Certificate of Neurodivergence (Digital)

Adelle is the heart and brain behind Nurture Clinical Psychology, a warm and neurodiversity-affirming practice based in Ulverstone, Tasmania. That’s the name you’ll see on her contributions here in the Toolbox - but you might also know her as the powerhouse behind Neurodivergent Ally, home of the wildly loved card decks - Spoon Thieves, Spoon Savers, and ND Me. Yep, same person!

Adelle is a clinical psychologist with nearly two decades of experience, and she’s been walking alongside autistic people and ADHD-ers (especially those who’ve been overlooked or misunderstood - hello late-diagnosed peeps 👋) since the very beginning of her career. Her work is grounded in the neurodiversity-affirming paradigm, the Social Model of Disability, and Spoon Theory - and she’s not just a professional in this space, she’s an AuDHDer herself. So, when she creates a resource? It’s with lived experience, clinical insight, and big heart behind every word.

Through Nurture Clinical Psychology, she’s supported children (with beautiful play-based approaches), parents (especially mums in the thick of it), and people of all ages navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, and neurodivergence. While she’s not offering therapy through the Toolbox, we’re so proud to host her incredible, insight-rich, and affirming resources - the kind that help people better understand themselves, feel seen, and communicate their needs with clarity and pride. 💛

Whether you’ve landed here as a parent, therapist, teacher, or fabulous neurodivergent human - we reckon Adelle’s work is going to become a firm favourite. (And honestly? Same.)
