Autism Treatment Therapy For Adults & Children

Understanding and supporting neurodiversity through specialized therapy is essential for both adults and children on the autism spectrum. Our experienced therapists across Haggerston E8 and Highbury N5 provide tailored support that recognizes autism as a unique way of experiencing and interacting with the world, rather than a condition that needs “fixing.”

We offer various therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Creative Arts Therapy Family & Systemic Psychotherapy to support autistic individuals. These evidence-based methods can help develop coping strategies, improve communication, and enhance overall wellbeing.

Understanding Autism and Neurodiversity

Autism, sometimes referred to as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or Asperger’s, represents a form of neurodiversity where individuals process information and experience the world differently from neurotypical people. This can affect social interaction, sensory processing, and communication patterns in various ways.

Common Experiences

Many autistic individuals may:

• Process sensory information differently
• Find comfort in routine and repetitive actions
• Experience social situations differently from neurotypical people
• Have unique ways of communicating and expressing themselves
• Feel overwhelmed by unfamiliar experiences
