Meet Evalynne
Hi, I am Evalynne Charmer the host for the Autistic Voices podcast series. I am the Founder and Director of Ed Elf Child Therapy Ltd, the UK's leading neurodivergent online therapy service, and the associated training company, The Child Hypnotherapy Institute UK.
I have worked with children, young people and families for over 38 years. I have worked in several roles including as an Assistant Head of a special needs school, where I was responsible for residential provision, safeguarding and compliance. I am presently a Paediatric Hypnotherapist and have a passion for helping autistic and neurodivergent children and young adults develop rich mental wealth and self esteem.
As an autistic 'Aspie' myself, I was diagnosed aged 53, and having worked with over 500 autistic children and adults in the last 7 years, I understand the lived experience greatly differs from person to person and this podcast series has been developed to bring awareness and understanding to many issues we face.
I would love you to listen to my podcast and help spread awareness.
