Post Discovery Support Circle (November Cohort)

Rediscovered Post Discovery Online Group Support Circle

A 6 week online zoom post discovery group circle for late discovered autistic women, wherever you are on your journey, and wherever you are in the world, and self-identification inclusive.

A place to share stories and experiences, explore your late-discovery journey and to connect with other late discovered women as part of your Rediscovered Journey.

We'll explore our experiences around themes such as late discovery, masking, burnout, the places that we go to when the world feels too much, when our bodies scream enough, along with our sensory, emotional and cognitive worlds and each week will be focused on a specific theme with the opportunity for all participants to talk about their own experiences - along with tools from Catherine's 'Rediscovered Toolkit'.

It’s peer support, therapeutically led by Catherine, with depth (but this is not therapy!)It's a shared space to exhale and belong, and with a private mighty online community space to support and build connection - both during the 6 week circle and beyond. We meet around a virtual fire, imagined, but deeply felt, where we explore what it means to rediscover ourselves with compassion and courage.

Each circle session grounded in gentle somatic practices and nature-rooted wisdom, with optional take away invitations each week including guided meditations, somatic and nature based practices, journaling prompts, artircles and tools.

It’s a space rooted in acceptance, belonging and connection - antidotes to the loneliness and grief that come with late discovery.

We are wired for connection, and when we sit in circle, we rewire the damage of disconnection. Healing happens not in fixing, but in witnessing, in holding space where every voice matters and every story belongs.

Hosted and facilitated by Psychotherapist Catherine Asta author of 'Rediscovered' a fellow late discovered autistic woman, and host of the nm 1 Podcast for 'Female Autism' in the world (by Feedspot).

Catherine has worked with 100's of late discovered autistic women in both groups and on a 1:1 with a decade of experience of working as a Pyschotherapist, and was awarded a 'Fellow' in 2019 for her commitment to her profession.

Catherine was a Trainer and Content Developer on the NHS National Autism Trainer Programme and has now trained 100's of adult community and inpatient mental health professionals.

She is a guest lecturer at UCL on creating neuro inclusive spaces and approaches in therapy for autistic people, and has co-authored a chapter in a book on the same subject alongside Dr Damien Milton which was published by Routledge in the Autumn of 2024.

Catherine's book 'Rediscovered - A Compassionate and Courageous Guide for Late Discovered Autistic Women (and their allies)' was published by JKP in February 2025 and is now available in paperback, audio and Ebook.

During the 6 weeks, and beyond, you will also get access to our Late Discovered Club Mighty Community Space with a dedicated private circle space carved out in there so that our circles can keep connected with each other both during 6 week circles and beyond, as well as connect with our other circles and wider community members.

Here's what some of our previous circle participants have said:

"I really have found it useful - its been really powerful for us to speak aloud some of our most painful and shameful experiences. I think the trust you’ve helped to build in this group, thanks to your holding such a safe space for us, has led to some lovely conversations in our circle, where we are sharing and asking for help in a very unique autistic way. My two words for this year are emerging and belonging - and I feel this group has helped me to gain those things, in particular belonging."

" I want to express my sincere gratitude for the sessions we've had. They have been truly remarkable, providing me with invaluable insights into myself. Thank you Catherine for your exceptional guidance, attentive listening, and unconditional support throughout this journey. Hearing others share their thoughts and stories have brought so much meaning to this experience."
