Support for neurodivergent humans
My approach
I aim to be neuro-affirming, meaning that I don't see ADHD as problem (or set of problems) to be 'fixed'. I also understand that ADHD can be *hard*, and finding the right tools for you can help a lot.
I'm interested in what's really important to you - not what you think should be important or what the people around you think. For some, figuring this out is a journey in itself. Once we identify what you want, we can focus on the barriers to getting there.
I see understanding and self-acceptance as really crucial (to work on). The world isn't always nice when you don't quite fit in and it's easy to internalise others' expectations, critical voices, and ableism. But the more you understand yourself, generally the easier it is to understand why some things are hard for you and to have self-compassion. By self-compassion I mean seeing yourself with understanding and empathy, and speaking to yourself with kindness rather than criticism.
When executive functioning difficulties (eg procrastination, trouble with planning or managing time) are barriers, having the right tools can help. For skills coaching I draw from a protocol called Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for Adult ADHD, which is designed specifically to help with these types of struggles. It differs from standard CBT, particularly in its emphasis on practical skills and strategies rather than focusing a lot on your thinking.

Telehealth
I work via telehealth (video) so you can be located anywhere in Australia. Unfortunately I'm not able to see you as a client if you live outside Australia.
​
Accessibility during sessions
During sessions you're of course welcome to fidget, stim, move, walk, whatever. There's no pressure to make eye contact. If you need a break from talking you can type instead within the video app (Coviu).
