About I'm Crista Jones, an autistic person and HCPC registered therapist, based in Brighton & Hove, offering individual therapy to autistic children and young people, aged 7-27, who are experiencing mental health difficulties such as anxiety and low mood. I use a neuroinclusive and neuroaffirmative approach.
My approach is a mixture of talking therapy and creative arts therapy and is adapted to the specific need of each young person. The purpose of therapy is to improve the young person's internal wellbeing. The intention is not to make the young person 'less autistic' or to encourage them to repress their autistic traits. In fact a young person may present as 'more autistic' as they unmask and gain self understanding.
I have 9 years experience of therapy and counselling in both inpatient and community settings. I have a masters in creative arts therapy and a post graduate certificate in improving access to psychological therapies for autistic children and young people.
