Unlearning Autism: Neuro-affirming support for late-identified Autistic and AuDHD adults


Rediscover who you are—beyond the mask.


Support, clarity, and empowerment through 1:1 coaching, groups, self-paced programmes, and workplace consultancy.

Hi, I’m Christine.


I’m a late-identified Autistic and AuDHD Psychotherapist, Trainer and Consultant. I specialise in neuro-affirming support for Autistic adults, particularly those who’ve recently discovered their neurodivergence.

Whether you’re processing your late discovery or keen to learn more about what it is to be Autistic through a neuro-affirming perspective for yourself or others — this space is for you.


Would you like to learn more about being Autistic —but feel unsure where to begin?
Did a late discovery of neurodivergence leave you feeling a mixture of emotions from overwhelm to relief, confusion to grief?  
Are you ready to understand your neurodivergent identity on your own terms?

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 […]

One of the most powerful aspects of a late identification is access to a language I never knew existed and offers me a way of understanding myself and my unanswered questions so perfectly

…
It’s in the searching that I lose myself, and in the being that I am fully me.

Searching feels important and daily draws me in .. thinking, reflecting, pondering, figuring out .. hours and hours in my own head, sometimes happily, and sometimes not. Searching, for me, is a slippery slope to rumination.

Being .. nature, chatting, movement, playing, creating, stretching, listening, loving .. can feel frivolous and almost like “the icing on the cake” and “I’ll have that when I’ve it all figured out” .. but I can see how wrong this is.

Being is everything. Being feeds my soul and makes everything feel lighter and more accessible, it’s where I notice I am truly me, unencumbered and unrestrained.

Doubt free.
Thought free.
Filter free.
Free.
Me.

A me a life of searching will never bring.
