Do you need help with Autism, ADHD, anxiety/depression, setting boundaries, or navigating life changes?

I offer neurodiversity-affirming therapy in Canada for those navigating a world that works against our brain. Originally from 🇬🇧, down to earth, love a bit of witty humour, reflective, and find beauty in many things. It’s my mission to improve self compassion and compassion when working with clients.

Hey, you! Is this hitting close to home?

Have you noticed how overwhelming, inaccessible, or isolating everyday spaces can feel during cancer treatment, for you or for someone you care about?

You’re not imagining it.

Many environments simply aren’t designed with the realities of living with cancer in mind, which can make it harder to rest, focus, or feel genuinely supported.

If you’re a patient, family member, or caregiver, this can take a real emotional toll.
And none of it means you’re asking for too much.

Here’s the hopeful part: small, compassionate changes can make a meaningful difference.

Supportive environments can reduce stress, improve well-being, and foster connection while respecting differences in energy, capacity, and day-to-day needs.

If you’re wondering where to start, try this:
🗨️ Listen and validate experiences without judgment.
🗨️ Offer support with meals, errands, or appointments.
🗨️ Encourage flexible scheduling at work, school, or home.
🗨️ Help connect people to resources, programs, or professional care.

If you want guidance tailored to your situation, Charlotte Laws at Prismatic Compassion offers affirming support to help you create compassionate, cancer-supportive spaces.

You’ve been lied to about eating disorders.

And if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or exhausted trying to explain your relationship with food or your body, you’re not alone.

You’re navigating a world full of myths that can feel incredibly invalidating.
You may have been made to feel like your struggle isn’t “serious enough,” “visible enough,” or doesn’t fit the stereotype.

Let’s be clear: this is not you doing something wrong.

Misconceptions, like eating disorders being about vanity, only affecting women, or always showing up in a certain body, erase real experiences and real pain.

If stigma or misinformation has left you questioning yourself, your experiences are still valid. Full stop.

You deserve to protect your energy.
Education, affirming therapy, peer support, and compassionate communities can help you feel seen, understood, and supported, without having to prove your struggle.

Charlotte Laws at Prismatic Compassion offers neuroaffirming, supportive therapy to help you unpack harmful myths, validate your lived experience, and care for your mental health in ways that actually feel safe.

Living with an episodic disability can be challenging, not just because of fluctuating symptoms, but also because of ableism from others.
Comments like “you look fine” or “can’t you just push through?” are invalidating and exhausting.

Remember: you don’t need to prove or explain your disability. Your experience is real and valid.

Here are some strategies to cope:
✅ Set boundaries around invasive questions.
✅ Pace yourself without guilt.
✅ Seek affirming communities and supports.
✅ Use scripts to respond to ableist comments.

Charlotte Laws at Prismatic Compassion provides disability- and neurodivergence-informed guidance to help you navigate episodic conditions, advocate for yourself, and reduce harm from ableism.

Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) can impact hormones, metabolism, and energy, and many neurodivergent individuals experience unique challenges when managing it.

Research suggests a higher prevalence of ADHD and neurodivergence among people with PCOS.
Symptoms like sleep disruption, mood changes, or energy fluctuations may overlap, making self-care more complex.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Strategies like symptom tracking, pacing, checklists, and breaking tasks into manageable steps can help you manage your health and mental wellness.

💜 Struggling to balance PCOS and neurodivergence? Charlotte Laws at Prismatic Compassion offers neurodivergence-affirming therapy and guidance to support your mind, body, and routines.

As a neurodivergent or LGBTQ+ individual, you may notice that injustice, big or small, hits harder than it seems to for others.
This heightened response is called justice sensitivity.
It’s your nervous system and moral reasoning alerting you to potential harm or inequity.

For many, past experiences of marginalization amplify these reactions. You may feel frustrated, replay situations, or try to “fix” unfairness, and that’s valid.

Strategies to support yourself include:
💬 Naming your reactions without judgment
❤️ Setting boundaries around how much you engage with injustice
🧠 Practicing grounding and regulation
🤝 Seeking therapy, coaching, or peer support that affirms your experiences

Charlotte Laws at Prismatic Compassion provides LGBTQ+ and neurodivergence-informed support to help you navigate justice sensitivity safely and affirmingly.

Reflecting on the grief after a late neurodivergence diagnosis is valid.
It’s normal to feel a mix of relief, sadness, anger, and confusion.

What you missed, what you struggled with, and the support you didn’t receive all matter. Your experience is valid exactly as it is.

Supporting neuroq***r clients in therapy requires awareness, affirmation, and intentional care.
Neuroq***r individuals often face hate, erasure, or invalidation, even in mental health spaces.
Messages like “identity is political” or dismissing neurodivergent traits can be deeply harmful.

Here’s how professionals can provide affirming care:
✅ Honour self-identification for both neurodivergence and q***r identity.
✅ Ask what supports, accommodations, or practices are helpful.
✅ Validate lived experiences without judgment.
✅ Use correct pronouns and inclusive language.
✅ Centre their comfort, autonomy, and identity in therapy.

Neuroq***r clients don’t need to prove who they are. They deserve safe, affirming spaces that respect the full intersection of their identities.

Charlotte Laws at Prismatic Compassion provides neuroq***r- and neurodivergence-informed guidance for professionals looking to offer affirming, inclusive, and trauma-informed care.

Many neurodivergent adults, especially women and AFAB individuals, have ADHD symptoms that are masked until their 30s or 40s. Perimenopause can unmask these traits, leading to increased distractibility, emotional intensity, and executive function challenges.

If you’re noticing these changes, it’s not a personal failing. Your brain is adjusting to hormonal shifts, and your nervous system is responding to what it needs.

Strategies to support yourself include:
💬 Acknowledging ADHD symptoms without shame
❤️ Building routines and supports that fit your current energy
🧠 Using planners, reminders, and timers
🤝 Seeking therapy, coaching, or peer support familiar with ADHD and perimenopause

Charlotte Laws at Prismatic Compassion provides neurodivergence-informed care to help you navigate ADHD in midlife safely and affirmingly.

Diet culture tells us harmful myths: that thinness equals health, that certain foods are “bad,” or that dieting equals discipline.
These messages can lead to chronic dieting, guilt, anxiety, and disconnection from your body’s natural signals.

If you’re tired of the cycle of restriction and shame, it’s not your fault.
Diet culture is designed to keep you questioning yourself.

Strategies to support yourself:
💬 Challenge the “good vs. bad” food mindset.
❤️ Listen to your hunger, fullness, and cravings.
🧠 Build routines that honour mental, emotional, and physical health.
🤝 Connect with affirming communities that normalize diverse bodies and eating experiences.

Charlotte Laws at Prismatic Compassion provides affirming, supportive therapy for those navigating diet culture, intuitive eating, and body image concerns.

Autism is a spectrum, and every experience is unique. Your traits, your strengths, and your challenges all matter, and your experience is valid exactly as it is.
