Autism Psychotherapists in Bangalore

Autism is a diverse group of conditions related to the development of the brain ¹. Abilities and needs vary, and they can change over time. Autism is often not identified until well after early childhood.

Support may mean assessment, or help with anxiety or low mood alongside the autism. It may also mean work with families and schools. It may mean changes to how therapy itself is done.

Therapy does not set out to remove autism. Ask a practitioner what experience they have with autistic people.

Everyone on this page describes their work as psychotherapy. A psychotherapist works through talking with you about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Psychotherapy usually runs longer than counselling and aims for clinical change. It works on patterns that repeat rather than on one current problem.

A psychotherapist trains in psychological treatment rather than in medicine. What that training covers, and which approach a practitioner uses, differ between practitioners. Ask which approach a psychotherapist trained in, and how long they usually work.
