Nic McNamara
I set up Autism Empowered as my work within the NHS has highlighted how difficult it can be for autistic people to access services and support and the negative impact this can have on people’s lives and wellbeing.
I am passionate about working with autistic people and my practice is neuro-diversity affirming.
Just received your diagnosis and feeling lost, overwhelmed or simply unsure how you’re supposed to feel?
Were you diagnosed a while ago but never received support to fully understand what that meant for you?
Do you want to feel empowered within a world that is not set up to accommodate your differences?
Do you want to feel proud to be autistic?
Do you need your non-autistic counterparts to communicate more effectively with you?
Do you need your environment to be more conducive to communication?
Do you need support to communicate more effectively without the need for masking your true self?
Do you love, care for, or work with an autistic person and want to know how to communicate more effectively with them?
Work With Me
I work with both children (aged 8 and above) and adults.
Given my extensive experience of working with autistic individuals, I am happy to work within many settings from the family home, schools (year 4+), colleges, work places, sports clubs, supported living or residential accommodation, youth offending provision, probation, prisons etc.
