Professional Biography
I’m Linda, and I work alongside Autistic adults with intersecting experiences of complex trauma, disability, and neurodivergence, including those who have experienced institutional harm. I am a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor and the founder of Neurokindred, an online peer support community for Autistic adults healing and weaving wellbeing together.
I am an AuDHDer with lived experience of complex trauma (C-PTSD), and this informs the way I understand, attune to, and work alongside the people I support.
My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in honouring and working with your unique neurodivergent neurology and nervous system. I support people to rediscover authentic ways of being and reconnect with lost parts of self and the body. The counselling relationship itself becomes a space where this can unfold safely and at your own pace.
I understand that many people have lived through long histories of misattunement, misunderstanding, or not being believed, and I hold this context with care.
There is something inherently healing about connecting with neurokin. Seeing and feeling your experience reflected in another, being heard, receiving validation, and experiencing shared understanding—these are unique and often rare experiences after a lifetime of disconnection.
Sessions are collaborative and guided by your needs and capacity. There is no expectation to disclose more than feels safe, and we can slow down, pause, or shift focus at any time. If additional or specialised supports are needed, I can assist with referrals while maintaining continuity of care.
I draw on an integrative, trauma-informed approach including parts work, narrative therapy, psychoeducation, and body-based awareness, and engage in ongoing supervision and professional development to support safe and responsive practice.
Sessions are offered online, with options including Zoom, phone, and text-based counselling. There is no requirement to have your camera on, and we can adapt the way we work together in response to your capacity on the day.
I am here to hold space for you and hear your story, your way.
