Many families of those with an autism spectrum or ADHD diagnosis, and individuals themselves, have times when they need support, information and advice. Spectrum offers psychological support services, therapeutic input, and psycho-education to help individuals and families deal with a variety of issues.

​

Available Support Includes:

 

• Hourly Sessions - allowing the opportunity for family members or individuals to talk about difficulties they are facing, and to explore what might be impacting on this. Sessions are typically via video-conference, but in-person face to face may be possible if required. For many, simply being able to voice difficulties to someone who understands can be of immense help. Sessions are charged at £75ph, reductions available for those on benefits.

​

• Small Group Structured Therapeutic Support - This 6-week fully online, psycho-educational intervention is for those recently diagnosed autistic who would like a safe space to explore this further alongside other autistic adults, facilitated by members of our team. Places are limited to 8 per course, £300 for the 6-week course. Our next course starting February 2026 is being offered at a 20% discount.
