Autism Counselling in NW3
I offer a supportive, creative and honest environment to explore what it is like being you. Whether it's anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or something you don't have a word for yet, what's really important in therapy is the relationship that we build together. We'll work collaboratively to find an approach works for you and supports you to move towards meaningful change. While I work with a wide range of conditions or concerns, I have particular experience working alongside clients with ADHD and autism, people with disabilities/ health conditions and gender, sexuality and relationship diversity.

Choosing a therapist can be a stressful process, and it's difficult to decide which kind of therapy to try. Many people find it helpful to work with a therapist who has trained in more than one therapy, who can switch to a different therapy when needed, and who can tailor sessions according to your needs. You can have a phone consultation with me to discuss what you are looking for and ask questions. 16 years experience in supporting neurodivergent clients (with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia or other difficulties) led me to further training in autism, and specialised CBT and ACT for ADHD and emotional regulation problems.

Helping children with early symptoms of the autistic spectrum has been my life’s work. My goal as the Principal of the Parent-Infant Clinic and of the School of Infant Mental Health in London is to help parents and professionals identify the early signs in autistic spectrum, for it is in these early stages, which can be seen as early as 3 months, when the greatest results can be achieved. I am a practicing adult and child psychotherapist, having worked in the National Health Service and privately for 32 years on detecting early signs in the autistic spectrum and providing early treatment to children and adults.

Therapy is individual, not off the peg… When we feel that those around us do not understand us, or do not accept us, it can feel like a lonely, uphill struggle. I have a long-held interest in what makes us all tick, and the strategies that we can access to better manage the ups and downs in our lives. It has become evident to me, through many life changes, that we work much better together than we do alone.

Do you need help untangling things? Maybe you are feeling a little lost, stuck or misunderstood? Or perhaps you are feeling low or anxious or even full of rage?

Or perhaps you are struggling with your health, eating or body image and would like an easier relationship with food, eating and your body? Then I may be able to help.

"I just want to talk about everything that is going on...!". "I want to be happy". "I am looking for a place to vent". "Some days the world is too big". "I do not know what is happening to me". "I am sad". "I am anxious". "I am stressed". "Work is too much". "I feel lonely". "I have a problem with my partner, friends, children, teachers, family, work colleagues...". These are some of the things that I had heard from friends, relatives, colleagues, clients over the years when they are looking for a different point of view or extra support in their life.

I work with the full spectrum of human pain and confusion, from feeling lost about your life circumstances to symptoms of neurosis and psychosis. One of the fundamental tasks of therapy is to create a space where we can meet ourselves – to discover who we are. This is what I ultimately strive to create for my patients, in the human encounter of the therapy room (be it online or in person). All life issues are explored together, in a spirit of acceptance, dialogue and openness. In psychoterapy we can cry, or laugh – sometimes at the same time. We are human to human, with all our complexity, different and yet similar, unjudgementally.

I work with parents as a catalyst for change - helping them shift from surviving, to thriving. I empower parents to press pause and reconsider how they actually want family life to be, and how they want to get there. My coaching weaves the science of child development and psychology into the unique intricacies of each family situation, providing a truly tailored, and therefore, effective approach. Are you worried about your child's behaviour, well-being or learning? Do you find yourself doing or saying things as a parent you wish you didn't? Do you feel uncertain about how best to approach an issue with your child? I can help.

Creative psychotherapy helps people think, feel and express themselves in a less guarded way. I see individuals, couples, children and families and run retreats in the south of France. I am based near Chiddingfold, Haslemere and Godalming. Through an established and effective approach you are helped to feel at ease. When facing problems it can be difficult to be openly verbal as unconscious defences or intellectualising can inhibit engagement with the therapy. It can deflect true feelings. Psychotherapy has adapted by integrating techniques that draw on creativity to explore difficult or intangible thoughts and feelings.

Hello and welcome to my profile. I am an experienced therapist offering online therapy to individual adults of all ages. Therapy provides an opportunity to better understand ourselves, untangle inner conflicts and bring about positive change. I acknowledge that the environments we grew up in and what we experience as we move through the stages of our lives, can leave us with emotional wounds and unhealthy coping mechanisms. I am experienced in working with clients who wish to explore complex family dynamics and who have experienced emotional abuse. Another specialism is working with bereavement and loss.

What is the most effective treatment for autism?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has come to be considered the standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder, and research has confirmed its effectiveness for many children. Therapists trained in ABA techniques work with children (and their parents) on developing social skills, communication and learning abilities, and everyday habits of hygiene and grooming. The clinician will tailor their program to the child’s particular need but the overarching goal will be to help them advance as far as possible toward independence based on their level of symptoms and decrease the need for additional special services. Families should seek a mental health professional specifically trained in ABA, and holding special certification in the technique, who has extensive experience not only with the approach but in using it with children with the same level of symptoms as the child who needs care.
How does ABA work?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions, which typically focus on positive reinforcement, can be intensive, lasting two or more hours several times a week, and continuing for two years or more. Therapists can also be expected to ask parents to take an active role in reinforcing lessons. Research has found that the technique can lead to major improvements that decrease the need for additional special services.
How does treatment for autism work?
Therapy sessions based on Applied Behavior Analysis will likely be frequent, intensive, and highly structured. After a thorough assessment, a therapist will help a child understand and develop skills in a range of areas, including communication, motor skills, social skills, self-care, play, and academic skills, as well as routines of daily living like hygiene. Typically, the therapist will help a child break down the components of a behavior—often referred to as the antecedent (what prompts an action), the behavior, and the consequence(what immediately follows)—and then reward the child at every step, while also asking parents to reinforce the lessons, and the rewards, throughout the day. This core therapy may be supplemented by occupational or speech therapy, and antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants may be prescribed to address specific severe symptoms.
How long does therapy for autism take?
Some people with autism spectrum disorder may be engaged in some level of therapy for many years, but research shows that treatment will be most effective if it is begun early and delivered intensively. When therapy begins by age 3, children tend to be better able to grasp and adopt the skills needed to manage everyday life, including attending school and establishing social relationships. This type of early-intervention treatment regimen is highly structured, typically involving 20 to 40 hours of one-on-one therapy per week, along with additional hours of engagement managed by parents, for a period of two years or more, although the duration of treatment is dependent on the child’s level of symptoms and pace of progress.
