Asperger's Syndrome Counselling in Sheffield

Hi I’m Julie and I am a qualified person centred-counsellor and psychologist who also incorporates an integrative approach in to my practice. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I have over 20 years’ experience in working alongside and supporting clients with specific needs including Autism, ADHD and Aspergers Syndrome. My experience also includes supporting clients with chronic fatigue syndrome, ME, anxiety, grief and trauma and work is tailored to accommodate your individual needs to ensure you can become the best version of yourself.

I work online with people in the UK. I provide an accessible & compassionate service that reduces psychological distress and enables autistic people to address what is difficult in their lives. If we have not been understood and accepted we may develop ways of being and doing that do not support our well being. We keep our true selves hidden from others and whilst this protects us, it can cause much pain and limit us. With an understanding therapist we can trust, we begin to make sense of who we are, how we are and what has happened to us in our lives. We can be truer to ourselves and live with more confidence, ease and acceptance.

Choosing me as your counsellor. If you’re looking for a counsellor, you need to find someone who is going to be a good “fit” for you. I believe that the most important part of any counselling is having a good relationship with the therapist. You need to be able to trust me and feel comfortable talking to me about yourself. Otherwise you cannot get the best out of the experience. Contacting a counsellor for the first time can be daunting. You might be nervous or struggling to put things into words. It is okay if you are not quite sure what you want from this, I will do everything I can to put you at your ease.

The people I see pursue an assessment as they are experiencing difficulties in their lives and wonder if it may be due to Autism (previously Asperger’s syndrome) or ADHD. An assessment / diagnosis can provide understanding and help work towards change. I have over 19 years of experience of working with adults with Autism / Asperger syndrome and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) within the NHS and privately as a diagnostician and as a therapist and offer private Diagnostic Assessments for adults with possible Autism / Asperger syndrome and / or ADHD.

I specialise in working with people who find themselves misunderstood, unwanted and even frightening to others. Relationships are almost impossible and always full of conflict. When you work with me I will support you to manage your emotions, navigate the mysterious world of relationships and find your path.

For some time now you might have been struggling to make sense of how you are feeling and wish to talk things through with a professional. This could relate to difficulties with your mood and some behaviours you are not happy with and want to explore and work on these. Perhaps this was because of a recent event, or something that is related to your early childhood experiences, or even a combination of different life circumstances. You may be thinking that despite already seeking help for some of the issues that you have been facing, you feel unfulfilled and think that something is missing in terms of healing.

I have worked with children and adults in primary and secondary education and mental health for some years. During these varied experiences, I learnt that when I applied psychological thinking to a problem, it allowed the individual to gain an insight and develop a better understanding of how to manage and work towards overcoming their issues. I use this strategy frequently now and I really love to see people scaffolding clients to realise their true potential. Being a parent myself, I understand how challenging it can be navigating a neurodiversity in particular with little or no support. I can signpost you to assessment services.

In counselling you can speak to someone in confidence, who will listen as you talk through your thoughts feelings and problems. I offer a safe space where I will work with you to understand your difficulties without criticism or judgement. I can help you explore the things that are causing you trouble and come to a better understanding of yourself. Learning to accept and trust in yourself and your own natural inner resources, you will grow in confidence and self-esteem and draw on your own strengths to bring about real, meaningful change and growth.

Are you experiencing any of the following: anxiety, depression, PTSD symptoms, or phobias? Perhaps you are wanting to work out why patterns keep repeating in your relationships, or maybe you are a couple wanting to improve communication and intimacy. I am counsellor and trauma therapist, offering therapy to individuals, couples and groups. My main approach is a type of therapy called Transactional Analysis, which can be used to help us to understand ourselves and our relationships better, and find ways to make the changes we want. I also offer EMDR, a NICE approved therapy, for PTSD, Phobias, Anxiety, and many other issues.

Does anxiety control your life? Is everything just too overwhelming? Do you, or your child struggle to 'fit 'in? Have you lost your sense of direction or purpose?, or maybe you just don't feel 'good enough'. As a Person centred counsellor I will listen without judgement, empower and support you. 'You' are the expert, this is your life, your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviours are all important and extremely valid. Maybe your haunted by trauma, PTSD, phobias, bullying, nightmares or anxiety. By using Rewind therapy, together we can reframe the trauma and the fear offering you a happier, better quality of life.

If you are struggling with stress, family issues, anxiety or feeling sad and have experienced panic attacks and need someone to talk to then counselling could help. The service I offer is professional and confidential based on a person centered approach. I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), working with adults and young people. Promoting trust and openness helps clients work towards making sense of a situation. Beginning therapy is a really positive step towards moving your life forward.

I work with individuals and couples in an integrative way. This means that I work in a way which is appropriate for you. Anxiety, stress and depression are my main areas of work. Please get in touch if you would like to see how counselling could help.

Hi I am Ali and I am Counsellor based in the S6 area of Sheffield. Sometimes in life we encounter difficulties and struggle to make sense of things, at times like these it can be helpful to talk to someone and gain new perspectives that can help us move forward. Being self-aware and having the capability to think and feel emotions with clarity and understanding is part and parcel of being human. Sometimes life itself gets in the way of this. I believe that everyone has the ability to grow with the right support. That every individual is unique and has different needs, so I will always tailor my approach to suit you.
