Paths with Purpose

Paths with Purpose AuDHD Counselling Social Worker supporting ADHD & AuDHD women (burnout, shame, perimenopause, PMDD, hormones, health challenges). Book a session with me today.

I provide mental health counselling for women with:

- fertility grief and loss
- hormonal conditions such as PMDD, PMS or perimenopause
- challenges or mental health concerns related to ADHD, AuDHD and autism

I will provide you with a safe space to express your feelings and frustrations, and teach you strategies to navigate your changing emotions and behaviors, rather than trying to change who you are. I will work with you to help you to feel balanced, and better able to cope and communicate your needs, despite sometimes feeling lost, misunderstood, or out of control. My own lived experience with similar conditions means that I truly understand how this can impact so many areas of your life, and how exhausting it can be to put on a ‘happy face’ all the time. I offer flexible online sessions to women all across Australia, no matter where you live, or how you may be feeling. Because you deserve to feel heard and supported. I understand and I am here to help you. Still want to know a bit more about me? Here are some podcast episodes where I have been interviewed about my work and experience. https://youtu.be/IenbfgPK_yI

***Announcement***

Due to some overlapping considerations with Karise’s current academic research, she is required to adjust her November webinar topic from "ADHD & Masking in Adult Women" to "Hormones, PMDD & Perimenopause in ADHD Women."

While we understand this represents a change from what was originally promoted, we are excited to share that this new topic addresses another critically important and under-discussed area affecting ADHD women. Many women with ADHD experience unique challenges related to hormonal fluctuations throughout their menstrual cycles and life stages, yet this intersection rarely receives the attention it deserves.

In this revised webinar, we'll explore:
• How hormonal changes uniquely impact ADHD symptoms
• Understanding PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) in the context of ADHD
• Navigating perimenopause as an ADHD woman
• Practical strategies for managing symptoms and challenges across hormonal cycles
All webinar details (date, time, access information) remain exactly the same.

Karise sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this change may cause and we appreciate your understanding. We believe this topic will provide valuable insights for our community, and Karise is excited to sharing this important information with you.

Hormones, PMDD & Perimenopause in ADHD Women: Understanding the Hidden Connections
Are hormonal changes making your ADHD feel impossible to manage?

Join us for this essential webinar exploring the complex relationship between hormones and ADHD in women – a topic that's finally getting the attention it deserves.
Many ADHD women notice challenges and strengths fluctuate dramatically throughout their menstrual cycle, with some experiencing severe mood and attention changes that go beyond typical ADHD challenges. Others find perimenopause brings unexpected intensification of difficulties they thought they had under control.
In this comprehensive session, you'll discover:
✓ Why ADHD challenges can worsen during certain phases of your cycle
✓ The connection between PMDD and ADHD – and why they're often misunderstood
✓ How perimenopause uniquely affects ADHD women
✓ Evidence-based strategies for managing ADHD fluctuations
✓ When to seek additional support and what treatments may help
✓ Practical tools for tracking and predicting your patterns
Perfect for:
• Women with ADHD experiencing cyclical changes
• Those wondering if hormones are impacting their ADHD management
• Women entering perimenopause with ADHD
• Partners, family members, and healthcare providers seeking to understand these connections

This isn't just about managing symptoms – it's about understanding your body, validating your experiences, and finding practical solutions that honor both your ADHD brain and your hormonal health.

📚Free Autism Webinar: How We Talk About It

Ever feel unsure about the 'right' way to talk about autism?

Join Belongside Families for this free webinar with me. We’ll unpack how language shapes our understanding of autism and why the words we choose matter.

In this 45-minute session, we’ll explore::

🔸 The shift from person-first to identity-first language
🔸What ‘neuro-affirming’ actually means
🔸Why functioning labels don’t tell the whole story
🔸Reframing traditional advice with a fresh, neuro-affirming view

It's a little bit of education, a little bit of community, and a fresh perspective that will help guide parents and caregivers in understanding current Autism narratives with a neuroaffirming lens. It's ideal for those people who are newer to the paradigm and would like to be engaged in these conversations.

Join me!
