Alison Edwards FMBPsS Psychologist, Supervisor & ADHD Specialist
Psychologist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc, CBT/ ACT/ CFT/ SFBT Therapist
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.

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.

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!

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.
