Neurodiverse Relationships

For couples and families learning to love across neurological differences.

When neurodiversity is part of your relationship, whether with a partner, a child, or both, connection can be deeply meaningful but also full of misunderstanding. Therapy can help you slow things down, make sense of each other’s needs, and find new ways to support and relate without blame or burnout.

You might be:

  • In a relationship where one or both partners are neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivity, or other cognitive styles)

  • Feeling constantly misunderstood or emotionally out of sync

  • Struggling with communication overload, shutdowns, or masking

  • A parent trying to connect with a neurodivergent child who “won’t open up”

  • Feeling unsure how to support someone you love without losing yourself

Therapy can help you:

  • Understand how different brains experience emotion, stress, and connection

  • Build communication tools that work for your dynamic

  • Support emotional regulation in yourself and in the person you care about

  • Navigate daily challenges like routines, transitions, or sensory triggers with more ease

  • Reconnect with empathy, flexibility, and emotional safety

Let’s talk. Whether you're navigating a neurodiverse partnership or parenting through misunderstanding, therapy offers a space where both difference and connection can be honoured.
