Dr Antonietta Pirillo

expert Clinical Psychologist

I am passionate about helping people overcome challenges in regard to their mental health and achieve their full potential. I offer interpersonal skills training to those who need or want to improve their communication and social skills, with or without a diagnosis of autism and/or mental health issues.

I specialise in Autism assessments and post-diagnostic support, working with young people and adults to help them understand the diagnosis, use their strengths and overcome the challenges they are facing with their relationships, work or mental health.

I also work with parents and carers of children with Autism, Learning Disabilities, ADHD to increase awareness and help them address behavioural and mental health difficulties.

I offer bespoke training packages to organisations to raise awareness and develop skills around Autism and mental health conditions.
