Robert is a husband, father, and proud non-Status Metis who draws from his own journey with neurodiversity, both personally and professionally, to offer empathetic and neurodivergent-affirming support.

He works closely with adults diagnosed later in life, guiding them to manage their neurodiversity and thrive authentically, with an understanding rooted in his lived experience.

Robert’s practice is built on creating a safe, understanding space where clients can explore tailored strategies to navigate the complexities of neurodiversity, boundaries, complex trauma and couple's counselling. He empowers individuals to embrace their neurodivergence as an integral part of their identity, helping them move beyond feelings of overwhelm or inadequacy.
