Friendship can be medicine.

Especially for Autistic/ADHD adults who have only ever been the strong one, the steady one, the helper, the regulator.

My flock see me clearly, gently, without effort.

And honestly?

That kind of seeing is rare - and healing.

Community care isn’t an optional extra.

It’s essential.

💬 Who gets to see the unmasked version of you?

09/01/2026

Because healing isn’t about doing more - it’s about doing what your nervous system can hold.

This way of thinking is the foundation of the membership I’m opening in February - a professional home built for nervous systems like ours.

I’m sitting here staring at the “publish” button like it personally offended me.

Because this website?
It was meant to be live last year.
It was meant to be *perfect*.

Every page exactly as I imagined it in my head… which is extra trifficult when you have aphantasia and cannot, in fact, imagine it in your head.

So here’s what actually happened instead.

Life. Health. Capacity limits.
And a slow realisation that waiting for “finished” was quietly turning into hiding.

Lately I’ve been practising radical acceptance in real time.
*Well at least giving it a good go*

"Good enough" to preserve capacity.
"Good enough" to let things exist, even if they're not *perfect*.
"Good enough" to stop hoarding ideas for a future version of me with unlimited energy.

So the new website is live *yayyyyy*

It might feel a bit clunky in places.
There’s still heaps I want to refine.
Some bits will evolve. Some bits will probably annoy me later.

And that’s okay.

Because it’s out.
It’s (mostly) usable.
It’s a starting point instead of a secret draft.

If you’d like to take a look, I’d genuinely love your feedback - especially if something feels confusing, missing, or could be more accessible for your brain.

Here it is:

This is me choosing momentum over perfection.

And trusting that building things with the community beats polishing them alone in the dark.

It took me far too long to realise that being a therapist doesn’t mean abandoning my humanity.

You can’t offer co-regulation if you’re dysregulated.

You can’t offer presence if you’re in survival mode.

You can’t offer containment if your own capacity is on fire.

Your body gets a say in your practice.

This is the heart of my membership.

Not hustle.

Not perfection.

Not performance.

Just safety.

I’d love to see you inside.

Transitions aren’t a motivation problem.

For Autistic and ADHD nervous systems, they’re full-body recalibrations.

You’re shifting mental gears, re-orienting sensory input, carrying emotional residue, predicting new demands, and navigating time-blindness.

All at once.

That pause? That freeze?

It’s not avoidance. It’s processing.

This is why ND-friendly schedules, pacing, and predictability matter - in therapy rooms, classrooms, workplaces, and homes.

Transitions don’t need pushing.
They need support.

Inside A Practice Built Just For You, we design environments that work with ND nervous systems, not against them.

Last year there were moments where I sat in my car after a full day of sessions, holding the steering wheel, fully aware I needed to drive home…
and nothing happened.

My brain said, “Go.”

My body said, “Absolutely not.”

And honestly? My body was right.

Autistic burnout doesn’t knock politely.

It arrives through shutdowns, silent refusals, and nervous system protest.

That moment was one of the reasons I’m rebuilding my practice this year - around capacity, not performance.

💬 Has your body ever told you the truth before your brain did?

January hits different when you’re Neurodivergent.

Everyone else is sprinting into resolutions while your nervous system is still lying face-down in a pile of Squishmallows whispering,

“One moment please…”

As we move toward the new year -

You don’t need transformation.

You need fit.

Fit between energy and expectation.

Fit between capacity and demands.

Fit between who you are and the world you’re navigating.

If your New Year energy is quiet, gentle, reluctant, or slow -
welcome. You’re doing it right.

💬 What’s one thing you’re not forcing in 2026?

31/12/2025

If anyone sees me on the dancefloor tonight.

No you didn't 😆

Also.
I'll probably be asleep 😴
Or hiding from the outside world.

Also.
I'll definitely be dancing 💃 ☺️ 😆
Probably exactly like this.

30/12/2025

When school holidays highlight how overwhelming you find visual clutter.

And that your house no longer contains executive functioning 😆

Send help if you don't hear from me - I may be under all of the chaos!! 😆

This year was big.

You don’t have to review the year to prove you’ve grown.

You don’t need a reinvention arc - just a moment to breathe.

And if you want a softer, steadier professional year:
👉 Founding Member spots are open for my membership 'A Practice Built Just For You.'

My brain experiences a mighty internal battle when my deep interests are involved 😆

I may already be writing a list of all the lego I intend to buy in the new botanicals release 😆

Can anyone else relate?

No?

Just me?
