Mary has a strong interest in supporting neurodivergent people and families, particularly those navigating ADHD and autism across the lifespan. She adapts her approach to each person’s needs, supporting self-understanding, strengthening emotional regulation, developing executive functioning skills, and enhancing relationships at home, school, and work.
She also has a special interest in perinatal mental health and works with parents during pregnancy, after birth, and throughout the early parenting years.

Her compassionate approach to perinatal counselling in the Sutherland Shire helps parents feel supported, connected, and confident in their journey.
Alongside her individual work, Mary provides relationship therapy for couples and families. Drawing on the Gottman Method, Family Systems Theory, and attachment-based principles, she supports clients to improve communication, repair relational ruptures, and strengthen connection.
