Service Description

I offer couples therapy for neurodivergent partners. Perhaps one of you has been diagnosed for Autism or ADHD, or maybe either, or both of you, may suspect you are neurodivergent. As a neurodivergent psychotherapist with professional certifications both in ADHD and Couples Counselling, I am passionate about this area of therapy. From a personal and professional perspective, I believe that the negative issues within neurodivergent partnerships arise from sensory and emotional overwhelm for both people. This sensory dysregulation is due to a combination of : dislike of the current environment, overwhelm due to fatigue and stress, hurt feelings due to RSD( Rejection Sensitivity Disorder), a high sense of justice, or simply a need to be right. This adds up to constant bickering or larger disagreements. Most arguments within neurodivergent couples arise from poor timing. One, or both, is dysregulated due to a combination of the list above .The prefrontal cortex has shut down for the overwhelmed person and no good will arise from this argument. My method is to help the couple talk openly about how their arguments or constant bickering begin. We can make a connection between their dysregulation and their unmet neurodivergent needs within the relationship. Ideally, through my therapy, the couple can build awareness of both their own, and their partner's, symptoms of overwhelm. I recommend a minimum of 3 and maximum of 6 sessions.
