Specialist Therapy for Autistic Adults & Adolescents
I provide specialist counselling and psychotherapy for Autistic individuals, offering a safe, affirming space where you don’t have to mask, explain, or justify your experiences. Whether you’ve been diagnosed, self-identify as Autistic, or are exploring the possibility, my therapy approach is designed specifically for neurodivergent minds.
Who I Work With
Autistic Adults (18+)
Many Autistic adults come to therapy after years of masking, burnout, or feeling misunderstood. Therapy provides a space to:
- Recover from burnout and navigate sensory overload.
- Explore identity and unmasking safely.
- Manage anxiety, depression, and overwhelm in ways that work for Autistic minds.
- Address executive function challenges, including motivation, organization, and time management.
- Develop self-advocacy skills for work, relationships, and daily life.
Autistic Adolescents (15+)
For young people, therapy provides psychoeducation and emotional regulation strategies that respect and affirm their neurodivergence. Sessions focus on:
- Understanding Autism in a positive, affirming way.
- Building self-confidence and reducing anxiety.
- Developing coping strategies for school, social situations, and transitions.
- Creating a support plan that works for them, rather than forcing neurotypical expectations.
Late-Diagnosed & Self-Identified Autistic Individuals
Many people discover they are Autistic later in life, sometimes after years of struggling with anxiety, depression, or feeling “different.” Therapy can help you:
- Process your diagnosis or self-discovery.
- Understand how Autism shapes your experiences and what that means for you.
- Unlearn harmful coping mechanisms developed to mask your neurodivergence.
An Autism-Friendly Therapy Approach
Many traditional therapy models don’t work for Autistic clients because they focus on changing behaviors rather than understanding them. My approach is different. I use:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adapted for Autism—focusing on practical strategies, not forcing change.
- Psychoeducation on masking, burnout, and self-acceptance.
- A strengths-based approach that values Autistic ways of thinking and processing the world.
- Sensory-aware therapy, making sure sessions are comfortable and accessible.
A Space Designed for You
I understand that the therapy environment matters. My practice is:
- Sensory-friendly, with adjustable lighting and sound.

- Available for online sessions, so you can access therapy from wherever you feel most comfortable.

Testimonial
“Our Son is 14 with ASD and Anxiety. Our son has been having sessions now for months with Robert and they have formed an absolutely fantastic relationship. He loves meeting Robert in his therapy room and using the sensory lighting to suit his mood. He like chilling and chatting on the massive bean bags, and often I have trouble getting him to leave after the sessions. He often goes into therapy in bad mood but always comes out happy. I cannot recommend Robert enough, he has helped our son so much”.
