Recommendations for psychotherapist and/or family therapist, please? NW/Yorkshire

[GrumpyInsomniac]

Hi, DS16 has been struggling for a while, and while we’ve tried waiting for CAHMS to make sure we end up with a reputable therapist - we’ve not lived here long enough to know people locally we could ask for a recommendation - I’m at the point where I think we really just need to find someone before it gets too late.

Does anyone have recommendations for therapists that might fit the bill, please? We’re in North Yorkshire, but happy to travel some way to find someone good. I think we’ll need both individual and family therapy. It would be a bonus if they had experience of dealing with autism (I’m autistic, we suspect he is too, although waiting on assessment for him) but that’s not essential if they’re otherwise excellent.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks again. Will contact them tomorrow.

@GrumpyInsomniac , I can’t work out how to private message you but I know of a psychotherapist who is employed by my DD’s school (in a different part of Yorkshire) to work with young people with ASC. The therapist is autistic, has three autistic teens and was the person who correctly identified that my DD has ASC and ADHD at the first time of meeting her. If you can PM me, then I will let you have the details.

@EmmatheStageRat thank you so much. I’ve sent you a PM.
