About me

I frequently offer therapy services to individuals with autism. Most commonly, therapy is offered to highly intelligent adolescents and adults who have significant autistic traits. The majority of people I work with have autistic traits or a formal diagnosis of autism. (Many individuals do not obtain a formal diagnosis of autism as assessments can be very expensive and/or there are long waiting lists for assessment.) Most commonly, individuals are self-diagnosed. This can occur as a result of completing assessments online or by being told by trusted others that they may be on the spectrum. Frequently, therapy requires a tailored approach, as many individuals with autism do not benefit from standard CBT or standard therapy approaches. Many individuals with autism prefer autism therapy online compared to in-person. Therapy can be completed online in a safe place. There is less chance of bumping into unknown people, and there are higher levels of perceived control.

Autism therapy online – Many individuals with autism prefer therapy online as distress is generally reduced. For example, there is no need to wait in a waiting room and therapy can be completed in a safe place.

Autism Therapy Online – We offer tailored treatment approaches for individuals with autism.

Many individuals on the spectrum struggle to cope in a neurotypical world for a variety of reasons. This could be due to life transitions, energy depletion due to masking, post-trauma reactions, gender dysphoria, accessing emotions, OCD, friendship and relationship difficulties, eating disorders, self-harm, depression, shame about being different, heightened sensitivity, and difficulty understanding communication with others.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
