When past experiences still affect you
Someone who was criticised for reading slowly at school may now avoid contributing at work. A session might explore that experience and help them prepare a request for written instructions or extra processing time.
What sessions might explore
Depending on your situation, sessions may explore confidence, anxiety, self-advocacy and the effects of educational experiences.
Choosing support
Ask whether written forms, reading-heavy worksheets or timed exercises can be adapted. Ask about educational assessment, reasonable adjustments and specialist literacy support.

You can also explore neurodivergence and self-esteem.

Frequently asked questions
What does support for dyslexia involve?
It depends on your goals. Sessions may explore confidence, anxiety, self-advocacy and the effects of educational experiences; a practitioner should explain their approach and agree priorities with you.
When should I seek help with dyslexia?
If shame, anxiety or past school experiences are affecting work or relationships, counselling may help alongside specialist literacy support.
Can online counselling help with dyslexia?
Ask for instructions in the format you prefer. You can discuss anxiety online without being required to complete reading-heavy exercises.
Does counselling assess dyslexia?
No. Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty. A suitably qualified assessor can assess it. Counselling can address its emotional impact, while literacy support and adjustments address learning needs.
How do I choose a therapist for dyslexia?
Ask whether written forms, reading-heavy worksheets or timed exercises can be adapted.
What if counselling is not enough?
Ask about educational assessment, reasonable adjustments and specialist literacy support. You can ask a therapist about referrals and support that may be more appropriate.
What should I do if I need urgent help?
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999. In England, contact NHS 111 and select the mental health option for urgent mental health help. Veyro is not an emergency service.
