My Conflict Management Training for Leftist Organizations with Alyse was insightful, engaging, and generative. We spoke about how to be a good facilitator, a good mediator, and generally a good person in community. We dreamed about healing the world! I have still been reviewing my notes weekly and incorporating their teachings into my everyday life. I am super grateful for my experience and learned many important skills that will benefit me in my personal and professional life.- Elena Tresierra-Farbridge, CFC’s Food Systems Coordinator

Unruly Writers
(Community)

Alyse is a compassionate, reliable, engaging facilitator who listens and offers thought-provoking insights every time. They've been a wonderful addition to the Unruly Writers Club hosting team. I highly recommend Alyse as a group facilitator.-Aimee Louw, Co-Founder of the Unruly Writers Club

Shawn
(1-on-1)

I have been working with Alyse for 5 years. Alyse’s approach is empathetic, compassionate, flexible, adaptive and patient. They take a holistic approach in a neurodivergent friendly way that respects the agency, autonomy, and lived experience of everyone. Working with Alyse has led me to find the confidence and resources to value myself and tackle challenges head on.We’ve focused a lot on emotional regulation, black and white thinking, compassionate self-talk, neurodivergence, nervous system health and relational skills around conflict. As someone who is diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety and other mental health challenges, Alyse has helped me build resilience and agency to thrive according to my own values in a world that is ableist. Their focus on physiological aspects of stress, trauma, and emotional intensity is refreshing.

Taylor: couples work
(people together)

Working with Alyse (they/them) over the past several months, both individually and with my partner, has been incredibly grounding and supportive. From the beginning, Alyse has held space with so much clarity, care, and nonjudgment. They have a real gift for seeing and understanding people deeply. As someone living with ADHD, I frequently feel like I’m bouncing between overwhelm and overthinking, but Alyse meets me there with so much presence.Alyse has also been incredibly helpful in supporting me to navigate systems that often feel overwhelming or inaccessible, offering both emotional grounding and concrete steps when I’ve needed to advocate for myself. Alyse helped me identify how I've been living with burnout and has supported me in implementing practical habits to regain a sense of calm, peace and ease in my life again. They really get the nuances (and challenges) of how I engage with the world, and they reflect things back in ways that are both validating and generative.I especially appreciate Alyse's holistic approach. I feel very seen, heard and understood by them. They’re not trying to “fix” anything; they ask thoughtful questions, offer tangible strategies, and hold you accountable with compassion. They’ve helped me build more awareness of my patterns, and gently encouraged me toward change without ever making me feel pushed or judged. Sessions with Alyse feel equal parts spacious and focused, like there’s room to be messy and real, while still feeling gently held and directed.I look forward to each session with Alyse. Alyse brings such a calm, clear energy to the work, they feel like the epitome of community care, and they’ve helped me feel more connected to myself and more capable in my relationships. I can’t recommend them enough!

We can all be more effective carers
with the right skills.

A little more about me

As a neurocomplex, non-binary, queer, carer,
I usually work with other marginalized people.I am committed to prioritizing accessibility,
building solidarity, and fostering creative + inclusive spaces.

My practice seeks to deconstruct normative expectations, divest from colonial practices
and rethink hierarchical structures.

As a European Settler on unceded land, I welcome difficult conversations about: race, class, power dynamics, Eurocentricism, systemic injustice, and white supremacy.I also bring these skills to group facilitation and continue to hone them with training in conflict transformation.

About Me

We all need support to get through the day, especially us neurocomplex folks.

My practice revolves around curiosity, radical compassion and meeting people where they are at. This usually looks like helping people and communities work through burnout, challenging emotions, executive dysfunction, communication barriers, stress responses, sensory distress, social anxiety and managing everyday habits. I am trained in social justice facilitation, polyvagal theory, mindfulness, CBT, active listening, harm reduction and more, with a background in Disability Theory, Transformative Justice and art making.

Reasons you might choose Radical Care Coaching over traditional psychotherapy, social work, or Corporate HR.

  • You belong to a group that has been mistreated and marginalized by psychology and state interventions, so you know that carework is political.

  • You want your values reflected back to you by a community member who understands your point of view, and you prefer working in a non-hierarchical structure, like peer support.

  • You are skeptical of our current framing of “mental health” as an individualized problem and seek non-pathologizing care.

  • You want someone who can hold complexity around harm-doing, and/or you reject punishment and are interested in transformative justice.

  • You want an anti-oppressive, de-colonialized, post-capitalist, disability + queer informed framework for thinking through life, conflict, and leadership.

Relationship are integral to fostering the future we want.

Relationships are the building blocks of our shared existence.They define the quality of our lives.
