My Story.....
Hi, I’m Donna
Counsellor, ADHD coach, Facilitator, and Community builder.
I am currently working as a Senior Consultant in the Corporate Workplace mental health space.
With over 20 years of experience and a Master’s in Counselling, I support individuals, families, and children navigating trauma, conflict, and neurodivergence. I also have extensive experience working with co-parents involved in the family court system, helping them navigate the complexities of communication and parenting.
Using narrative therapy, I help people separate themselves from the problem and reconnect with their strengths and values.
I run Parenting Through Neurodivergence programs and deliver mental wellbeing and workplace wellbeing programs that support resilient people and thriving teams.
I acknowledge the Quandamooka People of Moreton Bay, the Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander Owners of the land where we gather today and pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging. I recognise their connection to Country and their role in caring for and maintaining Country over thousands of years.
