Therapy for autistic professionals

delivered by autistic therapist

Does your everyday leave you exhausted?

You might take pride in the ability to understand others' perspectives but desperately miss the same for yourself. 

 

Demands at work accumulate like compound interest?

You may love the technical challenges of your job but you certainly don't love the stuff that involves people. Meetings without agendas, murky undercurrents of office politics...You see it for what it is and you just can do without.

​

Are you feeling trapped?

Once the day job hours are over your chair swivels to the household reality of mess, loud noises, bright lights and yet more people wanting stuff from you. 

​

Or may be you come home to emptiness and wish somebody was there to talk to, to do your own stuff alongside.

​

Frustration simmers for a long time.

You explode with anger. Or you shut down. You even stop talking sometimes.

​

You have achieved so much. Status. Education. Respect. Perhaps built a family. But it is somehow hollow. And you are so profoundly alone.

 

​You ask yourself: "May be I should just accept that's how it is?"

 

​Life doesn't have to be got through.

You can choose purpose and authenticity. You can also create a lasting change for others.

​

If you are looking for a deep connection in your relationships, a sense of meaning and a new direction in life, you are in the right place.

"I started seeing Lii after being diagnosed with autism and feeling overwhelmed due to a significant change in my work life which lead to constant anxiety and a lot of all-or-nothing thinking . They've helped me to better understand those patterns and build more balanced ways of thinking, whilst also supporting me through the challenges of being autistic in the workplace. I found the environment safe, non judgemental and relaxed with any tips and advice given always practical. I’d highly recommend them to other autistic adults looking for support."

What would you like your life to be like?

You may have tried counselling before and it felt like yet another performance. Guessing the right thing to say. Stumped by open questions. And just outright sceptical of the whole thing?

 

My name is Lii. I am an autistic therapist and I am with you. I have been there too.

 

Of course your reality is unique and I cannot claim to know exactly what it is like. But there is a lot to be said for similarity of life experience and of cognitive styles. Recognition, comprehension and empathy come almost effortlessly.

 

Alongside running a counselling practice, I am a data analyst and a postgraduate researcher. I wholeheartedly support the LGBTQIA+ community and understand firsthand what it is like to have a complex cultural and ethnic heritage.

I help autistic professionals to:​

​

  • gain clarity on their autistic identity

  • raise self-esteem

  • find purpose

  • discover joy at work

  • negotiate positive relationships

  • create a legacy

 

We achieve this together by exploring your experiences, thoughts and emotions. We then define a realistic version of the future you would like to have and create a plan with actionable steps. It is an iterative process and I encourage you to use the sessions as ​accountability check-ins. 

 

Even though I specialise in working with autistic adults, especially those in tech and academia, I was trained as a mental health generalist. I also work with people of different neurotypes. ​If my message speaks to you, I would be very glad to help.

​

Do you need time alone like oxygen? Yet finding it in your hectic schedule seems impossible?

Does coding or research take you into a mesmorising state of flow? Wish you could have more of that? 

Would you like true understanding from your partner and friends? 

And what about autism?

There are a lot of views on being autistic, some of which are opposing. For transparency, here's mine. I strongly believe autism is a cognitive difference and not an impairment.

 

Start with strengths and see possibilities, start with struggles and see limitations. Which do you choose?

​

Previous clients gained calm, clarity and hope for the future. They left the sessions feeling optimistic and confident. Of course, sometimes circumstances are intractable. There is not a solution to be found but a genuine human compassion. In those instances we would focus on what can be done to offer you emotional relief.

​

​Life can be good. You will make it so. ​​

Therapy sessions all day Thursday and on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, in person in Gerrards Cross and online across the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Fee per session is £100.
