Our Mission
There is an innate desire in all human beings to be seen, to be heard and to be understood. When an individual feels that their authentic self is accurately mirrored, they develop the self-confidence and capacity to take on the world.
However, when an individual feels that the outside world is not responding to their true authentic self, part of themselves can become stuck or blocked at a certain developmental stage. This can lead to emotions either being repressed, stunting emotional growth, or on the other side of the spectrum - it can lead to wild emotional outbursts.
For people with Autism, it can become especially painful, as their uniqueness and often exceptional gifts can be misinterpreted, misunderstood, and unfortunately sometimes, ignored or ostracised. They can often experience a tsunami of anguish, confusion and despair at once. Or perhaps they retreat, succumbing to a false belief that ‘no one will ever understand them’. Both paths lead to an ‘unfulfilled life’.
Our mission is to provide the supporting structure to empower these individuals to increase their emotional awareness and find their place in the world.

Our Approach
Our approach is client-led and focused on the holistic development of a healthy individual.
We work to understand the individual as-a-whole, with strengths and development areas just like all of us - what is working well and what is not working so well. We focus on their values, sensory preferences & cognitive styles to build future orientated maps & plans.
With trust & rapport and using evidence-based tools we can identify the root cause of frustrations or challenges that they are experiencing, and uncover together, how we might go about navigating these obstructions. Sometimes it’s about making the adjustments to the environment, other times, it’s about finding the techniques that can support them in that environment.
With the purpose of supporting the individual develop their self-understanding, autonomy & confidence, we collaboratively map who they wish to become in the future, the goals they wish to achieve, and the skills they see that they need to develop.
By providing working visual representations of their focus areas, a sense of autonomy, belief and resilience builds, empowering the individual to take complete ownership of their life path and the desired milestones along the way.
