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.

Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Autism is experienced differently by everyone, and finding support that genuinely understands your individual needs can make a meaningful difference. Whether you or your child are navigating sensory sensitivities, communication differences, emotional regulation challenges, social relationships, or difficulty adjusting to change, you deserve a supportive environment where your experiences are understood and respected.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I bring extensive experience supporting autistic children and individuals with diverse developmental and behavioural needs. My background includes working as a Behaviour Interventionist, providing individualized support in educational settings, and collaborating with families, teachers, and multidisciplinary teams. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of the importance of recognizing individual strengths, adapting support strategies, and respecting different ways of experiencing the world.
My counselling approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. Rather than viewing autism as something that needs to be corrected, I focus on understanding each person's unique experiences, challenges, and goals. Together, we can explore emotional regulation, anxiety, self-esteem, communication, self-advocacy, and strategies for navigating everyday situations with greater confidence.
I also recognize the important role that family relationships, cultural expectations, and support systems can play in an autistic person's well-being. Whether you're seeking counselling for yourself or support for your child, my goal is to create a collaborative space where individual differences are respected and meaningful growth can occur.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to help you or your loved one build confidence, strengthen connections, and feel supported in navigating life's challenges.

Beth Jackson Counselling and Coaching
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (hons), Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Diploma in Clinical Supervision
Fortunately today there is much greater understanding about autism, although this may not be your story. If autism is part of who you are and how you think then learning to live with and love that element of yourself is key and I can help with that.

Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
Autism, like ADHD and dyslexia, rarely arrives alone, and in adult women it's often missed entirely, masked for years behind coping strategies that looked, from the outside, like just being sensitive or shy or perfectionistic. If you're recognising pieces of yourself here, formally diagnosed or not, my practice is neurodivergent-affirming: we don't start from what needs fixing, we start from how your mind actually works, and build from there.
