About me
I am a HCPC registered and BPS chartered Clinical Psychologist offering psychological therapy for adults, individuals 16 + and couples experiencing mental health and psychological difficulties. I have a wide range of experience, having worked in the NHS for over 15 years as well as working independently. During my time training and working as a Clinical Psychologist, I have developed a particular interest in working with autistic people or those who are otherwise neurodivergent, providing specialist diagnostic assessments, including Autism and ADHD assessments, consultation, coaching and therapy.
As Autism can present differently in women than men, I have adapted the way I conduct assessments accordingly, which includes exploring the degrees to which individuals use camouflaging techniques and masking as a way of coping. I work closely with Autism Somerset CIC .
One of my last posts working within the NHS as a Clinical Psychologist was within an ASD Specialist Service. My approach is integrative, drawing from a range of psychological theories and models to provide evidence-based practice, and very much tailored to the individual needs of the clients.
Working together
​​​
I offer both remote and in-person sessions, depending on the type of work we're doing.
Consultations and follow-up sessions are typically held remotely via secure video platforms, such as Zoom, offering flexibility and comfort for many clients.
Autism and ADHD assessments can be delivered either remotely or in person, depending on your preferences and clinical needs. In-person appointments are offered at locations in Taunton and Langport.
Remote appointments are conducted via secure video platforms, such as Zoom, offering greater flexibility in scheduling, particularly during the day and afternoon. Many people find this format helpful — it reduces travel time and can feel more comfortable, particularly for those who experience anxiety or sensory overload.
​
In-person sessions are available at therapy rooms in Taunton and Langport:
-
The OCD Treatment Centre, Creech Castle, Bathpool, Taunton, TA1 2DX
-
Riverside Counselling Services, Old Kelways, Somerton Road, Langport, TA10 9EF
Hybrid options (a combination of remote and face-to-face) may also be possible depending on your needs.
I see self-funding clients and am also registered with several health insurance providers, including AXA-PPP, Vitality, and WPA.
If you’d like to explore the possibility of working together, the first step is to get in touch via email at eatonkorinna37@gmail.com to arrange an initial 15–20 minute phone consultation.
This gives us a chance to talk through your needs and whether I may be a good fit — either for yourself or someone in your family.

Psychological Therapy
Psychological therapy
​
In therapy, you will find a safe, non-judgmental environment in which you can speak openly and confidentially about whatever is concerning you. The first session or two might involve telling your story and the background to the issues you want help with. We will then work together to gain a deeper understanding of these concepts. We will attempt to determine which factors, past and present, may be contributing, and identify and strengthen the positives and resources you already possess.
​
Together, we will develop a theory or map (called a psychological formulation) that will help us decide which steps to take to help you move forward and achieve your goal.
I am experienced in many theories and models (e.g. attachment, cognitive, behavioural, trauma-focused and attachment focused approaches) I use knowledge from these models to help us to understand your situation/difficulties and possible ways forwards. This is called an “integrative and eclectic” approach to working, and is particularly suitable for those seeking an individually tailored therapy. I have found this way particularly useful for neurodivergent individuals, for example, who are autistic or have ADHD.
​
Sessions are weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on what is agreed upon following the initial assessment sessions. Some of the neurodivergent people I work with have found it most beneficial to have weekly sessions initially, and then transitioned to fortnightly sessions. Again, this fits with my individually tailored approach to therapy.
​
Post Diagnostic Consultations
Consultation Session
Sometimes, what we need is not traditional therapy, but space to reflect, plan, and move forward.
My consultation sessions offer just that. These one-off or occasional sessions are designed to support you in navigating your neurodivergent identity post-diagnosis. Together, we explore the questions that matter to you: •
-
What does my diagnosis mean for me?
-
How has masking shaped my experiences?
-
Am I experiencing autistic burnout?
-
How can I prepare for transitions, such as starting college, university, or a new job? ​
-
What helps me regulate my emotions and sensory needs without feeling overwhelmed?
-
How can I communicate my needs and boundaries more clearly — at work, home, or in relationships?​
You name it — we can explore it. These sessions are not therapy. Instead, they bring a coaching-style, solution-focused approach to help you build insight, confidence, and practical strategies that fit your life.
Consultation sessions are available as one-offs or in a series.
They may also support family members or professionals who wish to gain a better understanding of neurodivergence.
Autism and ADHD Assessments
​
For adults and young people aged 16+
I offer specialist diagnostic assessments for Autism and ADHD. These can be delivered online, in person, or using a hybrid approach, depending on your needs and preferences.
Who I Work With
• Adults and young people aged 16+
• For younger children, a multidisciplinary approach is usually needed. This is typically available through NHS teams or other independent providers.
What the Process Involves
1. Screening Questionnaires
You’ll complete a set of screening forms before we meet to review the results and discuss whether a full assessment is the right next step.
​
2. Diagnostic Appointments
Up to two sessions are used to gather your developmental background and complete the assessment:
– Autism: ADOS-2, MIGDAS, or ACA-I
– ADHD: DIVA-5 or ACE+
​
3. Draft Report & Review
Once your draft diagnostic report is complete, I’ll share it with you to review and check for factual accuracy.
Medication (ADHD only)
At present, I offer diagnostic assessments only for ADHD. However, I’m exploring a referral pathway for those considering medication as part of their ADHD care. Watch this space for updates.
Fees
Assessment Package Fee: Price on Application

Make an enquiry
What personal information will I need to share to enquire about therapy?
I will ask for your contact details including a phone number and an email address in order to correspond with you. I will also ask for an overview of your current difficulties which will help me to make a decision on whether I may be able to see you for therapy or not. A hard copy of the full Privacy Statement and consent form will be provided if we proceed to arranging an appointment.
What happens to my personal information if I am not suitable/do not attend an assessment?
If I cannot offer you therapy I will sign post you to a colleague who might be more suitable. I will not share your details with anyone else. Once you have been linked to someone who can help you I will then delete any email correspondence from you as I will have no further lawful reason to retain it.
​
Is it safe to email information to you?
Email is not considered a secure medium of correspondence so please keep sensitive information to a minimum using this method of contact. Doing so is allowed but is at your own risk. It it recommended to encrypt word documents attached to emails.

Reviews
"We want to thank Korinna for all she has done for our son and our family, she enabled us to understand, manage and move forward from what a situation that we all felt stuck in. The University were able to use the diagnosis that our son is on the autism spectrum, based on Korinna's detailed report and have allocated him hall accommodation and assistance if it is needed."
​
"Korinna provided excellent support and advice and good clear direction for us at a difficult time. We were really impressed by her expertise in autism and the practical benefits this provided for our son and our family as a whole" Anon
"I first contacted Korinna when I was at a very low point in my life. I had been diagnosed with high functioning ASD (Asperger's Syndrome) aged 25 and was suffering with depression, severe anxiety and unable to work. I met regularly with Korinna for a few months and I was always comfortable talking to her. I never felt that she would give up on me, despite my 'glass half empty' mentality. There have been plenty of ups and downs, and I still suffer with anxiety, but I'm in full time work now and coping with things that I didn't think possible. Korinna helped me to go forward."
