Newly diagnosed intensive

Have you or someone close to you recently been diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD? 

It can be a confusing time. The diagnosis often raises questions about your identity and the impact this has had, and will have, on your life and relationships.  

I have supported many young people and adults through the diagnosis process. They often shared that they would have liked more guidance and support after they received their diagnosis. This is the reason I decided to create an intervention specifically for this purpose.  

There are traits that my clients frequently need more knowledge and strategies to  manage. Some of these are executive dysfunction, sensory sensitivities, emotional disregulation, masking, and the risk of burnout.  

However, everyone is different, and for this reason, I believe each intensive should be tailored to the person attending and their unique presentation. This intervention is likely to include both psycho-education and counselling to meet each client’s specific needs.  

It’s therefore essential to have an assessment session before attending. During this initial meeting, we will establish the areas you would like support with and the format of the session. Intensives can be between two and four hours with smaller and longer  breaks. The ideal length will depend on the individual and how much they’d like to cover.  

There will be an option to bring a person of your choice along to this intensive session. It may be that you would like your partner or parent to attend. This may help them understand and support you more effectively. Please note that this intensive is for young people aged 16 and over, as well as adults of any age.

Step 1 – If you are interested in attending an intensive session, please start by booking an assessment session (£85). This can be done by emailing me directly. During this meeting (which can be face-to-face or online), we will discuss your specific needs so  that I can tailor the session to you.

Full Day
4 hours | £500

Full Day
4 hours | £500

The most comprehensive session. A very good option if you decide to bring a partner or family member along. We have time to cover several areas you’ve identified that you need help and support with. We take a proper lunch break in the middle and a small break every hour. This means that the total length of the day is about five and a half hours.

Extended Session — Most Recommended
3 hours | £375

Extended Session — Most Recommended
3 hours | £375

The highly recommended session. This is a great option whether you come by yourself or with someone of your choice. We have enough time to cover any questions you may have after your diagnosis, to talk about strategies to manage areas you find challenging, and to address any relationship difficulties you may be experiencing. We will take a lunch break and small breaks every hour.

Extended Session
2 hours | £250

Extended Session
2 hours | £250

The extended session. This is a slightly shorter option where we will focus our attention on your main areas of concern and any support you need to implement strategies to manage your life more effectively. This option may suit you if the assessment session reveals that your support needs are relatively low. We will take a short break after the first hour.

About Jenny

I've been practicing counselling for over ten years. I qualified as a counsellor in 2016 and set up my private practice in 2017. First, the aim was to offer counselling for a range of issues but also to provide a more specialised service for young people and individuals with Autism and ADHD. Over the years I have gained experience working in educational settings at Canterbury college, Folkestone college and for a specialist secondary school provision for young people with SEND.

The practise now also offers Couples counselling and Clinical supervision based at the Lombard house in central Canterbury. Individual, couples and supervision sessions take place face to face but also online, with clients and supervisees from all over the UK.

I'm a fully qualified and experienced counsellor and clinical supervisor who is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) as well as the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society) and I abide by their ethical frameworks.

Before becoming a counsellor I worked in teaching and recruitment. I am originally from Sweden but I have lived all my adult life abroad. First in France, then Switzerland and now in the United Kingdom. I'm trilingual and can offer counselling in English, French & Swedish.
