“Therapy isn’t about fixing someone; it’s about empowering them to recognise their own strengths.”

In this debut episode of Your Voice Matters, host Asma Jacob, founder of Achievable Journey, shares her inspiring story and vision for the podcast. Joined by her friend Jude, Asma discusses her journey as a SEND Holistic Therapist, working with children and adults with special educational needs.

Asma reveals why she started this podcast: to create a safe space where the SEND and neurodivergent community can feel heard and validated. She explains how she empowers her clients by focusing on their unique strengths and building trust-based relationships, using techniques like Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), solution-based psychotherapy, and emotional freedom techniques.

In this episode, you'll learn about the core values behind Your Voice Matters and get a sneak peek into the powerful conversations to come.

Key Takeaways:

· Every individual is unique, and therapy should meet people where they are.

· Building a community is key to reducing isolation and fostering connection.

· “When you’ve seen one autistic person, you’ve seen one autistic person.”
