I am a humanistic Gestalt counsellor, and I provide a counselling service for autistic and neurodivergent individuals (whether they have received a diagnosis or not). This includes, (and not limited to): Autism, ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome, Tourette’s Syndrome, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. I also provide a counselling service to family members, friends, carers, and the wider community that support autistic and neurodivergent individuals. Sessions are neuro-affirmative and LGBTQ+ friendly.I have experience of working with autistic and neurodivergent individuals and their families within a counselling capacity and as a specialist mentor. Being autistic and neurodivergent myself means that I can relate to, and have experienced first-hand, some of the opportunities and challenges resulting from being both autistic and neurodivergent.Maybe you would like support to:Understand what autism and neurodiversity may mean for you and your family. Explore whether you or a family member is autistic or neurodivergent. Work through feelings resulting from a late diagnosis or a misdiagnosis. Work through difficulties with social communication or with establishing, managing and sustaining relationships. Manage effectively in a workplace or education setting. Understand your sensory experiences and preferences. Whilst autistic or neurodivergent individuals will share certain characteristics, they will experience these differently. I modify the counselling sessions to accommodate your individual needs and I invite you to contact me to discuss your needs.In addition to my experience with neurodiversity I am experienced in working with a range of presenting issues including, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief and relationship difficulties.I offer short term and long term, online or telephone counselling sessions to adults of all ages within the UK. I also offer sessions face to face at my private practice, in Fareham, Hampshire. Sessions are available Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation to help you decide if I am the ‘right’ counsellor for you.For more information please visit my website: http://www.hycounselling.co.uk or contact me at 07874810357 or info@hycounselling.co.uk

Our team is Psychologist-led, neurodivergent and brings both professional expertise and lived experience to the assessment process.Assessments are completed by a multidisciplinary team of qualified clinicians and follow NICE guidance and DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. We take a thorough, whole-person approach, looking beyond diagnostic criteria to understand masking, sensory differences, executive functioning, mental health, relationships, education, employment and everyday life. We consider co-occuring and differential diagnoses.We also provide post-diagnostic support, including neurodivergent-affirming support, coaching, sensory and functional assessments, educational support and workplace recommendations.Our aim is to provide women and girls with more than a diagnosis: a meaningful understanding of themselves, their strengths, their needs and the support that can help them move forward. Each assessment includes a minimum of three clinicians and each report includes a full neurodiversity profile, functional assessment and recommendations.Services: Autism Assessments | ADHD Assessments | Combined Assessments | Post-Diagnostic Support Delivery: Remote, UK-wide Specialism: Women & girls | Late diagnosis | High masking | Complex presentations
