neurodivergent parenting support

Parenting a neurodivergent child can be one of the most meaningful and overwhelming experiences of your life.
It can stretch your nervous system, your identity, and your sense of self in ways you never expected.

You may be:

• Constantly advocating and still feeling unheard
• Exhausted from managing appointments, school systems, and daily regulation
• Grieving the life you once imagined, while fiercely loving the one you’re living
• Dysregulated yourself while trying to support a dysregulated child
• Carrying guilt, resentment, pride, fear, and love all at the same time

None of this means you’re failing.
It means you’re human... and you’ve been carrying a lot.

This space is not about correcting behaviour, enforcing compliance, or pathologizing your child.

My work focuses on you... the parent behind the advocacy, the appointments, the explanations, and the endless holding it together.

Because when your nervous system is supported:

• You gain more capacity
• You respond with more steadiness (not perfection)
• You feel less alone in the weight you’re carrying

And that matters for you and your family.

I come to this work not only as a professional counsellor, but as a mother of neurodivergent children.

I understand:

• The exhaustion that doesn’t go away with rest
• The grief that isn’t linear or easy to name
• The anger and heartbreak that can coexist with deep love
• What it’s like to navigate systems that were never built with your child... or you in mind

This lived experience shapes how I show up:

• With compassion, not judgment
• With curiosity, not assumptions
• With respect for your intuition as a parent

You don’t need to prove anything here.

Every family is different, and our work is always guided by your needs. Support may include:

• Parenting while managing chronic stress and nervous system overload
• Emotional regulation for parents of neurodivergent children
• Advocacy fatigue and burnout
• Grief, loss, and identity shifts
• Parenting through your own trauma history
• Reducing shame and self-blame
• Building capacity, not perfection

There is no pressure to “do it right.”
We move at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

Supporting the nervous system of the parent — because you matter too.

Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re already giving so much to others.

If you’re unsure where to start, that’s okay.
You don’t need the right words, just a willingness to begin.

You don’t have to carry this alone.
