Leanne Williams
Accredited mental health social worker
About
I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with over 25 years’ experience, and I work with autistic and ADHD teens, adults, couples and parents, including NDIS participants. I’m neurodivergent myself, so I get it from the inside too.
In our sessions I want to support you to find yourself. Expect humour, chatting about your favourite things, and a space where you can unmask and just be you. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here, because we’re all wonderfully different. I want to hear your back story, what you’re great at, and what’s been hard.
You are not a broken human, and you’re not failing at adulting. You’re living in a world built for neurotypical brains and trying to fit in, which is exhausting.
I’m trained in autism and ADHD assessment (including ADOS, ADI-R, MIGDAS and DIVA), have 15 years’ experience in domestic violence work, and I’m currently completing a Master of Autism and Neurodivergent Studies.
