Why Work With Me
I understand the late autism diagnosis journey from both a professional perspective and through lived experience. I have navigated my own late diagnosis and been an active peer supporter for other late-diagnosed autistics, so I know first-hand the relief, confusion, and identity shifts that can come with it.
I bring academic rigour alongside genuine understanding. With an MSc in Psychology, qualifications in mentoring and supporting autistic students, and 17 years of teaching experience, including extensive work supporting autistic teenagers in schools, I understand how to translate complex concepts into practical, accessible strategies.
More importantly, I’ve published peer-reviewed research specifically on what makes therapy effective for autistic adults. My study explored the positive experiences of late-diagnosed autistic women in therapy, using an appreciative inquiry methodology to understand what truly helps.
This combination of lived experience, professional expertise, and research evidence directly informs my practice, ensuring that our sessions are grounded in what actually works for autistic adults.
How We’ll Work Together
Video Calls
Online sessions from wherever feels comfortable. Flexible format, cameras optional, chat available if speaking feels difficult.
WhatsApp Support
Between-session support when you need it. Quick questions, check-ins, or just knowing you have a touchpoint available.
Email Access
Follow-up resources and written support. Processing things in writing can be easier than live conversation. Notetaker apps welcome.
Session Information
Session Format
Sessions are conducted online via video call (or phone/chat if you prefer). Everything is tailored to your preferences and needs – no pressure to make eye contact, no assumptions about communication style. You’re welcome to bring a notetaker, record sessions for your own use, or request written summaries of key points.
Duration and Flexibility
Sessions can be 1 hour or 90 minutes, depending on what works best for you. We can work together as a one-off, or on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis. The structure is completely flexible and tailored to your individual needs and circumstances.
What to Expect
No judgment about communication style, no expectations about what you “should” be able to do. Sessions are paced around your needs, with breaks when required. This is your space to process, explore, and work through things in whatever way feels right for you.
Pricing
60 minute session £100
