Autism and Asperger's
Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, RPC, MPCC
I define myself as a “neurodiversity affirming therapist” and feel absolutely honoured to work with neurodiverse individuals and couples. This means I understand and work with autism, ADHD and other neurodiverse groups through the lens of neuroscience. Autism is associated with differences in the brain which result in a divergence from neurotypical standards, in terms of how brains filter and make sense of information. I endeavour to help clients shed misplaced humiliation and a sense of failure by becoming conscious of and removing the notion that ‘typical’ traits are superior. It is the neurodiverse individuals in our society that move humanity along.

Claire Benade
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Autism can create a variety of challenges for individuals. I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamics (if relevant) to ensure the best support for everyone. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.

Julie McLennan
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CCPCPR
Autistic traits can have a huge impact on quality of life. If you have had a late diagnosis or if you suspect that you may have stepped onto the Autism Spectrum, we can explore that and make sure you are living a life that is meaningful to you rather than spending all your time and energy trying to pass as neurotypical.
