Hi! I'm Dani, a PACFA registered Mental Health Counsellor 🍀

​

​Reaching out for support isn’t always easy — so thank you for being here. If you’re looking for a safe, open, and non-judgmental space to talk things through, navigate life’s challenges, and better understand yourself, I’m here to support you. Here are some of the areas we can explore together:

​​

Neuro-affirming support for Autistic and ADHD adults — formally or self-identified

I work collaboratively with Autistic and ADHD adults using a strengths-based, neuro-affirming approach. If you’re a late-identified Autistic and/or ADHD adult, we can work together to deepen your sense of self and connection to your identity, explore what unmasking means for you, and clarify your needs. Together, we’ll build greater self-understanding and create a life that feels authentic and sustainable. We’ll also identify your strengths, boundaries, and accommodations in ways that honour who you are.

​​

Anxiety Management

I can support you in managing generalised anxiety, social anxiety, and anxiety in relationships. This might include constant worry, overthinking, difficulty sleeping or ‘switching off,’ fear of embarrassment or humiliation, avoiding social situations, or anxiety affecting your relationships. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your anxiety and develop strategies to help you feel more grounded and connected.

​​​

Relationship with Yourself and Others

You might find yourself people-pleasing, struggling to set or maintain boundaries, or holding yourself to impossibly high standards. Together, we can build your self-worth, strengthen self-compassion and self-awareness, boost your confidence, and develop self-care practices aligned with your needs.

​

Emotional Wellbeing

Do you find it difficult to regulate your emotions? Experience mood swings, overwhelming feelings, or sometimes feel disconnected from your emotions? We’ll explore ways to identify and become more comfortable with your emotions, express them authentically, and develop supportive coping strategies.​​​​​​
