Autism Parent Support
Individual & Group Sessions
Raising a child with autism can bring unique joys, challenges, and questions — and you don’t have to face them alone.
At DM Therapy, we provide dedicated 1:1 and group support sessions for parents and carers of children with autism. Whether you’re looking for practical strategies, emotional reassurance, or a safe place to share your experiences, our sessions are here to help.
We offer UK-wide support online, as well as in-person sessions for families in Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, and surrounding areas. This means you can access guidance, connection, and professional expertise wherever you are in the UK.
Our aim is to give you the tools, confidence, and understanding to better support your child — while also looking after your own wellbeing.
How Our Parent Support Sessions Work
Our parent support sessions are designed to give you a safe, supportive space where you can explore challenges, share experiences, and learn practical ways to help your child thrive.
Individual Sessions
- Focused entirely on your family’s unique needs
- Flexible pace and structure — time to talk through concerns in depth
- Tailored strategies for your child’s specific strengths, challenges, and environment
- Opportunity to explore sensitive topics privately with your therapist
Group Sessions
- Connect with other parents and carers who understand your journey
- Share ideas, successes, and challenges in a safe, moderated space
- Learn from the experiences of others as well as professional guidance
- Build a sense of community and mutual support that extends beyond the sessions
Both formats provide a combination of emotional support and practical guidance, with the flexibility to attend online anywhere in the UK or in person at our Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire locations.
Autism Parent Support
The journey of hope and recovery
Our Approach to Autism Parental Support
We know that every child — and every family — is unique. That’s why our support is always personalised, flexible, and guided by your specific needs and goals.
Our therapists combine professional expertise with genuine understanding, creating a space where you can speak openly without judgement. Whether you choose 1:1 sessions or join a group, you’ll receive practical guidance grounded in evidence-based approaches, alongside the empathy and encouragement you need to feel supported.
We also understand the importance of balancing your child’s needs with your own wellbeing. Our approach includes helping you build resilience, set healthy boundaries, and find moments of calm, so you can support your child from a place of strength.
With both online sessions across the UK and in-person support in Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire, we make it easy for you to access help in a way that fits your life.
