Hi, I'm Sharmayne

​

I am a registered psychologist with a strong background in Autism and ADHD assessment. 

 

I am an AuDHD, neuroqueer PDAer spoonie (living with chronic illness). 

​

I am passionate about supporting people to realise, explore, and understand their individual self-identity. 

​

I draw on current research, validated assessment tools, and best-practice frameworks, while recognising that evidence must be applied flexibly and ethically.​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hi I'm Bec

​

​I have 22 years experience as a registered occupational therapist supporting neurodivergent folk. 

​

I am late identifed autistic and ADHD, and identify as having an internalised PDA profile. I also live with multiple chronic conditions that can co-occur with neurodivergence and very much understand fluctuating capacity. 

​

I highly value creativity, life long learning and strive to be compassionate and understanding in my approach. 

​

My career tapestry is interwoven with roles in tertiary, secondary and primary education, private practice and government, and I love sharing neuroaffirming training with organisations. ​​​​​

We practise from a neuroaffirming, neurodiversity-informed framework that centres lived experience, rejects deficit and pathologising narratives, and supports autonomy, agency, and safe, meaningful engagement.

 

We provide a safe and welcoming space for the LGBTQIA+ community and other intersectionalities. 

 

ND AffirmEd acknowledges the Palawa peoples as the Traditional Custodians and knowledge-holders of Nipaluna and across Lutruwita, where we live and work. We honour the deep, ongoing connection to Country and recognise Country as living and continuing. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be.
