individual therapy

We offer telehealth mental health support for those experiencing
depression, anxiety, Autism, ADHD, developmental differences,
self-esteem, self-compassion and emotional regulation challenges,
and other mental health struggles.


Here is some more information about the approaches we specialise in:​

neurodivergent
affirming therapy

As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent person herself, our therapist Shelley understands the unique skills and the unique challenges that come with this.

We aren't interested in 'fixing' you – because you're not broken! We want to support you to work with your brain, identify its strengths and accommodate its needs with neurodivergent-friendly psychological strategies and supports.

We provide a space free of judgement and shame where you can be yourself, have your lived experience acknowledged and valued, understand that you are not alone and learn to thrive in day-to-day life with reduced stress and overwhelm.

LGBTQIA+
affirming therapy

Led by a proud queer therapist, Diverse & Thriving wholeheartedly embraces and supports the LGBTQIA+ community.

We understand and acknowledge the challenges of living in a heteronormative and cisnormative society, including the experiences of homophobia, transphobia, exploring your identity, navigating the 'coming out' experience, workplace issues and complex family relationships.

 

We affirm who you are, wherever you may be on your journey, and we support and accept relationships and families of all forms.

parent support

If you want to support your child who is LGBTQIA+ but are feeling overwhelmed or unsure of how to do that, we would love to provide a safe space for you navigate this experience.

If you are a parent of a neurodivergent child or a neurodivergent person yourself who needs help with the overwhelming demands of parenting, we would love to provide you with tailored support to help you and your children thrive.

 

We understand that you know your family best and we seek to validate your lived experience and work with you to develop neurodivergent-friendly parenting strategies, maintain and prioritise your wellbeing in balance with looking after your children, navigate advocating for your family within systems and communities, reframe unhelpful perspectives on neurodivergence and create a healthy and fulfilling family life.

Career & vocational coaching

Our career and vocational coaching services are tailored to help you achieve your professional and/or study goals.

We understand that there can be many hurdles between you and the fulfilling career you desire, but you don't have to face these alone.

Whether you need help clarifying your direction and goals, job searching, boosting your confidence and reducing imposter syndrome, creating organisational strategies that suit your unique brain, seeking support or accommodations, or prepping for an upcoming interview, we would be honoured to help. All workplaces benefit from diversity and therefore we bring our affirming approach to this coaching as well.
