A Place to be Curious…

I’m Louise, a Queer, Neurodivergent, Therapist, Supervisor and Trainer and I’m passionate about supporting other ND folk to create a life that works for them.

I share about my own experiences as a late diagnosed autistic and what I’ve learnt through my own lived experience of creating a sustainable and balanced life that nourishes me and keeps me out of burnout. As well as what I’ve learnt from my work supporting other neurodivergent folks.

Because I try and practice what I preach, I have given myself permission to write more if I have something to say and less when I need to rest.
