Counselling
It’s time to share your mental load with someone who will offer you understanding, care and guidance.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burnt out — or just unsure what to do next — you’re not alone.
Life can be messy, unpredictable, and heavy at times.
You don’t need to carry it all by yourself.
At Bright Feathers, I offer counselling for all ages & neurotypes, that’s gentle, practical, and grounded in respect.
💬 I support people navigating:
😔 Big emotions, anxiety, or low mood
👩👧 Parenting stress and challenges
🔄 Difficult life events, burnout or decision fatigue
💔 Trauma, grief and loss
🪞 Low self-esteem or inner criticism
📑 NDIS-related overwhelm (parents or participants)
💼 Feeling misunderstood or unsupported at work, school or home
🧠 Struggles with boundaries, communication or people-pleasing
🌪️ When relationships feel confusing or draining — even with people you care about
🗣 Building confidence to self-advocate in tricky environments
🧠 Neuroaffirming, Not Pathologising
As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent adult and parent of a neurodivergent child, I understand how important it is to feel seen — not labelled or “managed.”
My approach is strengths-based and trauma-informed, grounded in lived experience and clinical training.
I offer a safe space for:
♾️ Autistic and ADHD clients (diagnosed or self-identified)
👪 Parents raising neurodivergent children
🧘 People exploring identity, sensory needs, or emotional regulation
🎭 Adults working through masking, burnout, or late-diagnosis adjustment
A late diagnosis of autism or ADHD can shift everything —
not just how you see yourself today, but how you make sense of your past.
It can bring relief, but also grief: for the child who didn’t get the support or understanding they needed, or the adult who kept trying to “push through” and couldn’t understand why it was so hard.
This space is for untangling that.
Together, we honour what you've been through, explore what this new understanding brings up, and figure out how to move forward with self-trust, clarity, and renewed hope.
🌿 How We Can Work Together
Sessions are available:
🛋️In-person in Merewether on Fridays
📞Online or Phone (Telehealth)
🚶Or even outdoors, with walk-and-talk sessions for those who feel more at ease in nature
I walk alongside you — both emotionally and sometimes quite literally — as we untangle what’s going on and make space for growth, clarity, and peace.
🌈 A Safe Space for All🌻
No matter your background, neurotype, parenting style, or level of chaos — you are welcome here. If you're ready for honest, kind, practical support that meets you where you are, you're in the right place.
