What clients ask before booking
Is this suitable for someone still masking heavily?+
Working with Chellaston clients, Yes. Reducing safe-space masking is often an early aim.
Do you work with autistic burnout?+
Yes — it is one of the most common presenting themes.
Can hypnotherapy help autistic clients?+
It can — particularly for regulation, sleep, and reducing internal noise. It is offered where it fits, not as a default.
Is online better for neurodivergent clients?+
For many, yes — reduced travel and sensory friction can make attendance easier and sessions richer.
Can I bring stims or fidgets?+
Yes — always. Masking is not required here.
Who this practice is for

- ✓ Late-diagnosis identity work is central, not a footnote.
- ✓ Therapy is neurodivergent-affirming — never trying to normalise you.
- ✓ You can bring stims, fidgets or sensory tools — this is not a mask-required space.

What actually happens in a session
- Step 1
Map what's actually happening
The first sessions build a clear picture of the pattern — not just the symptoms, but the driver underneath.
- Step 2
Prepare for real life
The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy.
- Step 3
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.
