I offer mentoring and support to individuals with Asperger's Syndrome and their families/carers where they feel they need it.

I have a particular interest in working with Asperger's Syndrome students during transition periods, especially when leaving school or university, as this was an aspect of life I struggled with both before and after diagnosis. Asperger’s Syndrome students can often feel ‘insular’ coming out of school or university, especially if unsure of what may lie ahead. This can lead to high anxiety, which can be reduced with the right support. Additionally, I also provide support to individuals coming to terms with Asperger's Syndrome at the point of diagnosis and to their families/carers to help adjust to the diagnosis effectively.

My mentoring and support services involve social activities in a relaxed and confidential environment, to remove any pressure. This can help individuals develop social skills and self-esteem, as well as being able to express themselves.

Examples of support I offer includes:
Supporting individuals in coming to terms with Asperger's Syndrome at the point of diagnosis
Supporting school leavers with Asperger's Syndrome in schools (mainstream and special)
Co-ordinating workshops with students with Asperger's Syndrome entering higher education
Supporting university students with Asperger's Syndrome during transition to employment or postgraduate study
