​

Hello, I am Autumn, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a fellow neurodivergent person. I work with neurodivergent children (8+), teens, and adults, as well as young adults who are feeling the very real impact of climate emotions and eco-anxiety.​

 

Many of the adults I support are neurodivergent and/or parenting neurodivergent children. You do not need to have your child in counselling with me to be seen here. This is your space to show up as a whole person, not only in the role of “parent,” and to make room for your own nervous system, story, and needs.​

 

My work is strengths-based, client-centered, and neurodiversity-affirming. Different brain styles are understood as natural variations, not problems to fix. Together, we will notice what is already working for you, clarify what matters to you, and experiment with supports and strategies that fit your life, energy, and access needs.​

 

I draw from narrative therapy, expressive therapies, and nature-based therapy, inviting nature in as a collaborative co-regulator and support. Your sensory needs, communication style, passions, and identities are welcomed as core parts of you, not things to mask, shrink, or “grow out of”. Sessions can look like focused problem-solving, gentle nervous system check-ins, or making meaning through story and metaphor – depending on what feels most useful and doable for you that day.​

 

You can expect a calm, non-judgmental space where stimming, info-dumping, taking breaks, or needing movement are all okay. Imagine having a place where you can unmask, say the quiet parts out loud, and explore both your overwhelm and your hopes – about your own life, your relationships, and our changing world.​

 

In our work together, there is no expectation to “hurry up and grow.” Like a fern slowly unfurling in its own time, you are invited to take the space, support, and conditions you need to stretch toward the light in ways that feel right for your nervous system. Your sensitivities, passions, and ways of thinking are not weeds to be pulled, but part of a living, responsive forest that deserves care and protection.​

 

Moss reminds us that life can take hold and flourish in the most liminal of spaces: along edges, on thresholds, tree trunks, and rocks that many people overlook. In the same way, your in‑between seasons, identities, and transitions are not failures or delays, but fertile ground for quieter, slower forms of resilience and change. At Moss & Fern Counselling, you are welcome to land on the “forest floor” of our work together, to pause, notice what is already quietly growing, and choose what your next step will be from there.
