📦 Brisbane → Port Macquarie: Leg 1 Complete!

Today marks the end of an era — my beloved West End home has been packed up and emptied, ready for the next chapter.

As I prepare to relocate for my new role as Senior Lecturer and Course Director in Psychology at Charles Sturt University, this first leg of the move feels both surreal and symbolic. So many memories, milestones, and moments were made here — and now it’s time to carry them with me as I step into a new chapter.

Next stop: Port Macquarie 🌊

📣 New Chapter Incoming!

I’m excited to share that I’ve accepted a new role as Senior Lecturer and Undergraduate Course Director in Psychology at Charles Sturt University 🎓

This opportunity allows me to combine two of my passions: training the next generation of psychologists and continuing to support the community through meaningful research in mental health.

📍 I’ll be relocating to Port Macquarie early August to take up the position - but I’m still here for you, Brisbane!

🗓️ In July, I have Saturday appointments available for psychological therapy and assessments (online or in-person). If you’re a current or previous client - or have been thinking of reaching out - now is the time to book in.

💻 From August onward, I’ll continue offering telehealth sessions on Saturdays via Joyce Vromen Psychology.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey 💛

✨ Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

In the chaos of daily life, taking just a few moments for yourself can be a powerful act of reclaiming your balance. Whether it’s a warm cup of tea, a deep breath, or ten minutes of quiet, it all counts.

This is your gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and care for you. 💛

💚 Parenting a neurodivergent child in a neurotypical world can be deeply meaningful - but also profoundly exhausting.

Between advocacy, appointments, meltdowns, and invisible labor, many parents are running on empty. And yet, their own wellbeing is often the last thing anyone asks about.

That’s why I created the Parental Wellbeing Checklist - a simple, research-informed tool to help parents reflect on their own wellbeing across 3 key domains:

1️⃣ Advocating for your child
2️⃣ Strengthening family dynamics
3️⃣ Engaging with community

This tool isn’t about judgment. It’s about recognition and support.
Because when parents thrive, their children are more likely to thrive too.

Let’s start treating parental wellbeing as essential - not optional.

🔍 Burnout in neurodivergent women is often overlooked and under-supported.

Many of the women I work with are high-achieving, deeply caring, and utterly exhausted.

They don’t always look burned out on the outside - but inside, they’re running on empty.

To support clearer self-awareness and early intervention, I’ve developed the Neurodivergent Burnout Questionnaire - a free tool that helps women reflect across six key domains:

1️⃣ Emotional Exhaustion
2️⃣ Sensory Overwhelm
3️⃣ Executive Functioning Fatigue
4️⃣ Social Withdrawal
5️⃣ Cynicism About Coping
6️⃣ Loss of Joy in Interests

Whether you're exploring your own experience or supporting others, this tool offers a structured way to notice what’s going on, before it becomes a crisis.

📩 To access the full PDF, email me at admin@joycevromen.com.

Let’s stop normalising survival mode and start building systems that support thriving.

From Screaming to Beaming ✨

Being a neurodivergent woman in a world that wasn’t built for your brain can often feel like living in a constant state of overwhelm. The masking. The meltdowns. The why is this so hard when I’m trying so damn hard?

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

When we work together, we follow my proven, iterative 3-step method:

1️⃣ Profile – Understand your unique neurotype, strenghts, and limitations
2️⃣ Plan – Create supports that actually fit you
3️⃣ Practice – Build confidence and capacity, step by step

This approach isn’t about fixing you. It’s about freeing you!

💬 “I finally feel like I can be me — I am not broken, not too much. I feel… understood and supported.”

✨ What helps autistic women get diagnosed sooner?

We talk a lot about barriers—but what actually works?

🧠 According to Bhargavi & Ashwin (2025), there are two key facilitators:

1️⃣ Acknowledging heterogeneity – Recognising how autism can show up differently in women
2️⃣ Systemic integration – Joined-up services that identify and support neurodivergence early

Diagnosis shouldn’t rely on luck or constant self-advocacy. It should be built into the system.

🎥 I break it down in this short → link here:

Let’s create systems that see neurodivergent women—without making them fight to be seen.

🌟 It’s not just you.

Parenting a neurodivergent child can feel overwhelming - but it doesn’t have to stay that way!

I help parents move from chaos to confidence and calm using a 3-stage, science-based process grounded in current research and family systems thinking.
(Based on 2024 articles in Frontiers in Psychiatry.)

✨ My approach focuses on:
1️⃣ Child – understanding their needs & strengths
2️⃣ Family – building connection, reducing stress
3️⃣ Community – navigating systems & advocacy

Because thriving as a parent isn’t just possible—it’s necessary.
You don’t have to do it alone 💛
