Walking on eggshells in your relationship
Walking on eggshells can happen to any couple if there is unresolved conflict between them. They will both try to avoid contact with each other if they believe that a solution cannot be found.
Neuro Diversity and Relationships
Designing neurodiverse affirming workplaces
Neurodivergent people are everywhere. In every sector, every discipline, at every level of seniority. Many of the world’s most creative thinkers, analysts, designers, leaders, and problem-solvers are ND. So it is not a question of how to “fit” ND people into the workplace. They’re already shaping it. The question is how to increase the comfort and reduce the friction felt by ND people in the workplace.
Reframing the conversation around neurodivergence
ND lives have been framed in terms of difficulty, disruption or “special needs”. Yet in my therapy room, I see something very different. I see creative problem-solving, emotional depth, humour, originality, sensitivity, and a capacity for innovation that often outpaces the systems around them.
Neurodivergence, empathy and intimacy

Do neurodivergent couples need a neurodivergent therapist?
Recently someone asked me if I was neurodivergent. They asked because they weren’t sure they wanted to work with a therapist who was Neurotypical.
It’s a notion I bump into now and then… and it always gives me pause.
Social expectations in a neurodiverse relationship
One of the key questions about neurodivergence I hear in the couples space is, “Can neurodivergent people be social?” The answer is, yes. However, the way NDs socialise, and the energy it takes, can look different from neurotypical social expectations.
