We offer two distinct one-to-one services: support for your mental health, and autistic-led support to explore your identity. You do not need to know which is right for you before getting in touch. Tell us what you are looking for and we can discuss the options together.
One-to-one mental health support
Individual therapeutic support for people who could benefit significantly from having space to talk, work through difficulties and support their mental wellbeing.
Autistic and neurodivergent therapists
We connect people with autistic and neurodivergent therapists who use neuroaffirming approaches. This means respecting your identity and experiences, rather than trying to change who you are or expecting you to mask.
We do not use therapists who practise cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) or other behavioural approaches within this service.
Funding and access
Where needed, we may be able to fund a limited number of sessions. Our charitable funding is limited, so we normally prioritise people who have explored NHS or other support routes but have been unable to access suitable help, or have tried those routes without finding the support they need.
Funding is considered individually, based on need and available resources. It is not a promise of funded or ongoing sessions.
If you can pay for all or part of your sessions privately, you are also welcome to enquire. The same process applies: we discuss what you need and look to connect you with a suitable therapist from our network.
Enquire about mental health supportOne-to-one autistic identity support
A dedicated, autistic-led space for self-discovery: understanding what being autistic means for you, making sense of your experiences and developing confidence and self-acceptance.
Support from David Gray-Hammond
We commission David Gray-Hammond from the Neuro Hub community to provide this service. David brings expertise in autistic identity and its relationship with wellbeing and self-discovery.
These one-to-one conversations offer space to explore your identity on your own terms, recognise your needs and strengths, and develop a more accepting understanding of yourself.
Which service might fit?
If your main aim is to understand your autistic identity and build confidence and self-acceptance, this may be the more suitable starting point than our one-to-one mental health service.
If you are primarily looking for therapeutic support with mental health difficulties, the mental health service may be a better fit. The two areas can overlap, so you are welcome to talk to us about what matters most to you.
Enquire about identity supportExpress an interest
Email contact@londonautismgroupcharity.org with a little about the support you are looking for. We will discuss your needs, suitability, availability and the next steps with you. An enquiry does not commit you to anything or guarantee a place or funding.
You can also contact us if you are a neuroaffirming therapist interested in joining our network.
