Finding a therapist who truly “gets” you shouldn’t be a struggle. If you or your child are neurodivergent, you deserve support that respects your wiring, builds on strengths, and helps with the real-world challenges of school, work, family and friendships.
Laura Wilson is a Sydney-facing psychotherapist offering online neurodiverse therapy for adults, adolescents and children. Her approach is warm, relational and tailored to who you are, not just a list of symptoms.
What “Neurodiverse Therapy” Means
Neurodiversity includes ADHD, autism, dyslexia and other natural variations in how brains process information. Therapy with Laura is about being seen and understood first, then gently building practical strategies around that connection. She brings a relational style that focuses on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.
In sessions, you can expect:
- A calm, non-judgemental space to talk about what’s hard and what’s working
- A strengths-based lens that notices focus, creativity, pattern-spotting and persistence
- Clear, collaborative goals that fit your life and values
- Flexible pacing so therapy never feels rushed or overwhelming
Online Support for Sydney Clients
All sessions for Sydney clients are delivered online, which makes therapy easier to fit around school runs, work commitments and travel time. If you’re in Sydney and prefer some flexibility, online therapy is a thoughtful, effective option.
Help for Adults, Adolescents and Children

How Laura Works
Laura’s core modality is the Conversational Model, a psychodynamic, relationship-centred approach that helps people feel safe, understood and more connected to themselves. She also draws on short-term, practical strategies when that’s what’s needed. The aim isn’t to “fix” who you are, but to help you live more comfortably and confidently as yourself.
