I’m Emily, an independent autism and mental health consultant based in the city of York. Diagnosed with autism at the age of 18, and later Chronic Fatigue Syndrome at the age of 20, I have been granted a profound understanding of adversity. Having navigated a world, too often neglectful of my needs, I am passionately dedicated to ensuring that other people do not have to walk this path alone. Central to my practice are confidentiality and empathy, ensuring each individual feels truly heard and supported on their journey toward personal growth and fulfilment. With a Level Three Counselling Diploma and a lifelong understanding of autism, I ultimately aspire to ignite positive change, both on an individual and societal level.

50-Minute Autism Consultations:
If you are currently preparing for a formal autism assessment or navigating the complexities of your recent diagnosis, an autism consultation could be the appropriate support for you. Through personalised worksheets and psychoeducation, I guide my clients in preparing for their assessments, supporting them to feel comfortable with their new-found identity. Throughout what can be a time of deep uncertainty, I endeavour to be a reliable advocate for my clients, ensuring that they feel supported at home, within school and in the workplace.

50-Minute Mental Health Consultations:
I offer 50-minute mental health consultations tailored specifically for autistic individuals. Recognising the heightened vulnerability of autistic individuals to mental health challenges, I strive to enhance my client’s quality of life by addressing common comorbidities, such as anxiety and depression. My approach is individualised, adapting to each client's unique needs. From supporting clients in setting boundaries to aiding in healing from childhood trauma, improving verbal communication, and navigating suicidal ideation, my goal is to facilitate personal growth and empower clients to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

Mentoring Programme for Young People:
My mentoring program offers a safe and empowering environment where young people can explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns with a trusted mentor. Through open dialogue and personalised guidance, I aim to equip young people with the tools and strategies they need to navigate life's transitions with resilience and confidence. Whether it's coping with academic stress, building self-esteem, managing relationships, or developing healthy habits, my mentoring service is tailored to address each individual's unique needs. Together, we can nurture positive growth, resilience, and a sense of well-being, empowering young minds to embrace their full potential and flourish in their journey through school and beyond.
