Have you had enough of
Autistic Burnout?

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or just plain exhausted? Maybe life  appears to be going well but you know it is not sustainable. Maybe you have hit rock bottom and are feeling burnt out or have shut down and don’t know how to get back to where you were, or even if you want to.

Autistic, neuro-divergent and people with or without an official diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are more likely to suffer from mental health problems and Autistic Burnout. The causes of this are not entirely clear but are likely to be due in part to the pressures of living in a world that is not well adapted for neurodiversity, the expectations of others, and our own beliefs about ourselves.

As a Clinical Psychologist and Autistic person I know that in the struggle to live a successful and meaningful life, we often put aside our needs or cover up our differences. This, alongside the stresses and strains of modern life mean that often Autistic people end up with poor mental health. While this is entirely understandable, it does not have to be this way.

Although Autistic Burnout is understandable it is not inevitable

I work with overwhelmed autistic people to help them live fulfilling lives without sacrificing their mental health.


I can help you to identify what you need to make your life more balanced and sustainable for you. I am able to adapt psychological therapy to take into account your neurodivergence and treat your mental health problems. I can teach you strategies and skills for becoming more aware of your needs, improving and maintaining your mental health.

Help provided for the following

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Maybe you don’t know exactly what is causing your overwhelm, but are fed up with constantly feeling as if everything is too much. It is common for autistic and neurodivergent people living in a neurotypical world to feel overwhelmed. There can be lots of reasons for this and often it is a combination of social, work, family and sensory issues that have combined to make things feel unmanageable.

If you are autistic, neurodivergent or have a diagnosis of ASD, ASC or Aspergers syndrome and are feeling overwhelmed we can work together to identify how you are feeling, what is causing it and what would help you to feel like life is more manageable.

Do you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom? Like things have been feeling stressful and overwhelming for so long that you have just run out of energy. Maybe you are finding it hard to do things you once found easy. You might feel low and tearful or just emotionally numb. Perhaps talking to people is harder than ever before or you can’t face going to the places you normally go. Autistic Burnout occurs when your stress levels have been too high and support too low for too long.

If you are Autistic, neurodivergent or have a diagnosis of ASD, ASC or Aspergers syndrome and are experiencing Burnout we can work together to identify how you are feeling, what is causing it and what would help you to feel like life is more manageable.

Do you have moments when you get so intensely stressed, angry or anxious that you lose control of your behaviour? Do you shout and scream, hit people, damage objects or hurt yourself? Autistic meltdowns occur when our brains are overloaded or we are overstimulated and our bodies rapidly enter into threat mode. These episodes can be intensely upsetting for you and might cause feelings of shame and embarrassment afterwards.

If you are autistic, neurodivergent or have a diagnosis of ASD, ASC or Aspergers syndrome and are struggling with meltdowns I can help. We can work together to determine what is causing them, what your warning signs are and how to prevent them and/or manage them.

Do you have moments of feeling so overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or angry that you shut down? Maybe you feel frozen or unable to speak or need to shut yourself away. Autistic shutdowns occur due to the same reasons meltdowns occur- but in this case the brain is overloaded and the threat system is activated causing a ‘freeze’ response rather than a ‘fight’ response. Shut downs can be hard to predict and can be confusing and embarrassing to experience.

If you are Autistic, neurodivergent or have a diagnosis of ASD, ASC or Aspergers syndrome and are struggling with shutdowns I can help.

Are you feeling constantly stressed? Do you have too much to do, or too little time? Is your mind full of all the things you need to do? Maybe you are struggling to relax or sleep, using caffeine to keep you going or alcohol to calm you down? Life can be really stressful at times, especially if you are having to think extra hard in order to plan, cope with change and struggle with sensory experiences and social situations.

If you are Autistic, neurodivergent or have a diagnosis of ASD, ASC or Aspergers syndrome and are feeling stressed I can help. We can work together to determine the causes of your stress, identify ways of reducing the stress you are exposed to and increase your ability to cope with stress when it does occur.

Do your thoughts race? Are you worrying about the future or things you have done in the past. You might be finding it difficult to sit still or to sleep. Anxiety is very common for Autistic people but it can be treated.

If you are Autistic, neurodivergent or have a diagnosis of ASD, ASC or Aspergers syndrome and are feeling anxious I can help. I am able to adapt evidence based therapies for anxiety in Autistic and neurodivergent adults.

Do you find it difficult to know how you are feeling? Maybe you have so many feelings it’s difficult to grasp one and accurately describe it. Perhaps you feel numb and you’re not convinced there are any emotions inside you at all. Alexithymia is difficulty or an inability to access or recognise one’s own emotions. It can make it difficult to make decisions, to relate to other people and avoid burnout, meltdowns and shutdowns. A lot of talking therapies rely on your being able to report how you are feeling in different situations so alexithymia can be a barrier to recovering from trauma, stress, anxiety and depression.

If you find it difficult to recognise and communicate your emotions I can provide online psychological therapy to help you to notice and pick up on the subtle cues your mind and body are giving you. We can develop a way of understanding and communicating emotions as you experience them. This new skill will enable you to understand and communicate your emotions better and will help you to engage in therapy for any other mental health problems in the future.

Do you find your emotions are overwhelming? Do they feel too big, too hard or like they last for too long? Maybe you find they are so intense you end up behaving in ways you later regret. You might turn to alcohol, drugs, self-harm or over-eating to manage your feelings or you might keep yourself very busy to avoid feeling anything at all.

If you are Autistic, neurodivergent or have a diagnosis of ASD, ASC or Aspergers syndrome and are struggling to cope with your emotions we can work together to identify how you are feeling, what is causing it and what would help you to develop healthy coping strategies.

Do you feel as if you could do with some help with coping with living in a neurotypical world? Maybe you are not feeling depressed or anxious but you can see that you are struggling with social situations, with planning, with managing sensory input. Perhaps you would benefit from talking through your life goals and thinking about how you can live a fulfilling life and protect yourself from mental health problems.
