Mental Health & Neurodivergent Counselling 

Homepage, hero to UNFOLD

You've been managing for a long time, and doing it well enough that most people have no idea what it's actually costing you.

Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you're just done. Maybe you're not sure what you're looking for, only that what you've been doing isn't working anymore, and pretending otherwise stopped being worth it.

I am really glad you found your way here.

Find your starting point
Late-identified neurodivergent women

You spent years being told you were too much, too sensitive, or just broken, long before you had the language to explain why. Now you're looking back at your whole life through that lens, and it isn't always relief.

Counselling that starts with what living without that information actually cost you, not a checklist of traits.

Parents of neurodivergent children

Your day is built around anticipating what your child needs before they can tell you. There's rarely anything left over for you at the end of it.

Support for the parent holding it together, not just strategies for the child.

Neurodivergent Relationships

One of you needs to talk it through immediately. The other needs to disappear for a while first. Neither of those is the problem, but most relationship advice assumes you'll both process conflict the same way.

A way of working that makes room for both of your neurotypes, not just the one that's easier to accommodate.

The UNFOLD™ approach

Listening to the body. Living with care.

Relational
because change happens in connection, not in isolation

Somatic
because your body holds information your mind hasn't caught up to yet

Creative
because understanding doesn't always arrive through words alone

Understanding
because naming what's happening comes before anything else

Sustainability
because support only works if it fits into a life, not around it

Homepage, meet Dezire

I'm Dezire. I work from lived experience as an AuDHD woman as much as from formal training, and my own path to diagnosis, and to building a life and family around it, shapes how I work with every person who finds their way here.

How we can work together

Telehealth

Telehealth

Support that comes to you, not the other way around. Sessions run from wherever you have privacy and a stable connection, anywhere in Australia.

Good for capacity that doesn't stretch to travel, for regional and remote clients, or for anyone who thinks better in their own space.

Walk and talk

Walk and talk

Some conversations land differently when you're moving side by side rather than face to face. Sessions are held outdoors in Perth, at a pace that suits your body that day.

Good for people who process more easily with their hands and feet busy, or out in nature.

Text based support

Some things are easier to write than to say. Sessions are held in writing, through secure chat in your client portal, at a pace that suits your capacity that day.

Good for people who lose their words out loud, or find them more easily on a screen. Available to existing and past clients.

Free resources

Free resources

Tools, guides, and self-paced practices, built from the same UNFOLD™ approach I use in session. No booking required, just a quick email sign up. Some resources are also woven through my articles and blog.

Good for a starting point, for support between sessions, or for anyone not ready for counselling yet.
