Hi, I’m Christine.

I am a late-discovered and neuro-affirming Autistic Psychotherapist and Coach. I am passionate about supporting individuals and families to learn more about what it is to be Autistic, and with this, support and empower them and those around them to live a more comfortable and fulfilling life.

Contact me today if:

  • you think you might be Autistic and you are looking for support on your self-identification journey
  • you have received a diagnosis and are looking for support in processing your emotions around this discovery
  • you are a family member wishing to support an Autistic loved one in a neuro-affirming way
  • your family member is Autistic and you would benefit from some 1:1 support for yourself, as you support them.

I offer one-off therapy sessions and my coaching programme, ‘Unlearning Autism – Neuro-Affirming Support For Late-Identified Autistic Adults’

1:1 Support Sessions

I support clients who have received a diagnosis or those who are self-identified and are looking for support in processing their emotions around this discovery

I also offer 1:1 sessions to family members who are wishing to support an Autistic loved one in a neuro-affirming way

My 1:1 support sessions are charged at a rate of €70 per session

 

Autistic Post-Identification Programme

Unlearning Autism is my neuro-affirming support for late-identified Autistic adults

This is a 4-session programme set out over 8-12 weeks at a pace that is appropriate and suitable for you. Following each session you will receive a take-home pack including recent neuro-affirming research and coaching tools and questions to support our work together

Unlearning Autism is designed to empower you as you embark on your post-discovery journey. Combining psychoeducation, coaching, counselling and nervous system regulation, this programme will help you to rediscover and embrace your unique strengths, navigate life with newfound clarity, and thrive beyond diagnosis

It’s never too late to discover your authentic self and build a fulfilling future!

My work is focused on guiding you as you return to who you truly are

My Autistic Post-Identification Programme, Unlearning Autism, is charged at a total rate of €500

What my clients Say

Don't just take my word for it! Here is what some of my previous clients have to say about their work with me:


Enrolling in Christine’s My Kind of Life programme was honestly the best thing I have ever done for my mental health – my head is the clearest it has been in years. I had tried talk therapy before and while I found it good, I was fed up of talking and felt like I wanted […]

- Georgina


My experience working with Christine has been extremely positive. I first came to Christine with a lack of purpose in my life. I felt stuck where I was and I knew that I wasn’t living the life that I wanted to. Christine provided great support while I was making changes to my mindset and was always […]

- Anna


I booked an appointment with Christine on the advice of my doctor. I wanted a stronger antidepressant but got a talking to from my doctor about taking the time to go to a new therapist. I had been to therapy before but it was like putting a plaster on a wound that needed stitches. I still […]

- Client Nov 2022


Thank you for the time we spent working together and how much it has helped me. It is something I will always be grateful for. The tools you gave me and the things you taught me are invaluable and I’ve applied them in so many situations since and have had a very different outcome to […]

- Jen


As a person who had previously attended therapy and never wanted to return, when I started with Christine my whole view on therapy changed. Christine’s positivity and incredible insight really showed me how to challenge my negative thoughts and build a self-care plan that suits me. I am so lucky to have worked with Christine […]

- Tara


As a mid 50’s male I knew that, despite outwards appearances of being successful in life, I had taken the eye off the ball on my own health and wellbeing. Christine’s My Kind of Life four sessions spread over eight weeks has been truly life changing for me. Christine is very good at getting under […]

- Peter M


I can honestly say Christine has helped me both on a personal level and professionally.  She taught me about setting boundaries professionally which gave me great relief when I put those into practice. Time is always on my side now and I feel fabulous and so grateful for taking the time out to go on […]

- MB


Working with Christine over the past year has been truly life changing for me. I first came to Christine at a very vulnerable time in my life when I felt lost and without purpose. From our very first session Christine cultivated a safe, non-judgemental, and honest environment where I felt truly heard. Her realistic approach […]

- Roisin


Working with Christine over our four 1-2-1 sessions has truly been transformative to my well-being and rediscovering my authentic self.  After each session, Christine sends you a personalised summary of your session with a plan and goals for you to work on for the next session. Working with Christine empowered me to recognise my self-doubts, […]

- Danielle


Working with Christine has taught me so much. This work has helped me live intentionally, to forgive and accept myself for who I am. She has helped me live a life with gentleness, kindness and true to my core values

- Jess


Christine’s approach was soft & gentle yet extremely supportive & encouraging. She helped me realise that my lack of clarity on what I truly wanted was causing me to become distracted by what was going on around me & by what others were doing. Before working with Christine I was placing responsibility in/on others within […]

- Kate


My sessions with Christine have allowed me to focus on what is most important, and my time and life management have become so much better….. These sessions have massively lightened the load. I was one that really would not have believed in these kinds of methods. I would’ve dismissed it as a kind of whimsical […]

Can you help???

I am looking for 100 Autistic women to take part in a study into the impact of hormones on the Autistic experience

From puberty to periods, pregnancy to perimenopause/menopause our hormones can have a significant impact on our wellbeing throughout our days, weeks, months and lives. And research has shown that being Autistic means we are predisposed to being particularly sensitive to hormone fluctuations.

To take part in this anonymous and confidential study please comments hormones below and I’ll send you the link.

My self limiting beliefs are only glass ceilings, made to be broken, no, not broken, smashed, with the choices I make today.

When I run I run for young me who came last at every race, who struggled with balance and stamina. Who laughed and shrugged but secretly yearned.

I run for older me who will thank me for every challenge I made, running or otherwise.

I run for my headspace and my peace.

I run for my kids.

I run on my own, with a podcast, a playlist, or just the sound of nature. I run with my husband, my friends, and even (imposter syndrome be damned) @wexford_marathon_club

I run because with every run that voice in my head quietens.

I run for me.

A part of my AuDHD experience is my tendency to talk, loudly, to myself.

A neurodivergent brain is a noisy space with thoughts competing with more thoughts for attention … so much so that oftentimes the only way I can hear myself think, decipher the thought I need to focus on, is saying It out loud.

Even more fun when unmasking means this occurs among others, adding a surprise fun twist to the social gathering 😜

⭐️4 Years Alcohol Free⭐️

I couldn’t be more delighted with you @jprdoyle and the decision we made for our little family on 18.11.20

Our lives have taken a complete 360 to a life I never thought was possible for me - where instead of (alcohol laden) date nights, parties and fine dining we now get our kicks from group runs, family meals and early mornings.

I was sick of our old life - and didn’t ever imagine the richness of the simplicity of all we have now

One decision
And everything changed

Here’s to breaking patterns 💪🏻💪🏻
Here’s to choosing a brand new lifestyle 💪🏻💪🏻
