Neurodiverse Affirming Couple Counselling

I offer a tailored service for couples where one or both of the people consulting with me are neurodivergent or questioning their neurotype. To provide a holistic approach to the dynamic you and your partner may be stuck in and to honour lived experience, this is a joint session with my colleague, Dana Kabaila (she/her). Dana is neuro-nonconforming and uses narrative therapy and Jungian Coaching approaches in her practice.

Common areas that come up in relationship contexts include sensory needs, balancing deep focus with roles and responsibilities, rejection sensitivity, demand avoidance, masking/unmasking and burn out. By questioning neuro-conforming assumptions (and internalized ableism), we are better able to co-create safer, more unique relationships, homes, and communities. This service takes place over ninety-minute sessions and can range from one session to multiple sessions depending on your needs and goals. If you’d like to continue with individual counselling or couples counselling that is also an option. You can send me an enquiry if you’d like to discuss this further.I work with folks across all forms of polyamory. From people who open up the relationship as a last effort to fix the connection, to people whose identity is that of a polyamorous person and intrinsic to their sense of self.

I work with relationships to reinforce a sense of security and safety, so that partners can feel secure in a polygamous dynamic. I also help folks have conversations to scaffold their relationship and its boundaries. I sometimes support people to have very high-stake honest conversations leaves partners living more in line with their authentic needs.
