I deliver interactive workshops and training sessions informed by my professional experience as a counsellor, a Master’s degree in Autism Studies, and my own lived experience. Sessions are evidence-based and including guided discussions, practical exercises, useful resources, and real life examples. There is always time for questions and audience participation.
