Autistic and neurodivergent brains experience the world differently to neuro-typical brains and having the right counsellor to help you through can be so essential for support and understanding. 

 

You’re not alone. 

Autism specific counselling can help you manage and overcome issues, and as an autism specialist I can provide the space to help you find the words and emotions to process what is going on for you.

                                               

Nobody 'wants' therapy.

What you want is to be heard, understood. 

 

Instead of anxiety, you want calmness.

Instead of judgement, you want acceptance.

Instead of stress, you want coping strategies

Instead of depression you want happiness.

​​

Whilst there's no magic wand to fix problems,

the combination of the right counsellor, with the right therapy, up to date autistic knowledge, acceptance and understanding puts you on the right path for positive change.  

 

And you’ve already taken such a big step by looking at this website today.

Green Background

With over 8 years experience working with neurodivergent clients 

You may be asking what makes me different from a lot of other therapists? 

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist/Counsellor, meaning I'm trained and experienced in several therapeutic approaches along with having a qualification in autism and my own autism diagnosis. 

I know that you are unique, that no one model of therapy will suit all, so that’s exactly why I aim for our sessions to be unique, tailoring my approach to your individual needs.  

Based in Preston, Lancashire, UK for face to face sessions and able to see clients online/phone from all over the UK and Europe

Fully qualified and registered autistic counsellor with advance diploma in autism and neurodivergence

GETTING IN TOUCH

Due to my work schedule it isn't always possible for me to answer my phone...text, email or referral forms are a more reliable way to contact me
