Autistically Brilliant

11/01/2026

Unfortunately, the calendar year begins at the bleakest time possible, in mid winter. It is a time when we naturally take stock of the previous year and think of the new year ahead. This can include plans for beginning therapy, and starting work on issues that have caused unhappiness and difficulties.

Get in touch with me if you are neurodivergent and would like to begin counselling or art psychotherapy with a neurodivergent therapist. I'm neuro- and LGBTQIA+ affirming.

Have a look at my website for further information:

I wish everyone the happiest new year 2026!

Tom is here to remind you that it is ok to be kind to yourself, take things as slowly as you need to, and to stop to smell the roses. (He also says that you can eat them if you wish.)

So much has happened in this past week that warrants a post. Firstly, the judgement from the UK Supreme Court, and, secondly, Robert F. Kennedy's big launch of a study designed to ultimately try to eradicate people like me and my clients.

I want to make clear that I stand with my community and my clients - I'm here for you. All of you.

Being by the sea always puts any problems into perspective. The vastness of it makes you see how small you (and, even more so, your problems) are.

Also, it's now approximately two years since I started Autistically Brilliant 🍾🥂

Hello all,

I know I haven't created any content for a long time, due to being (gratefully) very busy - apologies! Regardless, I'm still here for you, whether you are "officially" diagnosed or self-identified neurodivergent.

If you would like to try neuro- and LGBTQIA+ affirming online/phone counselling or art psychotherapy, get in touch with me and I'll contact you to arrange a free, short (no obligation!) introductory meeting to discuss our potential work together.

Wishing you a warm, sunny spring,

Kirsti
