Disability support from someone who gets it

Accessible psychosocial recovery coaching for neurodivergence and dynamic disability, from a lived experience perspective

Meet Dani

Hi, I’m Dani,

I work alongside people who are tired of being told to “just push through” or fit into systems that weren’t built with them in mind. My approach is practical, compassionate, and flexible, because real recovery isn’t linear, and it definitely doesn’t look the same for everyone.

Alongside my professional background in peer work, mental health support, and systems navigation, I bring my own lived experience of chronic illness, AuDHD, and the ongoing process of figuring out how to build a life that actually works with my body and brain, not against them.

I’m especially passionate about supporting people who identify as spoonies, neurodivergent, or just generally exhausted by trying to meet expectations that don’t fit. Together, we focus on what is possible by building routines, supports, and strategies that are realistic, sustainable, and kind.

I’m excited to start working with you to create more stability, more self-trust, and more space to breathe in your own life. My job is to walk alongside you while we make it a bit more doable.

What I Do

  • Psychosocial Recovery Coaching

    Psychosocial Recovery Coaching is an NDIS support designed to help people with psychosocial disability build capacity, resilience, and greater independence in their daily lives.

    A Recovery Coach works alongside you to understand your goals, strengthen your supports, and develop practical strategies that support your wellbeing and recovery. This can include building routines, navigating challenges, and connecting with services that align with your needs.

    It’s about supporting you to create a life that feels more stable, meaningful, and manageable.

    All services are delivered via telehealth.

  • Trauma-informed
    Creating a safe, respectful environment that recognises the impact of trauma and prioritises choice, control, and trust

    Strengths-based
    Focusing on your abilities, skills, and what’s working, rather than just challenges or deficits

    Recovery-oriented
    Supporting you to build a meaningful life on your terms, with a focus on hope, autonomy, and personal goals

    Holistic
    Looking at the whole picture, including your mental, physical, social, and environmental needs, not just one part of your experience

  • Person-led, always
    You are the expert in your own life. My role is to support your choices, your goals, and your pace — not to direct or override them.

    Real-life practicality
    Support should actually work in your day-to-day life. I focus on strategies and systems that are realistic, flexible, and sustainable — not idealistic or overwhelming.

    Respect for lived experience
    Lived experience matters — including yours. I bring my own understanding of disability and recovery, and I deeply respect the knowledge you hold about your own needs.

    Neurodiversity-affirming and identity-affirming practice
    I work in ways that honour different ways of thinking, being, and experiencing the world — without trying to “fix” or change who you are.

    Honesty and transparency
    I value clear, open communication. That means being upfront about options, limitations, and processes, so you can make informed decisions.

    Collaboration over hierarchy
    This is a partnership. We work together — not in a top-down, expert-driven model — to find what works best for you.

    Sustainability over burnout
    Progress doesn’t come from pushing yourself past your limits. I prioritise pacing, capacity, and building supports that you can actually maintain long-term.

  • I started this work after burning out in the public mental health system, where I saw firsthand how often people are managed for risk rather than genuinely supported to build agency in their own lives. At the same time, my own health and neurodivergence meant I needed a way of working that actually supported my capacity, rather than constantly pushing against it.

    Through navigating these systems myself, I saw how inaccessible, confusing, and rigid they can be, especially for people with dynamic disability. I created this practice to offer something different: support that is clear, practical, and grounded in real understanding, where people are empowered to make sense of their own needs, build sustainable ways of living, and find their way forward with more confidence and self-trust.
