Dr Alice Nicholls

Autistic Clinical Psychologist

Hi, my name is Alice, I’m an Autistic Clinical Psychologist with a special interest in Autistic Burnout. I’m based in the UK, hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and am registered with the Health Care Professions Council. I have always been drawn to working with Autistic people but I did not understand why until I had my Autism diagnosis confirmed in 2020.  

I experienced significant mental health problems as a teenager and young adult which were not well understood until I got my diagnosis and learned about Autistic Burnout.  

Since my diagnosis, I have specialised in helping other people to recover from, and prevent, Autistic Burnout. Initially I worked on a 1:1 basis, but due to a limited capacity and huge unmet need in the Autistic community I have developed an online course and community for late-discovered, high-masking Autistic adults who want to live more authentic, sustainable and fulfilling lives free from Autistic Burnout. I also share free resources, including a mini-course on how to break the cycle of Autistic Burnout from my website and mailing list. 

I live in Kent with my three young neurodivergent children and enjoy karate and crotchet.
