Kajal Sohal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP-C
Do you sometimes feel misunderstood, overwhelmed by sensory experiences, or exhausted from trying to fit into a world that doesn't always understand how you think, feel, or communicate? Whether you identify as autistic, have received an Asperger's diagnosis, or are exploring what neurodivergence means for you, you deserve a counselling experience that respects and celebrates your individuality.
With over seven years of experience supporting children and adults with diverse developmental and behavioural needs, I bring a compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming perspective to counselling. Rather than viewing autism as something that needs to be fixed, I focus on understanding your unique experiences, recognizing your strengths, and helping you navigate challenges in ways that honour who you are.
Together, we can explore sensory overwhelm, emotional regulation, social relationships, self-advocacy, burnout, and building confidence in your authentic identity. My approach is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and adapted to your individual communication style and comfort level.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Punjabi, creating a welcoming space where you don't have to mask or change who you are to feel accepted. I'd love to support you in building a life that works for you, on your own terms.

Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
I am a late diagnosed therapist who has an ADHD diagnosis so I know first hand the challenges that self-diagnosed and medically diagnosed neurodivergent people face. I have found that neurodivergent clients naturally gravitate towards me, and now I have my diagnosis it all makes sense! It’s so lovely being able to have that immediate understanding of things that neurotypical people just don’t experience, saving the need to over explain and welcoming in supposed “weirdness”. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

Jade at We Tackle Trauma
Counsellor/Therapist, MAASW, MSW, QTS, BSc (Hons)
Hello, I offer a neuro-affirming non-directive therapeutic approach to co-create support and therapy in a way that aligns with your preferences. I am trained and experienced in supporting individuals who identify with a range of autism labels (including non-verbal, 'autistic', and ‘Aspergers’), PDA profiles, and other neurodiversity; and I myself identify as neurodiverse. My toolkit blends creative and integrative therapies, somatic and regulatory practices, and a teaching background (health, mental health, and disability education teaching specialisms). I utilise this skillset to fully tailor my approach to your (or your child’s) preferred communication and engagement style. I have also completed multiple specialist training courses to assist me in working with a trauma-informed, strength-based, person-centred approach. Please make contact, to arrange a free no pressure consultation and find out more. I very much look forward to hearing from you, Jade

Alison Edwards FMBPsS Psychologist, Supervisor & ADHD Specialist
Psychologist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc, CBT/ ACT/ CFT/ SFBT Therapist
I’m experienced in working with autistic clients and clients who have been given a diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome or ASD. I can tailor therapy sessions for all mental health problems according to the individual client’s needs. I have also provided counselling and CBT for clients whose children or wider family members have autism, and supported them with the challenges that have arisen in their family. I'm experienced in working with autistic clients who struggle with addictions and problematic use of video games and Chat GPT. I also specialise in CBT for ADHD/ ADD. I've been invited to speak on an expert panel on Neurodivergence in the workplace, at a large regional business show.

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.
