Catherine Asta

Catherine is an integrative psychotherapist turned writer, consultant, and community builder who creates and designs spaces that are more inclusive, more compassionate, and more human.

She works at the intersection of inclusion, neurodivergence, mental health, and trauma informed systems design.

She is the creator of The Late Discovered Club - the globally recognised podcast and community centering the voices of late discovered autistic women, listened to in over 125 countries.

With over two decades of leadership across healthcare, government, and private practice, she has led multi-million pound programmes, co-designed national NHS strategies, and pioneered trauma informed, peer led support spaces.

A two time breast cancer survivor, her work honours both science and soul, weaving therapeutic insight, nature and somatic wisdom, and grounded in deep compassion. Rediscovered (JKP, 2025) is her debut book - a courageous, heart led part memoir/part guide for late discovered autistic women and the people who walk beside them.

She has a Degree and MSc in Psychology, a Diploma in Effective Psychotherapy and CBT, along with a PGCert in Leadership, and is a graduate member of the British Psychological Society (BPS).
