Hello! I’m Karen Bennett, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (Candidate) and the founder of Divergent Minds Counselling Services—a neurodivergent-affirming practice located in Evergreen, Saskatoon. I provide counselling and coaching for neurodivergent individuals, with a focus on Autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing challenges. My services are available both in-person in Saskatoon and virtually in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Britsh Columbia.
As a neurodivergent person and a parent to six neurodivergent children, I bring a deep, personal understanding of the unique experiences that often come with being differently wired. This lived experience, combined with professional training, allows me to create a space that is sensory-friendly, respectful, and truly attuned to my clients' needs.
My approach integrates somatic tools for regulation, parts work for identity and emotional healing, and Self-Reg strategies. I am also a certified provider of both the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP)—auditory-based interventions that support nervous system regulation, and which I offer as free add-ons for counselling and coaching clients.
Whether you're navigating masking, burnout, emotional regulation, or parenting challenges, Divergent Minds offers compassionate, collaborative care rooted in acceptance and empowerment.
My services are eligible for Autism Individualized Funding (when included in a care plan or recommended by a consultant). I also offer parent coaching that may be eligible under caregiver training.

I look forward to supporting you or your loved ones on your journey toward greater clarity, calm, and connection.
