Providing Specialist Autism and Neurodiversity-Affirming Counselling
Action for Neurodiversity (AfN) provides specialist, neurodiversity-affirming counselling and emotional support for autistic people, people with other neurodivergent profiles, and those who live alongside or support them.
We understand how important it is, when you are struggling or in need of emotional support, to be able to talk to someone who has knowledge and understanding of neurodivergence and how it may influence an individual’s experiences, relationships and emotional wellbeing.
Our counsellors have additional knowledge and experience of autism and other forms of neurodivergence, gained through specialist training, professional practice and/or lived experience.
We accept you as you are.
We recognise that obtaining a formal diagnosis can take time, and that not everyone has or wants a diagnosis. You do not need a formal diagnosis to access our counselling services. Whatever your circumstances or reasons for seeking support, you are welcome at AfN.
Above all, we believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood and accepted, and to receive support from someone who recognises and respects their individual way of experiencing the world.
Here for you every step of the way
We are an award winning charity that started life in 2008, spearheading the concept of neurodiverse counselling therapy to those who need it and also to the therapeutic community – who have needed to know about it – ever since.
We can help with individual counselling for those with autism/Asperger’s syndrome, relationship counselling where one or both partners has autism/Asperger’s syndrome, and/or counselling for close others – whether neurodiverse or neurotypical.
