MNZAC (Member of New Zealand Association of Counselling)
ASDCS (Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist)
If you or someone you know has Autism, High Functioning Autism (Aspergers) or ADHD I can help navigate the world through the neurodiverse lense. I have comprehensive experience on a personal and professional level with Autism and ADHD in both children and adults.
Your Neurodiverse Consultant
As a dedicated Neurodiversity Consultant, I specialise in helping parents, educators, and caregivers understand and support children with ADHD and Autism. With a compassionate, strengths-based approach, I work to create environments where neurodivergent children can thrive both at home and in school.
My mission is to bridge the gap between families and educational systems by providing practical tools, personalised strategies, and evidence-based insights tailored to each child’s unique needs. Whether you’re a parent seeking guidance or a teacher navigating inclusive education, I offer expert consultation and training that promotes empathy, empowerment, and real-world results.
Services Include:
- Individualised support plans for children with ADHD and autism
- Parent coaching to build confidence and reduce overwhelm
- Classroom strategies for inclusive education
- Workshops and resources rooted in neurodiversity-affirming practices
My experience can help you
As a mum of an Autistic/ADHD/PDA child and as a qualified counsellor, I bring a unique blend of personal insight and professional expertise to my work. My deep commitment lies in celebrating neurodiversity and supporting individuals in ways that truly honour who they are, not just how they function or learn.
Ways I’ve supported others include:
- Helping parents better understand and connect with their neurodivergent children
- Advocating alongside parents in educational settings to ensure their child’s needs are met
- Providing ADHD coaching for adults navigating life with a new diagnosis
- Supporting Autistic young adults as they build skills and confidence to navigate adulthood
- Helping adults embrace and understand who they are with a new autism diagnosis.
I believe that every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported—exactly as they are.
Let’s work together to build a world where neurodivergent people are not just accommodated, but truly valued.
