My Story

A Therapist Who Gets It

I am Jen, an Occupational Therapist, certified coach - and a queer neurodivergent bio and non bio mummy to two amazing donor conceived children. I started OT Intuition because the current OCD and perinatal support systems are failing so many of us - I know because I've lived it too.

Traditional OCD treatment often tells people to face their fears head-on with rigid exposure ladders. But when you are carrying trauma, postpartum exhaustion, or a sensitive neurodivergent nervous system, textbook ERP can easily lead to shutdown.

I am an Occupational Therapist with training in perinatal mental health and trauma-focused ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). I use an ACT-adapted approach to Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). That means we focus on unhooking from scary thoughts, leaning into your values, and building upon willingness for physical and psychological discomfort, all while keeping your nervous system in a state that enables you to actually process the work.

Whether you are an adult dealing with panic attacks and OCD rituals, or a parent terrified by perinatal intrusive thoughts, we tackle the fear cycle safely, practically, and at a pace your body can hold.

Through my podcast, 1:1 therapy sessions, and our digital membership, I offer advocate, psychoeducation, practical, affirming support that work for our brains and our lives. My approach is built on Occupational Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and Sensory Processing.

I believe that healing, growth, and connection happen when we feel safe enough to be ourselves - and supported enough to explore what we need. You are welcome here exactly as you are.

"I offer a compassionate, affirming space that honours diverse identities, family structures, neurotypes, and lived experiences - without judgement or the expectation to mask who you are."
