I provide therapeutic support for those with Asperger syndrome, or high functioning autism, and their families and carers. I begin by meeting with my clients to assess what is appropriate for their needs and then agree a programme of therapy and/or support. I use a person-centred approach and solution focused methods, together with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy where appropriate. I also use my personal experience of having a family member with Asperger syndrome. I work from a complementary health centre in Clifton Bristol, but am also available on telephone or Skype. My counselling approach is hypnotherapy; integrative; person centred; and solution focused. Counselling for children and young people with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) starts from 12 years old upwards.
