Welcome!
I’m Dani, a Mental Health Counsellor based in Melbourne (VIC) and online Australia-wide. I provide neurodivergent-led, trauma-informed counselling, supporting autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adolescents and adults. My approach is inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming, and collaborative, creating a space to honour your natural rhythms and explore what matters most to you.
As a late-identified autistic and ADHD adult, I bring both lived experience and professional expertise to therapy. Sessions are flexible and client-led, designed to meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels right for you. Counselling services include standard 50-minute sessions, with options for shorter check-ins and extended sessions.
Together we can:
- Identify and celebrate your strengths
- Connect with your identity
- Process late-identification of neurodivergence (formally or self-identified)
- Build confidence, self-worth, and self-advocacy
- Support burnout prevention and recovery, and energy management
- Manage anxiety, overwhelm, and support emotional regulation
- Navigate social, relationship, and workplace challenges
- Identify sensory and environmental supports
- Plan and navigate life transitions and changes
- Support routines and executive functioning
