Support for Every Step
Personalised Autism Advice, Support and Guidance
My mission is to empower clients through tailored coaching sessions, relevant resources, and support systems, using a compassionate approach.
Hello and welcome.
My name is Sheila and I am an experienced Autism Advisor and Neurodiversity Coach. (ICAHP, IPHM).
I have supported autistic individuals, parents/carers and professionals for many years. My person centred, holistic approach allows me to focus on each person I support as an individual, there is no one approach that works for everyone.
Many traditional counselling and therapy approaches are not a good fit for neurodivergent individuals, the trying to 'fix' approach may do more harm than good, my approach is neuro - affirming/strengths based.
My areas of expertise include, support with Communication, Sensory Differences, Thinking Styles, Emotions, Trauma Informed Practice, embedding the Low Arousal Approach, I have completed additional training in Eating Disorders and Autism, Burnout, Trauma and Interoceptive Challenges.
I am also a certified Neurodivergent Coach and Mental Health First Aider and hold a BTechnol in Management from Glasgow University.
Sessions can be held by phone or video call - any location, or in person - location dependent.
I am PVG registered and insured
