What ADHD Support Can Help With

Start Your Journey Today
Burnout And Overwhelm

Our support focuses on identifying pressure points, reducing overload, and creating a sustainable pace that can be maintained over time.

Work may include understanding emotional responses, building regulation strategies, and reducing the impact of emotional spikes on work and relationships.

Counselling support can address long-standing beliefs and patterns that affect confidence, self-trust, and decision-making.

Coaching focuses on task initiation, prioritising, planning, and follow-through using systems suited to attention and capacity.

Support can include improving communication skills, setting boundaries, and navigating feedback and expectations in work and personal contexts.

Sessions may focus on recognising early signs of overload and building strategies to reduce pressure and support steadier functioning.

You don’t need a diagnosis or an assessment to start support with us. Many people begin because certain parts of daily life feel harder than they need to, and they want practical help to manage that better. If assessment becomes useful later on, we can talk it through and help you decide whether it’s the right step, without pressure to do it before you’re ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our ADHD coaches work with you on practical areas like personal goals, time management, follow-through, and communication barriers that show up in daily life. Support is structured but flexible, and shaped around how your brain works.

No. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on thoughts, emotions, and behaviour patterns, often in a clinical therapy setting. ADHD coaching is more present-focused and practical. Some clients benefit from both. Therapeutic coaching can draw on elements of counselling while staying focused on day-to-day change.

We work with adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, autism, and AuDHD. This can include autism coaching alongside ADHD support, particularly where executive functioning, communication, and burnout overlap.

Lived-experience coaching means being supported by practitioners who understand neurodivergence from the inside (like our team!), not just through training. It often shows up in active listening, practical insight, and support that feels grounded.

Your support plan is developed collaboratively. We look at what’s getting in the way, what matters to you right now, and what would make life feel more manageable. Plans are adjusted over time as personal goals shift or new challenges come up.

Yes. All sessions are delivered online, making ADHD coaching and counselling accessible across Adelaide and regional South Australia.

Personal Overshare

While I’m not often invited to ‘overshare’, when I do, it can bring up anxiety, mostly because I’ve learned that my openness is sometimes seen as eccentric or ‘too much’. That changes completely in the company of fellow neurodivergent people, where I’ve come to embrace my full, unmasked self. These experiences have shaped my belief that neurodivergence isn’t something to be hidden, but something to be honoured. When I do find myself masking now, it’s less about protection and more about pacing the radiance of neurodivergent brilliance for those who aren’t yet attuned to its full light…!

  • Graduate Diploma in Psychology
  • Masters in Psychological Practice (with Specialisations)

Services offered

Jaime’s fees are from $175 per sessional hour. 

Jaime is available for sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Professional bio

Jaime brings significant professional experience from her previous careers in law and disability case management. 

Jaime chose to leave her role as a lawyer because, although she loved working with her clients, she hated having to literally wear “the mask” (a full face of makeup and power suit) to the office everyday, pretending that she was someone she wasn’t. In addition, some aspects of her work really challenged her personal values, and pushed her to reconsider her direction.

Jaime left law to move into the disability sector – case management, mental health and supporting clients living with complexity. She also volunteered at Lifeline, providing crisis support and counselling. 

Finally having found her calling, she commenced postgraduate studies in psychology. Jaime realised during her final year of her psychology Master’s that there was a reason she had always felt a little different. Of course, it was because she was neurodivergent herself!

Personal Overshare

Jaime is an AuDHDer and has three neurodivergent sons. Jaime understands the stress and heartache of single-handedly supporting your child through meltdowns, communication differences, school avoidance and aggressive behaviours.

When Jaime learned about inattentive ADHD she immediately recognised herself and pursued both autism and ADHD assessment at the recommendation of a psychologist. She thought “I can’t be autistic, I am highly empathic!” (falling prey to the pervasive autistic stereotypes perpetuated in the media).

As it turns out, all those little quirks were in fact autistic traits, which she had masked all the way into her 40s. Those close to her know that she can be an over-sharer who can’t find her phone; has a tendency to repeat herself (which drives her partner up the wall); that she is constantly stimming; has to use energy to maintain eye contact; has sensitivities to noise and lights, and eats the same thing over and over again. Not to mention her formidable experience with the boom-and-bust cycle!

Business Support Coordinator

Qualifications

  • Bachelor of Laws/Commerce

  • Certificate IV in Breastfeeding Education (Counselling)

  • Graduate Certificate in Trade Marks Law & Practice

  • Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice

Professional bio

Reb is currently studying a Master of Social Work (Qualifying) at the University of New England, with a strong interest in Mental Health Social Work.  They bring existing qualifications and experience in counselling with a Certificate IV in Breastfeeding Education (Counselling).  Reb also holds a Bachelor of Laws/Commerce and has worked across various fields in both the legal and mental health sectors.

They began at The Divergent Edge on a student placement, providing both group work and individual sessions, in addition to contributing behind the scenes support to the TDE team.  Reb will continue supporting the processes and procedures that help our clinicians and our clients, and we hope to see more client facing work from Reb in the future.

Reb values a strengths based approach to client support, affirming people’s lived experiences and empowering them to be their authentic self.  Reb is dedicated to neurodivergent affirming and trauma informed practices, believing every individual is the expert in their own lives.

Reb lives and works on the land of the Dharawal people.

Personal Overshare

Reb is still in the process of diagnosing their specific brand of neurospicy, but all signs point to a strong blend of ADHD and Autism as core components.  They are enjoying finding the balance between hyperfocus deep dives into systems user manuals, and dopamine breaks to play the drums and hang the rest of their washing.  Reb has had numerous “oh, is THAT who I am” awakenings throughout their life, and understands the joy, authenticity, grief, and anger that comes from looking forward to what can now be, and looking back to what could have been.

If you’re ever on a video call with Reb you’ll no doubt see a dinosaur or several in the background.

Jonathan is available for sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Professional bio

Jonathan is a Registered Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and Supervisor who incorporates a psychoanalytic approach to his work. This assists to address his clients fixed core beliefs, and examines the role of negative self-talk as it influences both guilt and shame which may promote unhealthy behaviours. He has a particular passion helping people find a healthy balance to life through his holistic approach, exploring the connection between mind, body, spirit and building capacity for healthy relationships. He is interested in both the function of neuroplasticity and complementary therapies to address mental health concerns.

 

Jonathan has specific interests and knowledge in the areas of:

 

  • mental health and complex trauma in adolescents and adults

  • the impact of domestic family violence and family of origin 

  • depression & anxiety

  • ADHD related stress management 

  • building strategies for effective self-care

  • working with emotional awareness, regulation skills and RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria)

  • building assertiveness skills & confidence

  • addictions

  • Neuroscience strategies for gaining focus, combating procrastination, brain fog and more

 

Jonathan is passionate about the integration of neurodivergent perspectives, together with accessible therapy and pragmatic coaching solutions to executive function challenges, to support his clients to be the best version of themselves.

Personal Overshare

Jonathan was diagnosed with combined type ADHD as an adult and (like many neurodivergent humans) highly values “feeling productive”, and channels this into the pursuit of knowledge building, while challenging his existing ideas. He cannot function through dreary admin or cleaning tasks without incessantly playing lofi hip hop or classical music in the background. He loves to read, but being time poor he enjoys podcasts and audiobooks while driving or walking instead.

Jonathan is a father to three children under the age of 10 (….please send help). He rates his wife as “the most supportive”, and finds himself constantly sharing all the things he learns with her at the most inconvenient times. Jonathan also has a talking parrot who you may meet during his sessions. They are working together on his parrot’s impulsive tendencies to interrupt conversations.

Professional bio

Shristi’s fee is $170.50 per sessional hour ($180 from Sept. 1 2025)
*No Medicare rebate available

Shristi is available for sessions on Monday evenings and Thursdays.

Shristi is a neuro-affirming and empowering registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist, with expertise in mental health crisis support through her work at Lifeline. Shristi has an adaptable, calm, person centred approach which facilitates a quick development of therapeutic alliance. She supports her clients in creating their own narrative (or rewriting old ones) through a neurodivergent lens tailored to their brain type. 

Shristi incorporates various compassion-focused techniques and strengths-based therapeutic approaches such as ACT & CFT, and offers practical and insightful strategies to guide clients on their own neurospicy quests. She works within a neurodiversity framework that encourages acceptance and regulation over assimilation and intervention, creating a therapeutic environment where compassion meets empowerment, and uniqueness is celebrated.

Drawing from her personal and professional experiences, she supports clients in uncovering their unique patterns of behaviour, emotions, and thoughts, empowering them to embrace their diversity and find their authentic voice through therapy. 

With a deep understanding of the intersectionality between neurodiversity, feminist perspectives, and cultural identity, Shristi is dedicated to fostering a supportive environment for all.

Shristi has specific interests and knowledge in the areas of:

  • autistic women with ADHD
  • interpersonal boundary management;
  • rejection sensitive dysphoria
  • sensory sensitivities
  • introspection skill development
  • neutralise and reframe language
  • capacity and expectation management
  • self compassion and kindness skill development
  • individualised strategies to support executive function
  • support with establishing and maintaining routines
  • using technology to support wellbeing and function

Personal Overshare

Shristi is a late identified AuDHDer. Her neurodivergent narrative began while pursuing her Master’s degree when her own experiences mirrored those she studied in her research on ‘the psychological well-being of women diagnosed with ADHD as adults’—a moment of irony that fuelled her passion for advocacy and inclusivity.

She takes pride in representing women of colour in the neurodivergent community and understands firsthand the importance of creating inclusive spaces where individuals like her can thrive. Shristi passionately advocates, educates, and navigates a neurotypical world not designed for her neurotype. Her aspiration is for a sensory-safe and neuro-inclusive world where all neurotypes can thrive, not just survive.

When she’s not unravelling the intricacies of the human psyche or guiding clients through their transformative quests, you’ll likely find her immersed in true crime documentaries, pondering over the complexities of the criminal mind—her Forensic Psychology days in the Netherlands fueling her fascination. And when she’s not caffeinating, she’s soaking in sunsets and seeking out sensory-friendly spots to recharge her soul.

LinkedIn profile

Professional bio

Dani is the Founder of The Divergent Edge, which was launched in July 2021.
Dani has been a social worker since 2000 and has experience in diverse fields of practice including case management, counselling, training, supervision and mentoring, service delivery management, leadership, clinical social work and practice development.

Her therapeutic practice is intuitive and person centred, through facilitating the development of an attuned therapeutic space.  This approach develops a safe and affirming core foundation on which to facilitate exploration and personal growth, and examine the relational understanding of self. Dani works holistically from the perspective that everything is connected, so therefore nothing is off limits.

Dani utilises a range of therapeutic modalities and frameworks in her work, including psychotherapeutic therapies,  narrative therapy, ACT,  systems and empowerment / feminist theory. This is used in conjunction with practical suggestions to help ‘get shit done’, with the goal of always retaining her (and your) sense of humour.

Dani has specific knowledge and interest in the areas of:

  • Twice exceptional (2E) gifted adults 
  • Over-functioners, perfectionists and workaholics
  • Developmental and relational trauma in high functioning adults
  • LGBTQI+ affirming
  • Mentoring for self employed business owners
  • Relationship coaching and healing
  • Psychoeducation: lifestyle, mindset and medication
  • How unexplored emotions impact your executive function
  • Coaching strategies to assist you to work with time (not against it); what to do about never-ending to-do lists, and how many things exactly you can reasonably expect to do in a day….. 

Personal Overshare

Dani was diagnosed with ADHD in her 40’s, and then a little later put together the pieces of her 2E identity. This information altered her perspective fundamentally on how she understood herself, her life, her children, and her purpose. She can spot an ADHDer across a crowded room (like a 6th sense) and also via text message (a largely unhelpful skill).

Dani is currently working on a plan to leave the house more so she doesn’t become socially isolated. She works full time in the business while parenting her three ND offspring. She most certainly is a guru at task management, but would rather like a PA. She’s put her next business idea on the backburner due to the unhelpful fact that there are only 24 hours in a day….and she instead is planning on embracing weekends in 2024.
