Lucy Sanctuary, MSc

I am a Highly Specialist Speech & Language Therapist (SLT), a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Practitioner (CBT), and ADOS-2 practitioner and certified independent Trainer. I specialise in working with autistic children/young people and their families and I have considerable experience of assessing and working with young people with a wide range of co-morbid conditions, e.g., anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD).

I am an experienced ADOS-2 clinician and certified independent trainer, and I am often on the panel with US ADOS-2 trainers for GAIN reliabilty workshops. I work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to provide autism assessments for all ages. I strongly believe in joint working and provide post-diagnostic support and family-focused adapted cognitive behaviour therapy for autistic young people, and I work therapeutically with young adults.

I am neurodivergent and understand lived experience as a professional, a parent and a person.
