Autism
In addition to offering psychotherapy to neurotypical people, I specialise in working with autistic young people and adults without learning disability. This involves providing person-centred support and guidance around understanding and managing behaviours and helping you to develop new ways to help build your confidence and self-esteem.
Psychotherapy can provide you with the space to talk about how you are feeling without the fear of being judged. This space allows you to express your feelings and explore and understand what is happening in your world and what may have caused you to feel this way.
I have worked for many years supporting autistic young people and adults in a variety of roles. I offer therapy, mentoring and support to autistic individuals, their partners and family members. I draw upon my personal and professional experience to offer a person-centred approach.
Autistic people often do not respond to standard approaches to therapy as it relies heavily on verbal approaches. I use autism-friendly techniques to enable you to fully engage, understand and benefit from the therapeutic process incorporating a range of non-verbal creative approaches encouraging the opportunity for exploration, self-awareness and building resilience. I tailor my approach to best suit your needs.
I am listed in the NAS (National Autistic Society) services directory. This recognises my professional status, experience and training in Autism. NAS website: www.autism.org.uk/

Women and Girls Autism in women and girls is something that is often overlooked and misunderstood as they can present differently, and it is important to understand the unique challenges that they face in society.
