Autism Support Adults
Having an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or being neurodiverse means you may experience difficulties in areas like social interaction and communication, have a fixed thinking style, repetitive behaviours, few interests, obsessive tendencies, difficulty with change, problems with emotional regulation, and sensory problems (like over or under sensitivity to light, sound, or colour).
All of those on the autism spectrum have their own unique experience of autism, which varies from person to person, and can be different in men and women.
Getting the right support will help you unlock a better understanding of your symptoms and change behaviours so that day to day life will be less challenging in ways.
We establish strategies and goals so that you can enhance your communication skills in social settings, understand what others are trying to convey and express yourself better, this will greatly impact your overall life quality and experience.
Currently, we do not offer testing for autism. If however, you have been diagnosed, we can support you using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
This helps us get a deeper understanding of your thoughts and how you feel as this is what impacts and influences behaviour. Through the process of therapy you can gain a richer understanding about yourself, and how you interact and perceive others’ communication.
Ultimately, our aim is to work with you step by step so you can start to progress towards a happier life. We recommend weekly therapy sessions, which last 50 minutes.
- Gain awareness of your triggers
- Learn to manage stressful situations
- Learn how to manage difficult scenarios
- Enhance the quality of communication and social interactions with friends and family
- Adjust unhelpful ways of thinking, such as negative thinking, irrational thoughts, or black and white thinking
- Better manage social anxiety
- Enhance life and wellbeing
Having access to the right autism services is key. It can help individuals feel more in control, feel better understood, and therefore, feel happier.
You can learn to better understand yourself and others, whether they are family, friends, or others that you come across daily. As you learn strategies and gain insights, week by week , you will begin to understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This will facilitate a fuller, more satisfying life.

It’s normal to feel angry sometimes, and it should be said that anger in and of itself is not a ‘negative’ or ‘bad’ emotion, it has its purpose. If however, it’s impacting your life in a negative way then it may be useful to learn about the help available.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that is sometimes referred to as hyperkinetic disorder. It is less diagnosed in women than men, and around 3-5% of children and 2% of adults are thought to be impacted by it. In the UK, ADHD only became recognised as a valid condition in 2000 when the National Institute of Clinical Excellence released their report on the condition.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that occurs due to differences in the brain, otherwise known as neurodiversity. Neurodivergent people who are ‘on the spectrum’ will often experience problems with social communication and interaction. Neurotypical people (that is, those who do not have an ASD) may find it difficult to understand the behaviours of those affected by autism.
Life is challenging, so it’s normal to feel low at times. If however, you’re feeling sad, apathetic, and hopeless for a prolonged period, you may be depressed, and this impacts functioning. And although depression is a natural response to difficulties, it can be treated.
The family unit is like a society, with its own ecosystem and culture. If we’re fortunate, we may experience a family life that is secure and sustaining, but there are still times of difficulty, because this is normal. There are ways, however, to work through problems together, and come out stronger.
Relationships can be tricky at the best of times, and it’s normal to go through difficulties. But relationship counselling is available to help you navigate the challenges and enjoy a more meaningful connection with your significant other.
