Now Open for Enrolment: Autistic Adult Group Program
10-week in-person group | Next Round Starting September 2026 | Fitzroy
A small, neurodiversity-affirming therapy group for autistic adults who want to better understand their emotions, sensory experiences, relationships, daily challenges and autistic identity.
Co-facilitated by two experienced psychologists, the program combines guided reflection, practical learning and supportive discussion with other autistic adults. It offers space to explore what genuinely helps, reduce shame and self-blame, develop more manageable and sustainable ways of navigating everyday life, and build community with like-minded individuals while learning from a range of autistic experiences and perspectives.

Discovering Autism or ADHD later in life can bring clarity and open up new ways of understanding your experiences. As these insights take shape, it’s common to recognise how often daily life has felt overwhelming or misaligned with your needs.
Therapy offers a consistent, grounded space to sort through these experiences, explore your identity, and develop approaches that fit how your brain works. Together, we’ll focus on strengths-based support to help you navigate overwhelm and build a life that feels workable and authentic to you.

Even with clear values and good intentions—whether in relationships, health, or work—many people find themselves struggling to make the progress they want. Sometimes past trauma or early adversity creates patterns, reactions, or emotional burdens that make it difficult to move forward. Therapy offers a structured and safe space to process these experiences, understand their impact, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others in life.

For individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds, seeking therapy can present additional challenges. We may worry about being fully and accurately understood , as our struggles are often overlaid with cultural nuances. Concerns also arise about whether the support provided can resonate with our cultural narratives. Here, you story will be sensitively responded to. I am committed to working closely with you to adapt my therapeutic approaches to better reflect your worldview and cultural identity.
Meet Dr Yan Yang (She/Her)
Hello! My name is Yan. I am a registered clinical psychologist in Australia and the UK. My experience spans both public and private mental health sectors, complemented by a background in psychology teaching and research. I provide psychological support for neurodivergent adults, individuals from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and those dealing with unresolved developmental trauma.
Committed to personalised and inclusive care, I combine experiential approaches namely Emotion Focused Therapy with cognitive behavioural strategies to meet each client's specific needs. In my therapy sessions, you'll find a warm, down-to-earth approach, coupled with a keen ability to listen deeply and sensitively. My primary goal is to help individuals harness their internal resources and also develop practical tools to navigate psychosocial challenges and enhance well-being.
