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.

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

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.

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!
