Advocacy means having someone speak on your behalf — but using your voice, your perspective, and your priorities. It's not about someone telling others what they think you need; it's about making sure that what you actually think, feel and want is heard clearly, fairly and by the right people.This can matter enormously for autistic people and their families. It might be that you find it difficult to communicate your needs in ways that others seem to receive well. It might be that people aren't listening, or that you're struggling to achieve shared understanding. Sometimes it's simply about having someone beside you who can give you confidence that what you're saying has weight — and, when necessary, someone who can represent you in a room where you'd rather not be alone.

Yes to all three. Organisations — schools, NHS services, employers — don't always understand what reasonable adjustments look like in practice, or why they matter. I can help you articulate your perspective clearly, represent your interests in a balanced and constructive way, and support you in navigating situations where you're not always being heard as you deserve to be.

Yes, this is something I'm able to consider with you. Whether it's attending a meeting, contributing to a report, or helping you prepare for a difficult conversation, I'll discuss the specifics with you and we'll agree together what's appropriate and helpful. Every situation is different, and I'd rather understand yours before making any assumptions.

Yes. I'm happy to travel where that's needed. Where travel is involved, there will naturally be a cost associated with it — something we can discuss and factor in when planning support.

Advocacy support is charged at an hourly rate, starting from £75. I'm happy to discuss the specifics when we talk about what you need.
