Hello,
I’m Katy, a parenting coach, counsellor & play therapist who also has ADHD. My deep interest in working with neuro-spicy families stems from my own experiences with raising a family and working in the childcare field. I was always drawn to the kiddos who had typical behavioural challenges or were either ASD or ADHD. These kiddos spoke a different language through their behaviour, and I found myself being able to interpret that language easily. I was to learn why this was the case when I was diagnosed with ADHD at 54. This diagnosis exposed me to a greater understanding of what was behind many of my life’s challenges from being a child through to adulthood. So many ah-ha moments, and with this diagnosis, along with understanding childhood trauma, all the dots were finally joined.

Life is a funny thing. Just when I was finding my feet in this new role as a counsellor and life coach, I found myself being gently guided back to my roots of working with families that have a few extra challenges with their kiddos. I have always enjoyed being a support resource for families, and it is rooted back in the days when I was a childcare educator and director.

As a professional with ADHD who went undiagnosed for 54 years, I am passionate about helping families with neuro-spicy kiddos and/or parents. It doesn't have to be difficult, and I know that with the right support, it is possible to find the calm in the chaos.
