Post- Diagnosis Small Groups for
Mums
A space for mums raising neurodivergent kids to make sense of it all after the diagnosis
A place to process - to be seen -
and to know you are not alone.
It is OK to Need More Support
You don’t need to be in crisis to want a change
Mumshine Groups are different.
They space for the in-between
- when you’re no longer in shock, but not yet steady.
8 weeks of connection - small group, same faces.
No need to explain - or mask - or fake.
Just come as you are and leave a little lighter.
Weekly themes - online sessions, videos & worksheets.
Explore topics to help you:
understand your feelings, manage stress, reduce the load and parent in a neuroaffirming way, that supports your family - without guilt or shame.
Next Group Starts 30th April 2026
As a gift for attending the webinar,

Mumshine Small Groups Feel Different
A place of connection and learning
Small Groups - Same Faces
We start and finish together. No late joiners. No more than 8 people a group.
Because connection takes time and new people take energy.
Structured Support - Weekly Themes
Each week get a short video and exercise for each theme. You turn up - I guide the conversation.
Because you have enough on your plate without the pressure of a blank page.
Different Boats Same Ocean
A group for mums raising neurodivergent kids. Our lives are different - but we are facing similar challenges.
Because explaining is exhausting and we need a space to just be.
Connection without Pressure
These are support groups, not therapy. It is a space to be - without pressure to share.
Because connection and knowledge are important for mental health.
Frequently Asked Questions
You won’t be trapped or pressured.
After the first group session, if you feel the program isn’t right for you, you’re welcome to let me know within 24 hours and I’ll refund your enrolment (less the cost of that session). No guilt. No awkward conversations. Just honesty and care — for both of us.
You can’t! There is no pace or pressure. There are no tests or exams.
Whilst there are weekly themes - these are guides for group discussion. You don't need to complete the video and the worksheet to join. They are designed to provide colour and depth for those that need it - not replace the session.
Program start dates and times are included on the registration page. Weekly online calls last for 60 minutes. I can provide a letter of attendance to employers as well to support in getting time off, flexibility with break times or accessing personal leave to attend (this will be dependent on your employers policy).
Yes. The group is limited to 8 places only. Once the cohort begins, nobody else can join so you get to connect meaningfully with other members.
The group is big enough that you feel connected and not alone. It is small enough that you still get individual attention.
I get it - group spaces can be tricky if they are not well managed. For many people attending this is their first time in a group of other neurodivergent people and it feels different and I run it differently. Neurotypical social and communication norms - do not apply here.
You will never be pushed to share, speak, or turn your camera on. You can move, stim, lie on the floor, sit in the dark or join while exercising. You do what feels right for your body.
Spoken words are only one form of communication. We use chats, GIFs, pictures, memes, drawings and hand signals to communicate and express ourselves in the easiest way possible. We use AI to lighten the communication load (if we want) and for many listening quietly feels best.
In our first group we will craft some group guidelines on how we will treat each other, and ourselves, so there are guardrails we all agree on. You set the pace — I protect the safety.
If this still does not feel comfortable for you, then book a discovery call for individual sessions. We can work through the content one on one (individual cost is $1360+GST)
Tears, awkward pauses, going blank — all of that is welcome here.
You won’t be spotlighted or rushed through feelings. You can take space, mute, or step away if needed. I hold the container so the room remains steady and safe.
This is not a therapy space for deep work - it is a support group but it is facilitated by a mental health professional. Not a coach. If I recognise you struggling in groups, I will check in to see if you are OK and talk about some options to support your mental health more deeply (like one on one counselling which can be done alongside support groups).
You’re not just allowed to be human here - you are supported in being human too.
The truth is - we will never know until we try. The best thing to do is try and take it one day at a time or follow the hyperfixation where it takes you.
If you are unable to attend for a week, you will still get access to the video and worksheet. Sessions are not refundable as the group is closed and we are holding the place for you.
Of course. You are welcome here.
Did you know most neurodivergent people are undiagnosed? It is emotionally draining, time consuming and expensive. You do not need a diagnosis to know who you are,
My job is to believe and support you.
Support groups are not a replacement for therapy. If you feel you need support now, please book a free introductory call and we can discuss individual counselling.
If you are in crisis - please call lifeline on 13 11 14 or 000 as Mumshine is not a crisis service - and when you are feeling safe and steady, we can start.
That’s absolutely fine.
Support groups can sit gently alongside individual therapy. If helpful, I can provide a short summary of the group themes so your therapist can integrate the work into your existing support.
You’re not replacing care - you’re adding a different form of support.
A a licenced counsellor within Australia, I am only able to offer support to mums that live here.
If you are outside Australia, drop me an email at hello@mumshine.com.au. and I can offer the weekly videos and worksheets as a mini-course for you to do in your own time.
For the group to be effective (and not awkward) the group needs a minimum of 3 participants.
If for whatever reason, you secure a space and enough participants have not joined a week before the scheduled start date, you will have the choice to:
1. Stay enrolled for a deferred start date (likely one month delay) or
2. Get a refund.
