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.

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.

Preston is Lancashire's administrative centre and a city shaped by its industrial past — once a major cotton manufacturing centre — that has evolved into a hub for public services, healthcare, and the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), one of the UK's largest universities. UCLan's significant student population generates consistent mental health demand and clinical training pipelines, and the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services. Preston's large South Asian and Eastern European communities — including one of the UK's largest Gujarati communities — drive sustained demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists. The city's working-class character and post-industrial economic challenges mean therapists frequently address depression, economic stress, and intergenerational family dynamics alongside student and professional concerns.
