Counselling online can work very well for people with autism. It reduces the sensory difficulties and anxieties that can be a part of meeting a counsellor face to face. It also means that there can be access to a counsellor with AS specialist knowledge and understanding, despite being beyond your immediate geographical area. People on the spectrum are all individuals, so differ enormously and respond to a variety of counselling skills online that meet their individual need.

Presenter
I am a director of Online Training for Counsellors and Silverleaf Counselling. Prior to counselling, I did degrees in psychology and education, then worked as a teacher with many and varied differences in learning and processing. I’m a BACP accredited counsellor, supervisor, and tutor in online counselling and supervision. My special interests are autistic spectrum, ADHD, and other neuro processing issues. I have over 26 years of experience in working with autism, have an adult son on the spectrum, and am also on the spectrum myself. I trained online with Online Training for Counsellors in counselling and supervision, love to share my enthusiasm for this platform for working with others, and am committed to making counselling and supervision accessible to all.
