KALEIDOSCOPE COUNSELLING SERVICES is a unique service, dedicated exclusively to primary care and programs of early intervention for children and adults with ASPERGER'S SYNDROME . Rachael Harris is a qualified counsellor (Dip. Prof Couns. M.A.C.A.) whose practice 'Kaleidoscope Counselling Services' is able to provide a unique contribution to Asperger Counselling Services from her perspective as a woman who, herself, has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and as the mother of a son also on the Autism Spectrum. Rachael is the first person in Australia with Asperger's Syndrome to qualify as a counsellor specialising in the area of Asperger's Syndrome, counselling both adults, children, their carers and partners, which, drawing on her life experiences, gives her a unique ability to bridge the Neuro-typical and Asperger perspective. Rachael's search for self understanding led to her travelling in Europe and living and working in England, exploring her creativity through experiences as diverse as Beauty Therapy and Monasticism. She is passionate about improving the quality of life for those on the Autism Spectrum and is dedicated to raising the awareness of Asperger's Syndrome in the wider community.   HOW WE CAN HELP RELATIONSHIPS ANXIETY MANAGEMENT ANGER MANAGEMENT CHILDHOOD ISSUES SELF WORTH GRIEF AND LOSS PARENTING PARTNERING SOCIAL SKILLS RELAXATION for STRESS KALEIDOSCOPE COUNSELLING SERVICES is dedicated to raising awareness of Asperger's Syndrome in the wider community by: CORPORATE PRESENTATIONS aimed at recognising the benefits associated with employees with Asperger's Syndrome.
