Family Therapy Sessions for Autistic Individuals and Their Families

These sessions are designed to support autistic individuals, whether children, teenagers, or adults who may face challenges in understanding or being understood by their families or partners. The focus is on the individual, while including family members or partners to improve mutual understanding and strengthen relationships.

Session Price: £70.00 for 50 minutes.
Individual Therapy: After a period of family therapy, individuals can continue one-on-one sessions at £65.00 per 50 minutes.
Flexibility: Sessions can be offered as a one-off consultation or as a series of ongoing sessions, depending on your needs. (Open to new and existing clients)

While these sessions are particularly helpful for autistic individuals, they are open to anyone, including families or partners looking to enhance communication and connection.

Challenges in communication between autistic and neurotypical individuals are sometimes explained by the Double Empathy Problem. For further reading, visit the National Autistic Society.

"My son, who is autistic and struggles with anxiety, and I have been seeing Carolyn for therapy sessions for a few months now. Attending the sessions together has made it easier for my son to attend, and it has been invaluable in enabling me to understand how he thinks and what makes certain tasks, environments, and situations so hard for him. It has also helped him to understand why I and other members of the family can find him frustrating and why we worry about him. Carolyn has helped us develop strategies to cope, and he is now starting to think about how he can make more tasks and situations workable for him, which has improved his life and made family life a little easier."
