I’ve created a collection of autism-affirming resources to support counsellors working with autistic clients.
Some are freely available and designed to gently support your thinking and practice. Others explore this work in more depth, offering more detailed guidance and practical support within sessions.
Free Resources
These resources are designed to support reflection and understanding, without becoming a checklist or something to “get right”.
They can be used flexibly within your work, and revisited over time as your understanding deepens.
In-depth Resource available to buy
If you’re looking for something more detailed, I’ve created an autism-affirming intake guide for counsellors.
This guide is designed to support early sessions in a way that reduces pressure, moves at the client’s pace, and builds a clearer understanding of individual needs over time.
It explores areas such as:
- Sensory profile
- Communication and processing
- Masking
- Shutdown and overwhelm
- Trauma and safety
- Therapy adaptations
Each section includes:
- Gentle, accessible mini education
- Questions to explore with clients
- What to notice within sessions
- Therapist interpretation notes
- Practical counsellor scripts
This is not intended as a checklist, but as a guide to support a more attuned, flexible, and autism-affirming approach to therapy.
