It Is Possible to Feel Whole
You didn’t come to this point overnight — your story has been unfolding for years. Getting a diagnosis can explain so much, yet it also stirs up questions that touch every part of your life. It can feel like the ground beneath you is shifting. But with care and compassion, you can find steady ground again.
What if you could feel more like yourself?
In our sessions together, you’ll find a safe space to:
-
Untangle the emotions that come with diagnosis
-
Make sense of your past through a new lens
-
Explore who you are beyond labels and symptoms
-
Rebuild a stronger, kinder sense of self
-
Discover strategies that help life feel lighter
-
Begin living with more authenticity and ease
-
Build confidence in who you are and what you need to shine
It’s not about changing who you are. It’s about guiding you back to your true self.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the benefits of counselling?
A: Counselling gives you a safe, supportive space to untangle your thoughts and feelings. It’s not about fixing you — it’s about giving you tools, strategies, and compassion so you can feel lighter, calmer, and more like yourself.
Q: Is this confidential?
A: Yes. Everything you share is kept private and confidential. Your story is safe with me.
Q: Are you qualified?
A: Yes. I hold a masters in counselling, am an accredited member with the Australian Counselling Association and committed to ongoing professional development and growth. Neurodiversity is a passion area of mine and I can never know or learn enough. You can feel confident you’re working with someone who is trained and accountable.
Q: Do you understand neurodivergence?
A: Absolutely. I’m a late diagnosed AuADHDer myself and I specialise in supporting late-diagnosed women and parents of neurodivergent kids to tread this path and make life a little brighter. I feel priviledged to be able to work in my passion area and every spare moment I have I am learning more in relation to neurodivergence. This is a space where you don’t have to mask or explain — you’ll be met with understanding.
Q: What if I’m not sure how many sessions I need?
A: That’s okay. We’ll talk it through in a free discovery call and find the best fit for you. Some women start with three sessions to make sense of the diagnosis, while others choose six to go deeper into self-understanding. Others decide to take sessions one at a time at the standard rate.
Q: How long do I have to use sessions?
​A: I understand that sometimes life gets busy and things get too much and we need to press pause, so I give clients a year to use session so you can set the pace that works for you.
Q: Is this the same as getting a diagnosis?
A: No. I don’t provide assessments or medical treatment. This package is for post-diagnosis support — helping you process, understand, and move forward after you’ve received your diagnosis. If you feel additional diagnoses, or medication may be beneficial I am able to refer you to someone who is able to support with that.
Q: What if I get emotional in sessions?
A: That’s completely okay. Emotions are welcome here. Tears, laughter, silence — they’re all part of the process. This is a space where you don’t have to hold it all together.
Q: What can I expect?
A: You can expect a warm, empathetic, and supportive environment where you set the goals and we work towards them together. By the end of our time, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of yourself and your diagnosis, greater self-acceptance and compassion, and practical tools you can use in everyday life. Most importantly, you’ll carry forward a renewed curiosity to keep growing into your true self.
Q: What if I change my mind?
A: I’ve designed these packages to make quality support more affordable, because no one should have to navigate this journey alone. I never want clients to feel trapped, so if life changes or you need to stop sessions, that’s absolutely fine. I’ll refund you the difference between the package price and the cost of the sessions you’ve already had (billed individually at $150 per hour ex GST). There’s no risk to you — and you’ll still keep the bonus workbook as a thank you gift.
About Freya
Hi, I’m Freya — the neurodivergent brain and heart behind Mumshine. I created this package because I know how overwhelming it can feel to finally get a diagnosis, only to be left with more questions than answers. As a counsellor, coach, AuDHDer, mum, wife, and fur-parent (in no particular order!), I’m passionate about walking alongside women as they navigate life after diagnosis. Through Mumshine, I bring together the tools, warmth, and real-life honesty I wish I’d had on my own journey — so you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
This work matters to me. What happens after diagnosis is where the real story begins, and together we can shape that story with clarity and compassion.
