Welcome to Life Behind a Mask

I’m Emily, an independent autism consultant and counsellor based in the city of York. Diagnosed with autism at the age of 18, and later Chronic Fatigue Syndrome at the age of 20, I have been granted a profound understanding of adversity. Having navigated a world, too often neglectful of my needs, I am passionately dedicated to ensuring that other people do not have to walk this path alone. Central to my practice are confidentiality and empathy, ensuring each individual feels truly heard and supported on their journey toward personal growth and fulfilment. With a Level Three Counselling Diploma and a lifelong understanding of autism, I ultimately aspire to ignite positive change, both on an individual and societal level.
