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 or Dana an enquiry if you’d like to discuss this further.

This particular offering of having both Dana and myself in the room is great for neurodiverse couples wanting to get maximum impact in a short number of sessions. Unlike traditional couples counselling, where I would focus on the couple and treat neurodiversity as part of their relational pattern. This offering focusses more on neurodiversity, it includes more psychoeducation and works to undo assumptions and bias's that exist because of the neurotypical systems we have to live in.
