Karise McNamee - Paths with Purpose

Karise McNamee - Paths with Purpose AuDHD Counselling Social Worker supporting ADHD & AuDHD women (burnout, shame, perimenopause, PMDD, hormones, health challenges). Book a session with me today.

I provide mental health counselling for women with:

- fertility grief and loss
- hormonal conditions such as PMDD, PMS or perimenopause
- challenges or mental health concerns related to ADHD, AuDHD and autism

I will provide you with a safe space to express your feelings and frustrations, and teach you strategies to navigate your changing emotions and behaviors, rather than trying to change who y

ou are. I will work with you to help you to feel balanced, and better able to cope and communicate your needs, despite sometimes feeling lost, misunderstood, or out of control. My own lived experience with similar conditions means that I truly understand how this can impact so many areas of your life, and how exhausting it can be to put on a ‘happy face’ all the time. I offer flexible online sessions to women all across Australia, no matter where you live, or how you may be feeling. Because you deserve to feel heard and supported. I understand and I am here to help you. Still want to know a bit more about me? Here are some podcast episodes where I have been interviewed about my work and experience. https://youtu.be/IenbfgPK_yI

I just finished the most beautiful and rewarding two weeks, teaching face-to-face intensive classes for the next wave of unbelievably talented and passionate social workers for Charles Sturt University.

Many of them have been coming back to my classes for a year or so, and they are finally about to graduate in a few months. It’s been so wonderful to see them grow their confidence. I cannot wait to see all of the amazing things that they do next!!

For my students reading this: Keep being true to your values, and be courageous!!! You are amazing!!

(I was extremely shocked and a bit teary when I received this beautiful handmade letter, flowers, and card and pouch and chocolates! 😭).
