EP 19 Tamryn Prinsloo: Autism, Self-Diagnosing & Choosing A Mental Health Professional
Show Notes

This week, I sit down with Special Wellness Counsellor, Tamryn Prinsloo from Counseling Goose to chat about all things mental health and to run through your most burning questions.

From almost heading to Japan as the pandemic struck, to travelling to Rwanda to work with kids on the autism spectrum, Tamryn has been around the proverbial block and has furthered her education and training to focus on neurodivergent individuals.

In this episode we talk about

  • How ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) manifests and when to get tested.
  • The difference between psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical psyhcologists and counsellors.
  • Why self-diagnosing yourself with ADHD or another mental disorder is dangerous and
  • How personality marketing plays a role in our every-day society.


From the start of this journey, Tamryn and I have spoken for hours on end about all things mental health, neurodivergence and life. We had so much fun recording this episode and hope you find some interesting facts and information from this!
