Hi, I’m Amelia

I’m a qualified counsellor & speech pathologist, supporting neurodivergent clients in Sydney and online. Whether you’re diagnosed, self-identifying or exploring, you’re welcome here.

I know you have so much inside of you, but...

you struggle to get it out

you speak, but don't feel heard

you’re tired of masking just to fit in

you’re often unsure you said ‘the right thing’

you fear being too much or not enough

conversations make you either shut down or over-explain

you fear abandonment, rejection or being smothered

you rehearse what to say, but it still comes out wrong

you’re worried people will judge you if you say what you really mean

You deserve to be heard. You deserve to feel safe in your own voice. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

How is Neurodiversity-affirming counselling and speech therapy different from regular therapy?

Traditional Therapy:

Often frames neurodivergent traits as “problems” to be eliminated.

May focus on training you to “act neurotypical” — teaching you to perform certain behaviours without regarding your comfort, consent or natural needs.

Can feel rigid or one-size-fits-all, using outdated or compliance-based methods that may overlook your strengths, communication style, and sensory needs.

Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy:

I see your neurodivergent brain as valid, never trying to normalise you at the expense of your authenticity.

In this space, you are not asked to mask or fit into norms that were never made for you. You are met with deep respect, just as you are.

I’ll provide a flexible and safe space that adapts to you. I do not use behaviour-based methods. It is spacious, grounding and deeply attuned to who you are.

Meet Amelia

Qualified Counsellor & Speech Pathologist. I know what it feels like to have so much inside and struggle to get it out. To speak and not feel heard. To leave conversations feeling misunderstood. I understand the ache of wanting to connect, but feeling like something keeps getting in the way - a fog, a freeze, a fear of being too much or not enough. I spent my early career as a speech pathologist, which I love and continue to do to this day, but I began to realise: I could help people speak- but were they being heard? I could help people shape sentences- but did they feel safe enough to express what truly mattered? This led me to train in other modalities- in counselling and body-based practices- not instead of speech therapy, but as a way to complete the picture in a more holistic way.
