burnout and disengagement
  Identifying systemic stressors that disproportionately impact neurodivergent employees and redesigning work practices to support sustainable performance.

• Inclusion beyond hiring
  Shifting the focus from recruitment to retention, progression, and manager capability.​

The goal: helping teams move from assumption to understanding and from friction to function.

For neurodivergent children, teens, adults, and their families who need concrete, usable tools for everyday life.

​

Support includes:

• Executive functioning skills (planning, organisation, task initiation)

• Managing routines, transitions, and daily demands

• Emotional regulation and coping strategies

• Building independence without overwhelm

• Translating insight into action through practical, step-by-step tools

Focus: turning psychological knowledge into tools people can actually use in real life.

 

For neurodivergent individuals and families seeking clarity, language, and confidence.

​

Support includes:

• Understanding neurodivergent profiles without pathologizing

• Developing a positive, realistic self-concept

• Reducing shame, self-blame, and internalised stigma

• Building self-advocacy skills at school, work, and home

• Helping parents support autonomy while staying connected

Focus: helping individuals understand themselves and communicate their needs without masking or apologising.
