Katrina Schwarz (she/her)
- Professional Association: Level 2 Australian Counselling Association. Masters of Counselling. AHPRA Registered Midwife.
- Business name: Stop, Collaborate and Listen Counselling
- Services: I offer individual, couples, children and families counselling, including plan and self managed NDIS clients. I offer multiple face to face options in South East Queensland and/or zoom sessions.
- Katrina’s message: I am a proud Autistic/ADHD/PDA woman. My framework for practice stems from a neurodiversity affirmative lens, where I believe in living authentically, recognising and using your well established strengths, and developing a strong sense of ND pride. Unburdening yourself from the mask as you learn to honour your neurotype in your daily life is one of the most liberating experiences and I wish it for every ND person. Whether you choose me as your counsellor or not, please continue forward so others around you can have the privilege to experience the spectacular person you truly are, free of the mask and trauma.
