Rachael Lee Harris is a psychotherapist in private practice based in Brisbane with over 12 years' experience specialising in treating both adults and children with high functioning autism (HFA). She has authored several books on the subject, including a contemplative therapy designed for both adults and children with high functioning autism. Rachael provides a unique contribution to the field of autism therapy and research from her perspective as a woman who, herself, has been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. Rachael is the only psychotherapist in Australia with autism specialising in this field, building a powerful sense of rapport, born of a shared perceptual framework. Rachael's passion is to empower people on the autism spectrum through self-knowledge. Rachael's therapeutic theory and practice flow out of her 30 year fascination for depth psychology, and her focus on 'meaning making' within the autism community.
