Counselling for People with Autism in York

Autism Counselling in York

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by a variety of social, communication, and sensory processing challenges.

Everyone on the spectrum experiences autism differently, with unique strengths and areas of difficulty.

At York Therapy Clinic, we provide counselling for those with ASD, recognising the distinct needs and strengths of each individual. Our team provide a safe and supportive environment, where you can explore your experiences and develop effective coping mechanisms.

Our Approach to Autism Counselling

Within our autism counselling, we create a safe and understanding space where you feel comfortable expressing yourself. Each of our therapists will work collaboratively with you, in order to identify your specific goals and challenges.

We use a variety of evidence-based therapies – including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – to build practical skills, with individual sessions available, as well as sessions involving partners or family members for a more comprehensive approach.

For those who may be unable to access in-person therapy or are uncomfortable doing so, we also offer online counselling remotely, via Skype, Zoom, or WhatsApp Video.
