Relationships are hard enough without ADHD, autism, trauma or misunderstood communication getting in the way.

​

I'm Tamra, a relationship counsellor and coach helping couples reconnect through greater understanding, emotional healing and practical relationship skills.

​

My interest in relationship therapy for the neurodiverse among us started from lived experience with my own partner.  Traditional relationship counselling we were seeking often assumed both partners communicate, process emotions and experience the world in similar ways. When neurodivergence is part of the relationship, those assumptions can sometimes leave couples feeling even more misunderstood.

​​

Whether you're constantly having the same argument, feeling disconnected, navigating parenting, rebuilding intimacy, healing from past hurts, or trying to decide whether your relationship can recover, I'll help you understand the patterns keeping you stuck and create new ways of connecting.

​

​My work integrates Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), ADHD informed care, ASD informed care, mindfulness and childhood trauma attachment model approaches. Rather than following one rigid model, I tailor therapy to the people sitting in front of me.

​​

You don't need a diagnosis to benefit from working with me. Many couples simply recognise that one or both partners think differently, communicate differently, or experience the world differently. My role isn't to label people. It's to understand patterns, strengthen communication, and help each person feel seen and understood.

​

If you have a formal diagnosis, I can work with your current psychologist or psychiatrist as part of your care plan.  I don't provide diagnostic assessments.

​

Sessions take place in a peaceful space in the Adelaide Hills, surrounded by nature. Many clients comment that it feels more like stepping into a retreat than a clinical therapy room. If you're further away, I also offer online sessions via Zoom and Walk & Talk sessions in nature.

​

I welcome all relationship structures. Whether you're LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, questioning, or simply looking for a therapist who approaches people with curiosity rather than assumptions, you'll find a respectful and affirming space here.
