About me
Hi, I’m Rebecca — a late-diagnosed autistic therapist offering counselling for autistic and neurodivergent women across the UK.
My work is grounded in person-centred values, which means I won’t give advice or tell you what to do — instead, I’ll support you to explore your emotions, make sense of your experiences, and find your own answers.
As an autistic woman myself, I have a deep understanding of how autism can present differently in women. I’m passionate about creating an affirming space where you don’t have to mask or explain yourself. My sessions are stim-friendly, open-minded, and welcoming of self-diagnosis.
I specialise in working with issues like:
- Autistic identity and late diagnosis
- Burnout, overwhelm and masking
- Trauma and relational wounds
- Feeling different, disconnected or isolated
- Navigating life, work, or relationships as a neurodivergent person
- My approach is warm, down-to-earth and trauma-informed. I often integrate gentle somatic (body-based) awareness where helpful, especially when working with trauma or sensory sensitivity.
I’ve previously worked in mental health crisis services and with women impacted by sexual violence, and I welcome clients with complex trauma backgrounds.
Practical info:
- Sessions are held online via Zoom and last 60 minutes
- I also offer walk-and-talk sessions in North Warwickshire and Coventry
- Sessions take place weekly or fortnightly
- I offer a free 15-minute phone call to see if we’re a good fit
If you’re looking for a space where you can truly be yourself, feel free to get in touch when you're ready.

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.
