Relationship counselling
I work with couples / relationships where one or both people have ADHD or Autism. Often what can look like a communication problem on the surface is something a bit more complex. Things like sensory overwhelm, or a deep sensitivity to feeling criticized can quietly shape how safe each person feels in the relationship. One partner might shut down; the other might feel like they're always walking on eggshells. Neither person is trying to hurt the other, but the misunderstandings can pile up. Together, we slow down the cycle, learn how each of you communicates and what you each need, then build ways of connecting that actually work for both of your brains. So you can start to feel more like a team again.
I welcome all relationship structures — monogamous, non-monogamous, polyamorous, and those on the aromantic or asexual spectrum. I also work with people navigating difficult dynamics with friends or family.
Because this work asks us to slow down and really look at what's going on underneath, I encourage 75-minute sessions for the first session as it gives us enough time to get there without feeling rushed.
