Lorelai Burns
Counsellor or psychotherapist (ACA, PACFA or CPCA). PACFA Clinical Counsellor | Trauma-Informed, Neurodivergent-Affirming Support | ADHD, Autism & Mental Wellbeing
About
As a qualified PACFA Clinical Counsellor with over 20 years of experience across varied mental health settings and private practice, I understand that life can feel overwhelming, anxious or exhausting. I offer a gentle, compassionate and collaborative space where you can pause, make sense of your experiences and work towards a greater sense of balance.
My approach is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming and person-centred. I work broadly across general mental health and have extensive experience supporting autistic adults and adults with ADHD who may be navigating executive dysfunction, overwhelm and burnout.
Rather than trying to pathologise your traits, I focus on your individual strengths, values, goals and pace. Together, we can explore practical coping strategies and meaningful changes that feel authentic to who you are.
I welcome NDIS self-managed and plan-managed participants, as well as individuals seeking private, out-of-pocket counselling.
What a first session looks like
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a comfortable, trusting relationship. I'll invite you to share what has brought you to counselling and what you would like support with, at a pace that feels right for you. There is no pressure to share everything straight away. We'll explore what is important to you, discuss your hopes for counselling and consider how we might work together. My aim is for you to feel heard, respected and supported, without judgement.
