About me
Hello and welcome to my page.
I am an experienced autistic therapist, fluent in both English and French, and I specialise in counselling autistic individuals aged 16+ as well as couples where one or both partners are autistic. I also offer counselling to parents, carers, and spouses/partners.
I provide sessions both face-to-face in my office in Hull town centre and online.
Alongside my counselling work, I run a social group for young people aged 16+ and adults called GAP – Giving Autistics Power. This group is aimed at more independent autistic individuals, as I have found this is often the group with the least support available.
I started this group about 7 years ago. We meet up to chat and share our Autistic experiences usually once a month between 6 pm and 7.30 pm.

Autism Counselling
Drawing on both my personal and professional experience, I offer a space where you can talk openly and make sense of the feelings that may come with the daily challenges of being autistic.
Autism can make everyday life more complex, especially in a world where differences are not always fully understood or accepted. Feeling “different” or as though you don’t quite fit in can lead to fear, isolation, bullying, or low self-esteem. Counselling can provide the opportunity to process these feelings, find resolutions, and build confidence in who you are.
Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with a diagnosis for some time or are self-diagnosed, I believe it is vital to explore your strengths and your identity as an autistic individual, as these are key to wellbeing and good mental health. Together, we can also look at practical strategies to help you manage the difficulties you may face in daily life.
I hold close the saying, “When you meet one autistic person, you meet one autistic person.” To me, this means I will always see and respect you as a unique individual—never just a diagnosis.
Couple Autism Counselling
Relationships can be challenging for any couple, and when autism is part of the picture, communication differences can sometimes make things feel even harder. You may feel like you’re speaking different languages or missing each other’s intentions — and that can leave both partners feeling frustrated or misunderstood.
In our work together, I can help you find a way of communicating that feels more balanced and respectful to both of you. This might mean meeting halfway between autistic and neurotypical styles, or simply learning more about each other’s unique way of thinking and relating. Even if both partners are autistic, differences in processing and communication can still show up — just as they do for any couple.
Many people who come to me have already tried couples counselling before, but found it unhelpful because the therapist didn’t fully understand autism. This often meant important parts of the relationship dynamic were overlooked. My approach is different: I understand how autism can shape relationships, and I use that knowledge to support you both in ways that feel relevant and meaningful.
I offer a safe and neutral space where we can talk openly about the challenges you face, without blame or judgment. I don’t take sides — my focus is on helping you both feel heard, valued, and better equipped to build the kind of relationship you want together.
Parents, carers and spouses/partners
Finding out that your child, partner, or relative is autistic can bring up so many emotions — confusion, worry, even a sense of isolation. Supporting a loved one also comes with daily challenges that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Having a safe space to talk honestly, without judgment, can help you feel less alone and more supported in your journey.
Through our work together, you can also gain a deeper understanding of autism, which you can then apply in your relationship with your loved one to strengthen connection and support.
Please note: I do not provide autism diagnoses and I do not offer counselling to individuals under 16.
YOU AND I, WORKING TOGETHER
I work in an integrative way, which means I draw on different counselling approaches to suit your individual needs. At the beginning of our work together, we will agree on a plan of action tailored to you and the issues you want to address.
The first session also gives us a chance to explore any specific needs you may have as an autistic client and agree on accommodations to make therapy more accessible and comfortable for you. This might include support around sensory sensitivities (such as lighting or sound), the option of later-in-the-day appointments, flexibility with online or face-to-face sessions, using writing or visual supports alongside talking.
Being autistic can also mean carrying trauma from past experiences — whether through misunderstanding, bullying, masking, or feeling different. Therapy can be a safe place to gently address this, if and when you choose.
My approach often combines practical strategies to help with challenges in the here and now, while also exploring underlying patterns to create longer-term solutions. The aim is to give you both understanding and tools you can carry forward to manage future difficulties.
We often invest time and energy into many areas of our lives, yet forget to invest in the most important thing — ourselves.
Creating an environment where you feel truly heard and respected is at the heart of my work. Counselling offers a space where you can be yourself, express your thoughts and feelings without fear, and know that you will not be judged.
My role is to walk alongside you on your journey, offering care, compassion, and safety as you explore whatever challenges you may bring, regardless of your background or experiences. It is always a privilege to be trusted with this path, and I would be honoured to walk it with you.
Length of Counselling
Our work together can be open-ended, meaning there is no fixed number of sessions — we will review regularly, and when you feel ready to end, we can plan a gentle ending over a couple of sessions.
If you prefer to focus on a specific issue within a set timeframe, we can agree on a number of sessions from the start. This can always be reviewed as we go along, and if you feel you’d benefit from more time, we can extend the work together.
About me
Let me share a little about how I came to counselling.
I first came to the UK from France as an au pair, and later became a mum of four — three of whom are neurodivergent. My career began in the NHS, caring for elderly people with Alzheimer’s and dementia, and after one of my children was diagnosed as autistic, I went on to run a support group for parents and carers of children with additional needs. I have also taught French, which gave me the joy of meeting people from all walks of life.
My own journey included facing depression and panic attacks during a difficult time. Counselling made such a positive difference to me that I decided to train as a counsellor myself, so I could offer the same support to others. More recently, receiving my own autism diagnosis has brought clarity and understanding to many of my experiences.
As a parent, an autistic individual, and someone who has also been a counselling client, I bring many perspectives to my work. I know how much courage it takes to reach out for support — and I deeply respect that step.
So what's next ?
If you feel that counselling could help you, contact me with no obligation.
In order to avoid nuisance calls, I do not answer unknown numbers. For this reason, I prefer that you contact me initially by text or email. We can then organise a phone call.
PLEASE NOTE : If you send your enquiry during the weekend I will get back to you on the following Monday. Please note I do not work Fridays.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained with Gloucestershire Counselling Service, the biggest counselling service in Gloucestershire, for 5 years where I gained:
A certificate in Counselling Skills
A diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling
A Post Graduate Associate Award
Since, I also completed a CBT Diploma and an Autism Awareness Diploma.
I have recently done a couple of training with Tony Attwood :
CBT and Counselling with Autism Spectrum Disorder Clients : A masterclass with Professor Tony Attwood.
Girls and Women with Autism
After getting my diploma I volunteered with the service, counselling individuals with a wide range of issues like bereavement, divorce, child sexual abuse, relationship difficulties, domestic violence situation, low self-esteem, depression and anxiety. I gained experience in working with people of different ages, ranging between 21 and 83.
Since moving to Hull, as well as running my private practice, I also volunteered as a counsellor for Survivors UK, which helped victims of childhood sexual abuse.
I then worked for a counselling service providing counselling for the NHS for 6 years.
I regularly do further training and attend workshops to keep my practice updated and expand my knowledge on different issues and different models of therapy.
I follow the Code of Ethics of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy of which I am a member.
I have monthly supervision.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
