AUTISM (ASC)Autism, or Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), is a condition that affects how people think, communicate, and interact with others. It’s called a "spectrum" because it can look different for each person—some might need a lot of support, while others may need very little.
People with autism might find social situations tricky, have trouble understanding body language or emotions, and often prefer routines or familiar activities. Sensory issues are common too, like being overwhelmed by bright lights or certain sounds. Though they face challenges, many people with autism have unique strengths, like attention to detail or creativity. contact me |
ADHDADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a condition that affects how people focus, control impulses, and manage their energy. It’s common in both children and adults and can show up in different ways.
There are three main types of ADHD: Inattentive Type: People with this type struggle to pay attention, get easily distracted, and may forget things often. Hyperactive-Impulsive Type: This type involves acting without thinking, feeling restless, and having trouble staying still or quiet. Combined Type: This is when someone has both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms. People with ADHD often find it tough to stay organised, complete tasks on time, or manage emotions. They might also feel overwhelmed by everyday things that others find easy. It can affect school, work, relationships, and self-esteem. With the right support and coping strategies, though, many people with ADHD can thrive. contact me |
COUNSELLINGCounselling can be really helpful for people with autism by offering a safe space to talk about their feelings, challenges, and experiences. It helps them understand their emotions, manage anxiety or stress, and develop coping skills.
I can also support social skills development and teach strategies for dealing with sensory sensitivities or communication differences. It’s all about providing guidance and tools to make life a bit easier and more manageable, helping you feel more confident in your day-to-day interactions. Counselling can help people with ADHD by providing support to manage their symptoms. I offer strategies for staying focused, organising tasks, and handling emotions. I can teach coping techniques, help with time management, and work on improving communication skills. Plus, I provide a safe space to talk about any challenges, help you build self-awareness and confidence. Overall, counselling can help make life feel more manageable and balanced. contact me |
