The autistic therapist
Start with strengths and see possibilities...
My name is Lii. I am a late-identified autistic woman and a fully-qualified counsellor, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
As a therapist I specialise in supporting autistic adults with all aspects of navigating life.
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?

Therapeutic counselling for autistic adults
Whether you self-identify as autistic or have gone through a formal assessment, let me ask you...
Does it feel like for a long time you were forcing yourself into moulds that didn't fit? Perhaps you still are?
What if you were to make peace with your differences because they are just that--differences, not deficiencies?
If you are ready to move on from autistic and struggling to brilliantly autistic, you are in the right place.
Are you wondering what autism means to you?
Do people seem to misunderstand you often?
Have you been an outsider for as long as you can remember?
A bit about me
As a fellow autistic person I am likely to know first-hand how things are for you.
I wholeheartedly believe in the neurodiversity-affirmative perspective, which defines autism as a cognitive difference and not a condition to be endured.
I help you to:
-
discover your genuine self
-
manage emotions
-
negotiate fulfilling relationships
-
thrive at work
My previous clients said they had found the sessions beneficial and walked away with renewed hope.
Take a moment. Take a breath. Shall we talk?
Counselling delivered conveniently on weekday evenings online and on weekend afternoons in-person in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire.
What would you like your reality to feel like?
Autism is sadly still often seen as an impairment, as something to correct...Consider for a minute if you were to abandon the idea of your neurotype as a disorder. What if instead you embraced your uniqueness with all its strengths and, yes, some challenges too?
It may be useful for you to be truly heard, to talk through how you want your life to be and what you can do about it.

Life can be great. You will make it so. Welcome to the best neurotype there is--yours!
