Support for neurodiversity
Being autistic myself, I know firsthand how challenging, isolating, and overwhelming it can feel to navigate a world that often assumes everyone is neurotypical—no matter your age.
But with the right support, neurodiversity can be embraced as just one of the many things that make you who you are—a unique and valuable piece of a bigger picture. My goal is to help you (or your child) feel empowered, confident, and proud of who you are.
Our work together starts with understanding and accepting the full picture of who you are, autism and neurodiversity included. From there, we explore how autism shapes daily life, identify the barriers to living the life you want, and build a personalised toolkit of skills, strategies, and external support to navigate those challenges.
By the end of our time together, you (or your child) and those around you will have a deeper understanding of autism, practical ways to manage difficulties, and a greater sense of confidence in embracing neurodiversity.
Assessment
All Occupational Therapy starts with an assessment, for the therapist to get a good overview of what's going on for you, and your goals and needs.
This may look like:
Consultation Assessment - £195 :
if much of the information can be gathered from the person (recommended for 12+ years old, and adult).
Comprehensive Assessment - £550 :
if for a younger child and/or if a full assessment report will be needed.
Enhanced Assessment - £695:
if the assessment and report is needed to contribute to an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
In addition, being trained to deliver the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) means that I can apply this knowledge to my work, helping individuals understand their unique autistic profile—their strengths, challenges, and how their traits present in day-to-day life. This insight can support self-awareness, guide next steps, and inform tailored strategies for navigating the world.
Support for individuals
Regardless of the need and piece of work, session packages will follow the same format:
At the assessment stage, a suggested block of sessions will be recommended to achieve the work identified.
This number may change depending on the progress within sessions - sometimes fewer sessions are needed, sometimes more.
Each block of sessions will be different depending on the person's needs, but there will be common themes running through each one, which are:
Autism and me
How autism affects my daily life
My personal toolkit
Sessions are weekly or, sometimes, fortnightly.
They allow for up to an hour with the individual, with up to 15 minutes for discussion or feedback to the parent/carer if appropriate.
Sessions are £95, inclusive of all additional resources, work and support outside of the sessions.
Support for families
Especially when working with young people, the adults around them count as a huge part of their support network, and as such it is important that they are supported too.
I do this by offering two consultations with the parent/carer, as well as giving them access to my growing series of audios for parents of teenagers on a range of issues from normal teenage development to issues such as anxiety, along with a series on supporting the parent to reflect and look after themselves as well as possible too.
When I work with a young person, all of this is included in the session price and is not extra.
