Counselling with Lii
Lii Brooke
After an autism assessment you may be wondering what it all means. Perhaps your emotions escape you. You might be feeling isolated and unsure or there may be a sense of relief, even joy. Anger rises up for some. And so does grief. On the other hand, somewhere deep inside you knew all along, right?
My name is Lii. I am an autistic therapist, data analyst and postgraduate researcher, based in the UK.
As a fellow autistic person, I am likely to understand you quickly. I know first-hand the life-long struggle of fitting in and the tension that comes with simply being in a busy space.
How therapy helps
Embracing your autistic identity and leading a fulfilling life doesn’t have to be a struggle. Realising things could be easier is the first step towards positive change. It may be useful for you to be truly heard, to explore how you want your life to be and what you can do about it. A post-assessment conversation is the start of this process.
During the support sessions I help you to:
- process experiences
- manage big emotions
- negotiate fulfilling relationships
- thrive at work
Previous clients said they had found the sessions useful and walked away with renewed hope.
Qualifications and approach
A registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I hold a diploma in therapeutic counselling and a postgraduate certificate in autism. Being on a Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA) register means I work in accordance with the ethical standards of my membership organisation and that my counselling practice is run safely and diligently.
My approach to counselling places you, the client, at the centre of the process of positive change. I respect your autonomy and offer goal-oriented, structured sessions. When things get hard, you may lose sight of your strengths. I am here to support you with using your existing resources and adopting a growth mindset to get closer to what you want your reality to be.
Online sessions are available wherever you are, and in-person appointments are held in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, UK.
