Neurodiversity-Affirming Courses, Counselling, & Parent Consultation
Youโve tried all the mainstream parenting approaches, and they simply donโt work.
To make it worse, others claim itโs your fault -
โIf only youโd hold your boundaries, be more firm, try ______โฆโ
If this sounds like your situation, youโre in the right place.
I help struggling parents of complex kids go from clueless & overwhelmed to confident & equipped.
Hi, Iโm Kerry!
Iโm a neurodiversity-affirming Registered Clinical Counsellor & (most importantly) my family is neurodivergent!
As the founder of Neurodivergent Parenting, I seek to create a non-judgmental space for parents to gain practical approaches and mindsets (while offering themselves heaps of compassion in the process). My areas of specialization are Autism, Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), ADHD, OCD, and anxiety.
My approach and resources weave together my professional expertise AND lived experience, so Iโm not just offering you invalidating textbook knowledge and intangible strategies. I get it - Iโm living what youโre living every day.

What Clients Are Saying
-
"I donโt know if I can fully articulate it, but thereโs definitely been a massive shift. Everything opened up for me suddenly. Itโs like I went through a โdoorway,โ and now I have much more capacity to hold space, and to have patience and compassion. When my son gets easily frustrated or when he's having a difficult time, I have a better understanding of the bigger picture and whatโs beneath the surface, and now I can create more balance in our lives."
-
"In my decade of teaching experience, I worked with a wide range of children including many students with autism. Kerryโs course completely changed my perspective on neurodivergence. With her guidance, I learned to approach my students with acceptance and celebration, recognizing and embracing their unique strengths and differences. This mindset shift improved the learning experience for my students, and positively impacted their mental well-being. The strategies and techniques taught in this course provide valuable insights for parents and educators of neurodivergent children. I highly recommend Kerryโs work, it was well worth my time and investment."
-
"Before this course, we had made, what felt like, radical decisions to just follow our child's lead and forgo putting them into every therapy and activity because we were supposed to. We felt like we were on the right track by making this decision but everything around us in society was telling us differently. This course reassured us that we were making the best choices for our child by trusting our intuition and to continue trusting ourselves. I learned so much about different parenting styles as well as struggles that other parents experience. It was nice to know that I am not alone. "
-
"I learned so much from Kerryโs course and would highly recommend it to other parents of ND kids. Kerry is an insightful and compassionate facilitator and we have already implemented many of her gentle approaches in our home. The opportunity to learn with Kerry and connect with other families was a real gift, thank you!"
-
"Kerry's info and ideas are by far the most useful and relevant I have come across in relation to parenting and understanding my ND kiddos."
-
"Iโve learned to separate behaviours, and to see that my child is looking for more connection with me. Trying to separate my feelings about the behaviour and see what heโs really needing โ thatโs been a shift for me."
