Autism Doctor
providing accessible, individualized, and neurodiversity-affirming care for autistic adults and AuDHDs, empowering them to thrive in a hostile world.
Who I am…
I work exclusively online, with high-"functional", high-masking professionals from all walks of life. Flexibility, originating from client-centred approach is the most distinctive indeed, distinguishing - feature of my service.
Dogmatic persistence with one method, which may not be suitable for the particular individual, is one of the most common reasons for client’s disengagement. I learnt that ND clients require the therapist to be particularly flexible - perhaps, to compensate for the client's anxiety. Correspondingly, I have been working using a combination of approaches and ideas. Although to me, personally, the ideas of Carl Jung and existential philosophy of Irvin Yalom make most sense, I am neither a Jungian analyst, nor an existential therapist. In general, I find that Autistic/ADHD/AûDHD clients respond best to a mixed approach, which offers a combination of intellectual exploration of neurodiversity and neurodivergence, plus support with emotional management, based on an individualised balance of methods of CBT, ACT, TA & Somatic approach (to increase the client's sense of embodiment and improving their interoceptive sensibility).
Regardless of the particular combination of methods and ideas used, all my client work is rooted in unconditional positive regard for the client who honours me by choosing me as a vehicle to enact change in their life.
