Autism
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.

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!

Autism
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.

Autism
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.

Derby is a major hub for aerospace and advanced engineering — home to Rolls-Royce's civil aerospace headquarters and a substantial precision manufacturing sector — creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular occupational pressures of high-stakes technical industries, including shift work stress, contractor uncertainty, and the psychological weight of safety-critical work. The city's diverse population includes large South Asian and Eastern European communities that drive growing demand for multilingual and culturally affirming therapists. Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Allestree, Mickleover, and the city centre. The University of Derby's psychology and counselling programmes supply training pipelines into the local clinical community.
