Being an autistic therapist
It is a strange thing to describe yourself as an autistic psychotherapist. As a person-centred psychotherapist, empathy is my bread-and-butter. So how can I reconcile my beliefs in the importance of empathy, with my autism? I thought autistic people couldn’t empathise? These were the questions I was asking myself a few years ago when I started to realise I might be autistic.
