Friends and family

Sometimes living or caring for a friend or family member who has Autism or Asperger's syndrome can be difficult. People can often feel alone and unsupported. That is why we offer individual counselling and group support service to friends and families.

The sessions will allow you to:

1. Discuss your feelings regarding autism and the person's behaviour with someone who understands.
2. Be part of a supportive network
3. Share your experiences which may help you understand the person's feelings and thoughts
4. Gain tips on how to deal with difficult situations and issues

The sessions are run by Counselling Psychologists (some qualified and some are in their final year of training) who have had experience of working with people with autistic spectrum disorders.
