Kristie McMaster

Hi there.  My name is Kristie and I am a therapist with Autism Counselling.  I have been supporting people with my coaching and counselling skills for more than 20 years, and I love it!  I started to learn about Autism in the early 2000’s and through personal and professional experience, informal and formal education and training I have been learning about it ever since.  But there is always more to learn, which is why I started my Master of Counselling in 2018!  I love being a therapist, I am passionate about supporting individuals and families living with autism, and I look forward to working with you in the near future.
