Work With Diversity Dragons
What to Expect
If you’re here, you may be wondering what support looks like — and whether it’s worth the time and cost.
In this work, conversation is not “nothing happening”.
It’s where clarity begins.
Sessions are reflective, collaborative, and focused on understanding what’s making life hard right now — before rushing to strategies that don’t fit.
What you might be seeing
Many of the families I work with come to me exhausted — not because their child is “misbehaving,” but because their child is holding it together all day and falling apart at home.
You might be experiencing:
a child who copes at school and unravels the moment they get home
perfectionism that leads to avoidance, distress, or emotional collapse
anxiety that shows up as control, worry, or constant reassurance-seeking
disorganisation that escalates into overwhelm or conflict at home
impulsivity that spikes when your child is tired or overloaded
sensory overload that turns into shutdowns or explosions
rigid, black-and-white thinking or panic when plans change
If this is your reality, you’re not alone — and you’re not doing anything wrong.
These patterns often overlap — and they often intensify when a child is exhausted from masking or holding themselves together all day.
How I Can help
Practical, Real life Strategies
Before strategies, goals, or expectations, we focus on down-regulating the nervous system — yours and your child’s.
This work helps families:
understand why meltdowns and overwhelm are happening
reduce sensory and emotional load, especially after school
respond in ways that support regulation rather than escalate
support flexibility and regulation without shaming, forcing, or suppressing
move out of survival mode and into steadier ground
This isn’t about fixing your child or teaching compliance.
It’s about creating safety first, so growth and connection can happen.
What this looks like in practice
Depending on your family, this may involve:
identifying what’s overloading your child’s system right now
adjusting the environment, timing, or expectations
learning regulation tools that actually fit your child’s neurotype
supporting you as a parent so you’re not carrying this alone
help navigating sibling dynamics
Many parents tell me:
“I finally understand what’s going on — and what can help in the moment.”
That clarity matters.
You don’t need a diagnosis to start here
I work with families and adults who are:
navigating autism, ADHD, PDA, giftedness, or multiple diagnoses
newly diagnosed and overwhelmed
still exploring what fits, without wanting labels to define their experience
You don’t need the right words yet.
We start with what’s happening — and build understanding from there.
“If you recognised yourself above, this is the place to begin.”
Start Here: Initial Parent Consult
$200
90 minutes
If things feel hard right now, this is the best place to start.
The Initial Parent Consult is designed for families who are overwhelmed, unsure what to try next, or needing support to stabilise things at home before anything else.
This first session is a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and decide next steps together — without pressure.
This session is focused on:
understanding your child and family context
clarifying what feels hardest right now
making sense of competing advice or expectations
Sometimes clarity itself is the most important outcome.

Dragon Mapping Session
$300
Delivered across two conversations (30 + 60 mins)
A structured, sense-making process using the Dragon Atlas framework to help you see the whole picture.
This session may be helpful if you want to:
make sense of complex or confusing challenges
understand patterns across regulation, behaviour, and environment
develop shared language you can use with family, school, or allied health
move forward without reducing anyone to a label
This process is reflective, not diagnostic, and nothing is rushed or forced.

Support Sessions
$150
60 mins
Support for integration, regulation, advocacy, and practical next steps. Available to parents, teens and adults.
These sessions may involve:
refining regulation strategies and tools
supporting children and adults through transitions or school stress
preparing for meetings, IEPs, or planning conversations
revisiting the map as contexts or needs change
Sessions may involve parents, children, or both — depending on age and readiness.

Working with parents, children, and allied health
Many families begin with a parent consult to make sense of what’s happening.
From there, a Dragon Mapping session may be helpful — either focused on the child, the parent, or the parent–child dynamic, depending on age and context.
Where appropriate, a written Dragon Mapping summary can be provided to support collaboration with allied health professionals (such as psychologists, occupational therapists, or school staff).
This summary:
is not a diagnostic or therapeutic report
does not prescribe treatment
reflects observed and reported patterns across regulation, environment, and load
It is intended to support shared understanding and reduce the need for families to repeatedly explain their child’s experience.
Ongoing child or family sessions may support integration, meaning-making, and regulation — while therapeutic intervention remains with allied health.
This work is not crisis care or a substitute for therapy where that is needed.
“Growth then, is not the process of becoming someone else. It is the process of learning how to balance yourself through life”
Commonly Asked Questions
-
No.
This work does not require a diagnosis, referral, or formal assessment.Many people come because something feels hard, confusing, or out of alignment — whether or not they have a label. The focus is on understanding patterns, pressures, strengths, and context, rather than fitting anyone into a diagnostic category.
-
No — this is reflective, integrative support, not therapy.
I do not provide diagnosis, clinical treatment, or therapeutic intervention.
This work sits alongside allied health, education, and family systems, supporting understanding, regulation, meaning-making, and advocacy.Where families are already working with psychologists, occupational therapists, or schools, this work often helps create shared language and clarity.
-
At this stage, sessions are not Medicare-rebated and cannot be claimed through private health funds.
This work is offered as private, neuroaffirming support rather than a registered clinical service.
Invoices are provided for your records, but rebates are not currently available. -
I’m aware that access to support isn’t evenly distributed, and I don’t want cost alone to be a barrier for families or individuals who genuinely need help.
If you hold a Healthcare Card, Pension Card, are NDIS-funded, or are experiencing financial hardship, you’re welcome to reach out before booking to discuss whether an alternative arrangement is possible.
I can’t offer reduced fees in all cases, but I’m open to thoughtful conversations where support is needed. I keep a small amount of flexibility for families and individuals who need it.
-
I work with:
parents and caregivers
children and teens
adults reflecting on neurodivergence later in life
late diagnosed individuals
families
Sessions may involve parents, children, adults, or a combination — depending on age, needs, and context. I don’t have a strict age limit, so reach out and discuss your context.
If you’re unsure where to start, the Initial Parent Consult or a Support Session is usually the best first step — and we can decide together what makes sense from there.
