4x2hr Unmasking Spaces for Late-Diagnosed Neurodivergent Women.
Available spots
Service Description
If you received your neurodivergent diagnosis (or self-identification) later in life, you likely know the exact weight of a lifetime of masking. Decades of over-explaining, hyper-verbalising, and adapting your nervous system to a world that feels too loud can leave you with a profound, bone-deep exhaustion. Traditional talk therapy can sometimes feel like just another space where you have to use your words, perform, or get things "right." This is different. This is a space where nothing is demanded of you. We invite you to Chandler for a quiet, deeply respectful, and story-free afternoon. There is no sharing of trauma, no group discussions, and absolutely no requirement to explain your existence. Instead, you are invited to simply exist in parallel safety alongside three other women and our herd. What your afternoon looks like: • Your Own Sanctuary Pod: Sink into a comfortable Adirondack chair right by the fence line, wrapped in a warm blanket with your choice of a hot or cold drink. • Gentle Somatic Anchoring: We begin with a brief, zero-pressure nervous system regulation skill to help your body land in the space. • Creative and Sensory Exploration: A curated selection of raw, tactile materials (charcoal, clay, soft paper) will be by your side. There is no expected product - only space to doodle, sketch, or stim freely (range of sensory tools available). • Radical, Restful Presence: The rest of your time is entirely yours. Watch the herd graze, track the movement of the trees, and let your nervous system co-regulate with the steady, predictable sound of the horses tearing and chewing grass. This is a micro-cohort capped at a maximum of 4 participants to ensure total physical and sensory peace. We sit outside the paddock, allowing you to negotiate your proximity to the animals with complete agency and felt safety. No expectations. No masking. Just permission to rest. In future sessions, gentle invitations will be offered to become curious about your sensory experiences, and how resourcing may help upregulate and downregulate your nervous system. All participation is at your pace and in your own time.

Cancellation Policy
SOLACE AND SANCTUARY Counselling Contract Counselling approach I believe that clients have the inner resources and capacity to grow towards fulfilling their true potential, and they are the experts on their own lives. As a counsellor I will not give you advice or offer solutions, but we will work together to help you understand yourself more fully. With greater self-awareness and trust in your self, body and mind, I hope you will make constructive changes and experience energetic shifts, leading to more connection and wellness in your life. Confidentiality The content of the sessions will be treated as highly confidential. If I need to discuss my work with my supervisor and I will only use your first name but not any other identifying details of you. However, there are a few circumstances in which I may be required to break confidentiality: • If I consider you to be at risk of seriously harming yourself or someone else • If your counselling records have been requested by a court of law • If another party or agency has requested your information, and you have agreed and provided your written consent to this. Sessions The duration of counselling session is 1 hour. Payments/cancellations Each 1-hour session costs the $156.15 for NDIS/At the farm appointments. Individual sessions are charged at $88. Payment will be taken at the time of booking electronically online, or made payable at the time of session. Late cancellation fees are payable as follows: 0-12 hours notice – 100% full session fee payable. 12-24 hours’ notice – 50% of session fee is payable. Please reschedule your appointments prior to 24 hours to avoid cancellation fees. Record keeping If I take notes during or after each session to help me keep track of our progress together, these notes will be stored in a private and secure location and may be viewed by you if you so wish. Your counselling records will be kept by the service for a period of seven (7) years from the date of your last contact with the service. Email/telephone contact Email or telephone contact is possible when pre-booked. I will not enter into telephone or email counselling except by prior arrangement. If you are faced with an emergency in between sessions, please contact Lifeline 131114 or in a life-threatening situation, call 000 without delay. Ending counselling To end counselling, simply advise your decision, and cancel existing appointments prior to 24 hours.
