Making sense of yourself
A recent diagnosis, a long-held understanding or questions you’re still exploring. Talk about identity, masking, strengths and support needs without having everything resolved.
Life Psychology Australia Understanding & identity
Neurodiversity-affirming psychology.
Room for the way you are.
Support for autistic adults and adults with ADHD, including people still exploring their identity. Work with Zoe Semmler on what’s making everyday life harder, and what you’d like to be different.
Adults 18+ · 60 minutes · Secure telehealth across Australia
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to seek support here. These are therapy sessions; we don’t offer formal autism or ADHD diagnostic assessments.
Areas of support
Start with your everyday life.
You might recognise one of these experiences, or several. We can work out what deserves attention together.
When demands pile up
Getting started, juggling tasks, sensory overload or feeling depleted after a busy day. Explore what adds pressure and what might make daily life more manageable.
Saying what you need
Communication, boundaries and relationships. Find ways to explain your needs and make room for your own priorities.
When life changes
Work, study, parenthood or a change in routine can bring new demands. Talk through what’s happening and consider practical ways forward.
Working with Zoe
Curious about your experience.
Practical about what helps.
Zoe listens closely, asks useful questions and shares her perspective with care. Together, you can consider what you’re carrying, what you want to work on and what feels achievable in your life.
What affirming means here
Your strengths matter, and so do the difficulties and support needs that can come with being neurodivergent. The work can include understanding your own patterns and the demands of the environments around you.
You can talk about what fits and what doesn’t. The aim is support that is useful to you, with no pressure to appear more like someone else.
Your first session
You can begin
where you are.
Zoe will ask what brought you here, what life is like for you now and what you hope could change. You can discuss your questions, confidentiality and a useful focus for the work.
If you’ve had therapy before, what helped and what didn’t are useful things to share. You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly organised story.

Not sure which option fits?
Help me choose a funding optionA few useful answers.
Can I come if I’m still exploring whether I’m neurodivergent?
Yes. You can talk about your experiences and support needs whether you’re diagnosed, self-identified or unsure. You don’t need to settle on a label before seeking support.
These sessions are therapy, not formal autism or ADHD diagnostic assessments. If an assessment is what you’re looking for, ask the practice before booking.
Can we also talk about anxiety, low mood or relationships?
Yes. Those concerns can be part of the conversation too. You and Zoe can discuss what feels most pressing and agree where to focus.
You can read more about anxiety and low mood or sessions for couples.
What do I need for an online session?
A private place where you can talk, a device with a camera and microphone, and a reliable internet connection.
If using telehealth, privacy or a particular access need is a concern, get in touch before booking to discuss whether this service will suit you.
How often would we meet?
You and Zoe can discuss a pace that takes your needs and circumstances into account, and review how the work is going. There isn’t one number of sessions that suits everyone.
