There are aspects of Asperger that you can learn to use to your great advantage. As your coach, I can help you understand how Asperger's Syndrome could be the biggest advantage you could ever want or need.
Autism should not be defined as an "affliction endured by sufferers," but as a truly unique and individual experience to be respected and appreciated by all. In so doing, Bill highlights the exquisite sensitivities of our most valuable, wise and loving "teachers."
We provide counselling, psychosexual, counselling, psychotherapy, and consultancy to individuals; couple and marital counselling; and organizational consultancy, specializing in organizations in conflict. We undertake medical and medico-legal assessments of people with autism, Asperger syndrome, and related conditions. We regularly give invited lectures on existential psychotherapy, on human rights and other philosophical matters related to psychotherapy, and on Asperger syndrome.
Dilemma Consultancy is also involved in research. We are a partner with the University of Sheffield in the Centre for the Study of Conflict and Reconciliation, and UK partner in SEPTIMUS and DEEP, projects funded by the European Commission, to create innovative psychotherapy training in eight European countries.
