Online feminist therapy across Australia for queer and neurodivergent women, trans and non-binary adults
Pushing through used to work. Lately it hasn't.
For a long time, you could push through. Work harder, mask more, hold it together. Lately that has stopped working the way it used to. The effort still goes in. Less comes back, and you are running on empty.
Maybe the ways your life doesn’t fit have become harder to ignore. Maybe relationships that should feel steady have started to feel misaligned, with nothing obviously wrong.
Maybe you have begun to wonder about your neurotype, or your queerness, or both.
It would make sense to read all of this as proof that something is wrong with you. That is where most people land first. There is another explanation, and it is the one we start from. That you have been working hard to fit a world that was never built for the way you are.
People often come to this work carrying
Burnout and overwhelm that gets worse the harder you push.
Questions about identity. Late-discovery ADHD, autism, or AuDHD. Late-discovery or shifting queerness. Sometimes both at once.
Relationships that feel strained or misaligned.
A harsh inner critic, and the sense that you are too much, too sensitive, or not good enough.
Difficulty naming what you need, and a sense of being responsible for everyone else.
Patterns of perfectionism and high achievement that never feel like enough.
A space that stays yours
When you begin ongoing work with me, a regular time becomes yours. The same day, the same time, held for you. You do not rebook week to week, and you are not competing for a slot each time you need one.
Depth work needs that kind of consistency. [Read how the reserved space works →]
What I stand for
Therapy is never neutral. It is always political. My practice is feminist and anti-oppressive, and that shows up in the work, not just the language.
I am neurodiversity affirming. I reject the pathology paradigm and honour ADHD, autism, and other neurotypes.
I practise fat liberation. I reject weight stigma and body-shame and work from Health at Every Size (HAES®) principles.
I am LGBTQIAP+ affirming. I explore and celebrate identity while actively fighting for the rights of queer community.
I am trauma and violence informed. I work to make sure my services do not perpetuate or replicate harmful power dynamics.
A BIT ABOUT ME
I am a queer, AuDHD, feminist therapist and educator, and I live and work at the intersections of neurodivergence, queerness, chronic illness and disability. I have been on the other side of the room, so I know how much finding the right fit matters.
I am warm and direct, and equally at home sitting with the hard stuff and hearing about your passions and special interests. If you have ever been told you’re too much, or too sensitive, or that you just need to try harder, we’ll probably get along.
I also hold white, sighted, and educational privilege, and I work to use that access to dismantle the systems that harm us.

Ways to work with me
Ongoing therapy
Relational depth therapy in a reserved space, for queer and neurodivergent women, trans and non-binary adults ready for weekly, long-term work. This is the heart of my practice.
Making Sense of Your Body - Therapy Intensive
A fixed six-session intensive for neurodivergent adults whose physical symptoms have been dismissed or poorly understood. We use somatic and hypnotherapy work to help you make sense of what might be happening in your body, and build your confidence to advocate for the right care.
Training for therapists
Training and resources for therapists who work with neurodivergent clients and want more confidence around physical health and neurodivergence.
You deserve a therapist who speaks your language and is not trying to fix who you are
You deserve a therapist who speaks your language and is not trying to fix who you are.
Ongoing work begins with a free 20-minute call, so you can get a sense of whether I am the right fit for you. There is no pressure to continue. I currently have a small number of ongoing spaces open.
Please note: this counselling service is for adults aged 18 and over.
