Meet the Course instructor

Hi, I'm Dr Liz Dawes and I am a clinical psychologist and clinic director at Every Mind Child Psychology, a psychology clinic offering neuroaffirming psychological therapy and diagnostic assessments for neurodivergent children. I am also a parent of three girls, at different ages and developmental stages of life. I can appreciate the ups and downs of parenting, how challenging yet how wonderful it can be.  I have loved meeting and talking to other parents about their parenting journeys with neurodivergent children, what advice has helped them, and others that really haven't. I love how their stories have shaped Nurturing Neurotypes and the courses we have produced.
