Anyone like to share their experinces and opinions on counselling as a diagnosed autistic person please. I'm really struggling and I have the option to give it a try but I'm not sure.

I have weekly therapy sessions and I did have a batch of 12 coaching sessions that really helped with the challenges I faced as an autistic person. The therapy has been more in depth and depending on what you are working through it can be pretty intense at times but also very revealing and helpful moving forward. My therapist doesn't specialise in autism but I had a free 30 minute session to see if it felt okay for both of us. I understand that care needs to be taken too when choosing a therapist I watched a couple of podcasts on how to choose a good therapist and then looked on the BACP therapist directory.
I hope whatever you decide it works out for you.
