Hello!​

 

I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) and founder of Cathartic Collaborations. I support neurodivergent and queer individuals through relational and values-aligned professional supervision that honours the fullness of who they are.​

 

I live and work at the intersections of Autism, ADHD, Giftedness, and queerness. This lived experience, alongside my professional training, deeply informs how I show up in my work: with warmth, clarity, creativity, and an unwavering respect for complexity.

​

Who I Work With

 

• Autistic folks and/or ADHDers.

• Twice-exceptional, Multi-exceptional, Gifted, intense, creative, and deep-feeling folks.

• Allied health and human services professionals, such as Social Workers (including AMHSWs), Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, counsellors, coaches, and NDIS providers.

• Organisations, workplaces, and systems seeking to embed neurodivergent affirming practices and create genuinely neuroinclusive environments.

 

Values

​

Living in alignment with my values is deeply important to me, and I strive to embody them in every aspect of my work:​

• Integrity: Being honest, ethical, and transparent

• Equity: Recognising and dismantling systemic injustice

• Wisdom: Integrating theory, practice, and lived experience as valid forms of knowing

• Curiosity: Remaining open, reflective, and growth-oriented

• Compassion: Holding space for both the messiness and magic of being human

​

Practice Framework

​

My work weaves together multiple layers:

​

• Neurodivergent Affirming: Valuing and supporting neurodivergent identities, strengths, and lived experiences.

• Trauma-Informed: Understanding the impact of trauma and working in ways that prioritise safety, choice, and empowerment.

• Neuroqueering: Challenging norms around identity, functioning, and relationships; deconstructing internalised ableism and heteronormativity; centring fluidity and authenticity.

• Systemic & Critical Social Work: Exploring how ableism, capitalism, heteronormativity, and cisnormativity affect wellbeing.

• Multidimensional Human Development: Considering the dynamic and interconnected factors that influence human growth and change.

• Positive Disintegration: Viewing growth and transformation as an ongoing process, often driven by deep, challenging experiences.

• Relational Ethics: Practicing in an attuned and accountable manner. that considers power dynamics

• Existentialism: Navigating purpose, meaning, identity, and the liminal spaces of becoming.
