The Autism Dialogue Approach - a unique blend of neurodiversity-affirming coaching and counselling.
I created a blend of coaching and counselling for autistic people, and I’ve helped hundreds of people. The Autism Dialogue Approach (ADA) is a unique blend of neurodiversity-affirming coaching and counselling. ADA is designed for autistic people and families (and is totally adaptable for anyone) to talk through issues, regain perspective and increase energy and happiness. You can reclaim your life as a healthy and self-aware person.
I offer help with:
Autistic Burnout
Stress and anxiety
Socially drained
Going through a rough time
Family and relationships
Personal problems
Pre-diagnosis and newly-diagnosed support
Curious about going for an assessment or not
Work and study blocks
Vision fulfilment and making big decisions
Working out who you are and what you want to be
Spirituality
Help for parents and familes of autistic people
Support for other therapists and coaches starting work in autism
Our sessions are centred on your experience to explore the way forward together from a strengths-based perspective. This may be different to support you have previously experienced and some people find a huge sense of relief when they realise they don’t need to be ‘fixed’.
You will have quality time to talk and think in confidence, to help you recover, get support in taking the right action, and make the changes you want and need. I will be with you every step of the way – helping you recover and celebrate changes and a new life.
Increasing your self-awareness can be scary, but with proper support it can be done. I know because I’ve done it. I have a lifetime of autistic / ADHD experience and since also training in autism, counselling and coaching, I have supported many people. I have also trained many other coaches, therapists and counsellors.
After an initial chat, sessions are usually one-hour and can be weekly or fortnightly, on Zoom.
