Lii Brooke, autistic therapist
In person in Gerrards Cross and online across the UK and the Republic of Ireland
Is it better to choose an autistic counsellor if you are autistic?
As a fellow autistic person I am likely to understand you quickly. I know the life-long struggle of fitting in and the tension that comes with simply being in a busy space. So, yes, in my somewhat biased opinion, working with an autistic therapist can save you a lot of explaining.
My name is Lii Brooke. I am an autistic counsellor, data analyst and postgraduate researcher, offering in-person mental health therapy sessions in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, and online across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
I specialise in supporting autistic professionals in demanding careers to:
-
recover from and prevent burnout
-
safely reduce masking
-
manage rumintion, anxiety and depression
-
negotiate positive relationships
-
thrive at work
Love the intense flow of being absorbed in what truly interests you, be it coding or research? Find interruptions painful? I am with you.
You don't have to get through life exhausted, confused and misunderstood. Things can be better. Perhaps it's time to build on your strengths.
My clients walk away from sessions calm, confident and hopeful about their future.

"As an autistic person suffering with chronic anxiety, I came to Lii for support to cope with burnout associated with constant masking and the social difficulties of working in a high-pressure professional environment. Lii identified my deep-rooted need for self-compassion and approached the sessions with kindness and pragmatism that was very much needed. I am very grateful to have found Lii."
