Senior Psychologist

Yvonne Daly

You’re not broken. You’re tired. And you’re allowed to be.

Hi! I’m Yvonne — a neurodivergent psychologist, parent, and self-proclaimed Mario Kart champion. I work with clients who want to better understand themselves, move through stuckness, and feel less exhausted by everyday life.

I offer individual psychology and couples counselling to neurodivergent adults focused on:

Life transitions
Burnout and shutdown
Late-diagnosis processing
Relationship dynamics (especially where neurodivergence is involved)
Learning to work with your brain (instead of against it)

Some of the things that make me 'me':

Other people may describe me as:

My style is:

Collaborative (we figure things out together)
Affirming (no shame or “fixing” here)
Curious and flexible
Direct, but warm
Focused on small wins that build momentum

You are the expert on your experience — I’m just here to help you spot the patterns, connect the dots, and build a way forward that feels less like survival and more like actual living.

I offer:
