Dr Lizzie Kock

Profile

I am a Counselling Psychologist and a registered member of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

My qualifications are:

• B.Psych - Stellenbosch University, South Africa
• M.Phil - Community and Development, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
• Doctorate in Counselling Psychology - Middlesex University, UK

I am the lead clinician in two Adult Autism Services in London and have extensive experience in both Autism diagnostic assessment and in offering intervention.

In addition to clinical work, I published the following academic research:

• Kock, E., Strydom, A., & Tantam, D. (2019) The Impact of a Diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome on Women’s Expectations of Intimate Relationships. Advances in Autism
• Kock et al., (2012) Cross-Cultural Validation of a Measure of Felt Stigma in People with Intellectual Disabilities. Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disability
• Ali, A., Kock, E., Molteno, C., Mfiki, N., King, M. & Strydom, A. (2014) Ethnicity and self-reported experiences of stigma in adults with intellectual disability in Cape Town, South Africa. Journal of Intellectual Disability Research
• De-institutionalisation in South Africa: The Family Perspective - Presented at the 13th IASSID World Conference in South Africa in 2000

I frequently act as an external reviewer for academic journals and supervise doctoral research projects related to Autism.  Most recently, I supervised research which explored the topic of fathers with Autism.

I have worked in Child Protection Services, schools, Youth Offending Teams, and Talking Therapy Services.  These experiences have added to my knowledge of all the factors that could impact on a person's social abilities. Therefore, although I work as specialist in Autism, I draw on broader psychological knowledge when supporting others.
