No — and it's important to me that this is clear. I am a Autism & Neurodiversity Consultant, not a Psychologist, Paediatrician, or Psychiatrist. Formal diagnosis must come from a qualified medical or psychological professional. What I do is provide practical, affirming support — before, during, or long after a diagnosis. If I believe a formal assessment would be helpful for your child, I will tell you honestly and refer you to the right person. You will never be left wondering where my role ends and where someone else's begins.

No — and this matters to me. Many of the children I work with are pre-diagnosis, in the assessment process, or never receive a formal diagnosis. I work with what I observe and what you share with me, not with a label.

Because a number without context isn't useful — and can be misleading. Fees depend on the service, the setting, and sometimes the family's circumstances. I'd rather have a real conversation about what's right for you than have you make a decision based on a number on a page. All fees are agreed clearly and in writing before we begin.

Absolutely — and many families do exactly that. The guides are a great way to start building your understanding and confidence, and they often make our direct sessions richer because you arrive already familiar with some of the concepts.

Currently the guides are available in English. Translations into isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, and Afrikaans are in development. If you'd like to be notified when your language becomes available, get in touch via the contact page and I will notify you when your language becomes available.
