    25. S4, Ep1: Autism, perimenopause and professional life with autistic therapist Lii Brookes
    Feb 18 2026

    My guest on today’s podcast is Lii Brookes. Lii is an autistic Therapist, working with autistic professionals, a Data Analyst and a busy mum, and she’s also just about to embark on a 7-year doctorate around autism.

    Lee panicked when peri menopause first arrived, but made the decision to embrace what her changing body meant and shares her journey about her dreams of a wonderful old cottage in Kent, her unusual and fun exercise choice and the ways she looks after her emotional and physical self.

    It’s great to talk with another Therapist and Lee shares how she conducts her therapy sessions in a holistic and goal-driven approach.

    24. S3, Ep5: Mind/body, menopause and masking with autistic CBT hypnotherapist and counsellor Kathy Carter
    Apr 6 2023
    Kathy Carter has an ‘all body’ approach to counselling, seeing the nervous system as paramount when supporting her mainly neurodivergent clients. Like so many late diagnosed women, Kathy discovered her autism after seeing traits in her son, and went on a research journey. We talk about the post diagnosis journey, and how so many feel people like they are in limbo with no support. Kathy believes it’s our duty as therapists to guide our clients, validate and listen, and support them with resources and psychoeducation. Masking can be exhausting for so many autistic people, who may begin hiding their true selves as children or teenagers in order to fit in. We talk about how important it is to tread carefully when thinking of lowering our masks, using alcohol to create a persona, how we hide our fear of failure, and the risk of others discovering what we are really like. We also discuss why the menopause can be a difficult time for neurodivergent people, with all the sensory differences, emotional sensitivities and changes in our bodies that it brings.

    23. S3, Ep4: Andy Reddy’s inspiring journey showing how dyslexia can be both a challenge and a blessing
    Mar 30 2023

    Dyslexia is much more than having difficulty with spelling and reading. Dyslexia leaves kids behind, and this impacts on friendships, peer groups, status and confidence, leading to the child feeling like a failure.

    Andy shares his life experiences of being diagnosed dyslexic at school aged five, to coming out of university with not one, but two Masters degrees!

    Andy's sheer determination got him results. Now he helps others as a Psychologist and Business Coach to ensure other neurodivergent people get all the support they need to build for success.
