People with an ASD or associated difficulties have many special and amazing qualities and abilities which often get overlooked or remain unnoticed. Their behaviour is highly challenging and every family who lives with someone on the spectrum knows first hand the toil it takes on the whole house. in addition many people have struggled all their lives trying to fit in and wondering why life is so exhausting and challenging. Why packing a suitcase can feel so overwhelming or why can they never remember to take washing out of the machine. I offer help, support, acceptance and guidance to help in all areas of their lives.

I have always believed that rather than focusing on what people are unable to manage, I try and look beyond their difficulties, find a starting point and then slowly teach them skills at a pace and level appropriate for each individual. Working carefully with someone in this way encourages trust and enables a good relationship to be built so that they can then be encouraged to gently and willingly allow me to accept them in “their world” and help them move forwards, growing in confidence, acceptance and self esteem.
