Autism Counselling in Cleethorpes

Many people reach a point where they realise they can’t keep going the way they have been — and they’re ready for clarity, not clichés.

Welcome. I am an HCPC-registered Music Psychotherapist, which means our sessions don't have to rely solely on finding the "perfect" words to explain how you feel.

You do not need to be musical or know how to play an instrument to work with me. This is a space where all of you is welcome, exactly as you are, whether we are talking, listening, or playing music.

With a background in SEND Education and as a parent of two autistic children, I understand that the process needs to be as stress-free as possible.
Play Therapy supports children with challenging behaviour, mental health difficulties, or adverse experiences. It doesn’t rely on words and the children do not need emotional literacy to express or process their experiences and begin to move forward. It goes at their own pace and the children move past difficult experiences without being overwhelmed.

Starting therapy can be such a challenging and confusing time - I know it was for me, yet it completely changed my life! I personally don't believe there is an 'ideal client', I believe that anyone who is brave enough to start therapy, even if they're a little sceptical, can benefit from the experience. I believe that the key to growth is simply being open to self-exploration, with someone who cares about your best interest. I know how important working with a therapist that is right for you is, which is why I offer a free telephone consultation to help you decide if I would be right for you.

I am incredibly passionate about Counselling. I myself suffered a life changing injury, leaving me with long term disabilities and stripping me of my whole identity. I aim to initially narrow the gap creating a divide between disabled and abled people, as I believe this creates oppression within society, that can strip individuals of their autonomy. I understand how it can feel being pushed outside, fighting to get in and be recognised. It can be truly detrimental to a persons wellbeing, self-esteem and ultimately their entire being, them as a person.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure why certain emotions or body sensations keep showing up. Many people I work with feel disconnected from themselves or stuck in overwhelming patterns they can’t quite explain, often for a long period of time. I offer a calm, supportive space to explore what’s happening in your body and nervous system, helping you feel more grounded, regulated and connected again. This way of working can be particularly helpful if anxiety, stress or trauma show up physically through tension, fatigue, pain or shutdown.

What is the most effective treatment for autism?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has come to be considered the standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder, and research has confirmed its effectiveness for many children. Therapists trained in ABA techniques work with children (and their parents) on developing social skills, communication and learning abilities, and everyday habits of hygiene and grooming. The clinician will tailor their program to the child’s particular need but the overarching goal will be to help them advance as far as possible toward independence based on their level of symptoms and decrease the need for additional special services. Families should seek a mental health professional specifically trained in ABA, and holding special certification in the technique, who has extensive experience not only with the approach but in using it with children with the same level of symptoms as the child who needs care.
How does ABA work?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions, which typically focus on positive reinforcement, can be intensive, lasting two or more hours several times a week, and continuing for two years or more. Therapists can also be expected to ask parents to take an active role in reinforcing lessons. Research has found that the technique can lead to major improvements that decrease the need for additional special services.
How does treatment for autism work?
Therapy sessions based on Applied Behavior Analysis will likely be frequent, intensive, and highly structured. After a thorough assessment, a therapist will help a child understand and develop skills in a range of areas, including communication, motor skills, social skills, self-care, play, and academic skills, as well as routines of daily living like hygiene. Typically, the therapist will help a child break down the components of a behavior—often referred to as the antecedent (what prompts an action), the behavior, and the consequence(what immediately follows)—and then reward the child at every step, while also asking parents to reinforce the lessons, and the rewards, throughout the day. This core therapy may be supplemented by occupational or speech therapy, and antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants may be prescribed to address specific severe symptoms.
How long does therapy for autism take?
Some people with autism spectrum disorder may be engaged in some level of therapy for many years, but research shows that treatment will be most effective if it is begun early and delivered intensively. When therapy begins by age 3, children tend to be better able to grasp and adopt the skills needed to manage everyday life, including attending school and establishing social relationships. This type of early-intervention treatment regimen is highly structured, typically involving 20 to 40 hours of one-on-one therapy per week, along with additional hours of engagement managed by parents, for a period of two years or more, although the duration of treatment is dependent on the child’s level of symptoms and pace of progress.
