Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future Counselling Centre, I specialize in providing compassionate support and effective therapy for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Asperger's syndrome. My approach to autism and Asperger's therapy is highly individualized, focusing on each person's strengths, needs, and goals. I create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can express themselves freely and explore their emotions and experiences without judgment. Using evidence-based practices such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), social skills training, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and sensory integration techniques, I help individuals with autism and Asperger's develop essential life skills, improve social interactions, and manage sensory sensitivities. I work closely with clients, families, and other support professionals to create comprehensive treatment plans that address the unique needs of each individual. My priority is building self-esteem, fostering independence, and promoting positive relationships to help individuals with autism and Asperger's lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or a loved one with autism or Asperger's, I'm here to help. Contact me today to learn more about my specialized therapy services and take the first step towards a brighter future.

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
I define myself as a “neurodiversity affirming therapist” and feel absolutely honoured to work with neurodiverse individuals and couples. This means I understand and work with autism, ADHD and other neurodiverse groups through the lens of neuroscience. Autism is associated with differences in the brain which result in a divergence from neurotypical standards, in terms of how brains filter and make sense of information. I endeavour to help clients shed misplaced humiliation and a sense of failure by becoming conscious of and removing the notion that ‘typical’ traits are superior. It is the neurodiverse individuals in our society that move humanity along.

Sophia Kopelow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
As your counsellor, I will explore your experiences through a neurodivergent-affirming lens and do not believe you need “fixing” in any way. Rather, I believe you have unique gifts to bring to the world. I help clients unpack what it's like to be neurodivergent in a neuro-normative society and develop the confidence and skills needed to navigate future challenges successfully. I am passionate about empowering clients to step into the truth of who they are unapologetically and with self acceptance. I support clients struggling with emotional regulation, overstimulation, relationships, self worth, and processing experiences of going undiagnosed and/or being misdiagnosed during your formative years. I offer in-person, virtual or walk and talk therapy. I would love to hear from you—head to my website to book your free 20-minute consultation.
