Resources for Autism is a registered charity that provides practical services for children and adults with a diagnosis of autism and for those who love and care for them.

Our counselling service is offered to autistic individuals over 16 years old, whether formally diagnosed or not, and for parents/carers.

My name is Mathilde. I have been working as a counsellor at Resources for Autism since 2020 and am autisitc myself. As a Person-Centred counsellor, I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space in which to talk about your difficulties or concerns. I will work with you to build up trust and rapport between us, so that you can feel comfortable in exploring what is painful for you.

Starting therapy is a significant and personal step, and it’s important to find the right fit; get in touch with me to organise a free 15 minutes meeting to see if working together feels right. If we decide to proceed, we’ll arrange an initial session where we can explore in more detail your reasons for seeking therapy, what you hope to gain from the experience and where to go from there.

I currently have availability on Tuesdays and Fridays 9h00 to 18h00.

Do you sometimes feel like life is harder than it should? Feel teary-tired? I can offer you a safe and confidential space to put words on what is happening for you. Whether you’re going through a difficult event, or have a sense that you’d like to make some changes in how you live your life. Counselling is a process in which we work together to understand what’s happening in yourself (your feelings, thoughts, patterns of behaviour) so you can feel empowered to make the changes you want to make in your life and address situations in a way that works for you.

I can offer you a listening ear, my honesty and respect while we explore matters you bring to the session. We will take time to understand your strengths and difficulties. I will challenge you when needed and regularly check in to see what’s working, what isn’t, and adjust our sessions to meet your needs.

Taking the first step of asking for help from a counsellor can be daunting, but please be assured that I will make the process of finding the right counsellor for yourself as easy as possible for you, by answering any questions you may have in a short phone conversation or in an email, with no obligation.

The next step would be to set up a 50 minutes exploratory session, charged at the current rate, which will provide an opportunity to meet face to face or online, and discuss what is going on for you and how counselling might help you.
