Autism
Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
People with Autistic or Aspergers' symptoms are often the most sensitive among us. Life often feels much 'louder' and difficult to cope with but they can learn how to control those symptoms. There is so much we can do to 'normalize' these symptoms.

Freedom of Expression Counselling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RCSW, T.S., RPT, CPT
I have supported people with autism and Asperger's for the last 9 years. It is very prevalent amongst many populations. I work on the specific presentations of autism and Asperger's brought forth and collaboratively design customized strategies to support individuals living their best lives in alignment with their values.

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
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.

Yanna Martinek
Counsellor/Therapist, R.C.C.
I work with autistic individuals navigating the impact of long-term masking and burnout. Many clients come feeling exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of what their needs actually are after years of adapting to others. Therapy focuses on gently untangling learned patterns of masking, rebuilding a sense of self-trust, and nervous system recovery.
