Jason Fletcher Hypnotherapy and Coaching
Hypnotherapist, FNCIP SQHP
In work with Autism and Asperger’s, the focus is on supporting emotional regulation, anxiety, and overwhelm rather than trying to change who you are. I adapt sessions to your pace and communication style, respecting neurodiversity and individual needs. Therapy provides a structured and supportive space to build greater comfort, understanding, and emotional stability.

Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Autism can shape how you experience emotions, relationships, communication, sensory overwhelm, routine, change, and the world around you. Many autistic people spend years feeling misunderstood, masking, pushing themselves too hard, or wondering why life seems more difficult for them than it does for other people. I also have personal experience of autism and PDA traits, so I understand how difficult it can be to live with chronic overwhelm, burnout, sensitivity, shame, or feeling constantly misunderstood. My approach is affirming, thoughtful, and tailored to the individual. I work with you to understand yourself more deeply, embrace your differences rather than fight them, and build a life that feels more manageable, authentic, and sustainable. A diagnosis can sometimes bring enormous relief and help things finally make sense. At the same time, I do not believe people should feel boxed in by labels or start to see themselves only through the lens of a diagnosis. What matters most is helping you feel understood, validated, empowered, and more able to work with who you are rather than against yourself.

Alison Edwards Therapy & Supervision
Psychologist, CBT Therapist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc
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.

Portsmouth is one of the United Kingdom's great naval cities — home to HMNB Portsmouth, the Royal Navy's primary surface fleet base, and the historic dockyard where HMS Victory is berthed — and its therapy community is substantially shaped by the needs of Royal Navy personnel, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, trauma, and the emotional challenges of service life. The city is densely populated and has experienced significant post-industrial economic challenges, with therapists frequently addressing economic stress, housing precarity, and the mental health effects of communities carrying long-term deprivation. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Southsea and the residential suburbs north of the city centre. The University of Portsmouth's psychology programmes supply clinical training to the local community.
