I’m an experienced counsellor, supervisor and mentor and I’m autistic. As well as my own experience of being autistic, I have a Master’s in Autism (M Ed Autism).
I specialise in working with individuals and families living with autism.
I work as a counsellor in private practice, as a supervisor in a local agency as well as in private practice, and as a specialist mentor in HE.
I provide
- counselling and support for young people (16+) and adults who are or think they are autistic
- counselling and support for parents when someone in their family is autistic
- supervision for professionals working with autism
Counselling and support
Whether you’re looking for help for yourself or for someone in your family, my approach is autism-friendly; it is about understanding your experience of autism and helping you find the ways to overcome the issues so that you can enjoy life and do the things that you would like to.
Counselling is the chance for you to talk in confidence about anything that is worrying you. Support is a more practical approach, helping you understand your challenges and develop coping strategies to manage unexpected situations, reducing overload.
Supervision
If you are an autistic counsellor yourself, I can provide supervision as someone who understands your work from your perspective.
If you are providing counselling for autistic clients, but are not autistic yourself, specialist supervision can help you understand how best to work with your autistic clients.
If you are a specialist mentor, supervision can help you explore alternative ways of working with autistic students and can support you in your own practice.
I work with young people (16 years+), adults and individuals and families living with autism.
Please note: I only work with individuals living in the UK.
I also have a particular interest in autism and neurodiversity. I have a master's in autism (M Ed Autism) and my research focused on adapting therapy for people with Asperger's Syndrome. I have extensive personal and professional experience of Asperger's Syndrome which I use to provide counselling and support for individuals and families living with these conditions.
