About me

I am a private practitioner specialising in autism spectrum/Asperger's syndrome.  I work with all ages. I also work with couples and families. I am particularly expert in couples counselling where Asperger's/autism features. I founded the UK-wide charity Action for Asperger's - the world's first autism-specialist counselling organisation. Her Majesty The Queen awarded me an MBE for my work in the field of Asperger's/autism 2016. I have written/write a number of articles for counselling/special needs journals on the subject of autism per se and have appeared in the Channel 5 production "My Violent Child". My working in this field comes from a visceral, empathic place, for autism/Asperger's is in my family. I have also undertaken 4 years of further CPD training through Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre and am registered with the UKCP as a trainee body psychotherapist, running a separate body psychotherapy practice www.upeksha.co.uk in addition to my autism-specialist private practice www.elainenicholsonmbe.co.uk and the organisation I continue to operate charitably in www.actionforaspergers.org.
