I’m excited to expand on the ADHD group work pioneered by psychologist Janelle Booker, featured on The Imperfects podcast discussing "Life with ADHD."  If you’d like to hear Janelle’s compassionate and insightful take on ADHD, you can listen to the podcast here is the link. 

 

 

ADHD Women’s Support Group - Perinatal & Early Parenting  
Beginning Term 3, 2026
 

I’m excited to soon be offering a small-group program for women with ADHD/AuDHD, with a particular focus on the unique challenges of motherhood and matrescence, mental load, emotional overwhelm, identity, nervous system regulation, self-understanding and self-compassion.
 

These groups are designed to provide a warm, supportive, and neuroaffirming space where women can feel understood, less alone, and better equipped to navigate daily life with greater self-compassion and practical strategies.

Together, we’ll explore topics such as:
 

• ADHD and emotional regulation
• Nervous system overwhelm and burnout
• Sensory sensitivity and masking
• Shame, self-criticism, and perfectionism
• Executive functioning and daily life struggles
• Relationships, boundaries, and communication
• The joy and vulnerability of motherhood and matrescence
• Self-worth, identity, and reconnecting with yourself
 

The groups will combine psychoeducation, gentle reflective discussion, practical strategies, and somatic/nervous system-informed approaches in a compassionate and non-judgemental environment.
 

Details:
• 8-week program
• 1.5 hour sessions
• Small and supportive group format
• Held in Charlestown, NSW at "Newcastle Perinatal Place" 
• Commencing Term 3, 2026 after hours (TBC - Midweek, from 5.30pm) 
• Cost: $110 per session paid prior to or on the day of each session
• Medicare rebates may apply with a valid Mental Health Care Plan (rebates under the Medicare code 80120 are $25.25 minimum - higher for those who have reached their medicare safety net threshold- contact Medicare for more information) 
 

Please note: These groups are educational and supportive in nature and are not intended as a substitute for individual therapy or crisis support.
