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.

Autism
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.

As an autistic therapist, I offer neurodivergent-affirming counselling for autistic adults, including late-diagnosed and self-identified autistic clients.

Sarah Bickle
Registered Psychotherapist, MPsy., R.P.
Navigating life with ADHD, Austism, or other neurodivergent traits can often feel like a journey of self-discovery and adaptation. I personally understand these challenges, both from my own experience and from years of working with neurodivergent individuals. My approach blends an understanding of neuroscience with a compassionate, creative framework to support your unique needs. Whether you’re looking to enhance focus, develop coping strategies, heal related wounds, or explore how neurodivergence affects aspects of your life like sexuality, I work alongside you to develop a personalized, sustainable approach. My flexibility and experience in this area can help you feel empowered to thrive.
