Our ASD Counselling Service supports people with their mental health, whether pre-existing issues have worsened or a new condition stemming from Autism.
Our specialist therapists understand the problems caused by a person’s mental & emotional health.
If you feel like you have ASD traits, you may see the world differently than most people. Perhaps, you feel uncomfortable being yourself in social or work settings. These feelings make life complicated, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, worthless, and hopeless.
If you have answered these questions & feel it broadly describes how you think and act, ASD counselling may be a great place to start to move forward healthily and confidently.
Do you want counselling but feel afraid the therapist won’t understand you or have previously tried therapy and felt like it was not helping?. Perhaps, you’re dealing with feelings of anxiety, depression, and imposter syndrome. Or, you’re struggling to cope with the effect that bullying and trauma had on your life. Whatever brings you to therapy, our autism counselling team can help you thrive and feel comfortable in your skin.
Counselling can help you manage the impact of autism with dignity and self-respect. Being supported by specialist therapists who understand you creates a robust platform for the counselling to be successful from the outset.
ASD counselling is not restricted to a single method of therapy. Each person can bring different presenting issues; one solution does not fit all. As a specialist service, we can support you no matter the problems.
Therapy can help you set goals to work towards, particularly during the initial stages. We know that goals & aspirations should be meaningful to your life and attainable and realistic. Our therapists will help develop such plans by setting achievable targets at each counselling stage. Goals often provide a sense of purpose structure (daily routine) and improve confidence and self-esteem.
Those who take care of people with ASD can also benefit from counselling. Making sacrifices to care for a loved one can lead to feelings of anxiety, stress, depression, and isolation. Counselling can provide helpful guidance and support on coping in the best way possible.
