About me

Hi I'm Ash, I offer integrative counselling that is shaped around you, recognising that everyone’s experiences, needs, and pace are different. My aim as a counsellor is to create a calm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe enough to be yourself, heard, and understood.

Working together, we can gently explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, helping you build greater self-awareness and understanding. We may also look at patterns, roles, and beliefs formed earlier in life that can continue to influence how you see yourself or relate to others.

 I can offer creative approaches such as art, projection cards, or sandtray, which can allow emotions and experiences to be explored in gentle ways that don’t rely solely on words. I also carry an interest in how games can be therapeutic.

My areas of focus are autism, ADHD and AuDHD, abuse, burnout, anxiety, and inner child healing. This is a combination of training, lived experience and personal connection which allows me to work with understanding and empathy of the challenges and psychological impact they may carry.

I am also able to support with experiences of grief, questions around identity, relationship difficulties, chronic health conditions such as fibromyalgia and M.E, loss, stress, overwhelm and depression.

I can help with;

  • Exploring identity, self-worth, and sense of self
  • Working through trauma
  • Supporting neurodivergent experiences
  • Processing grief, loss, and life transitions
  • Processing abuse
  • Healing childhood wounds
  • Improving relationships
  • Noticing patterns
  • Managing stress, overwhelm, and burnout
  • Anxiety and depression

If you’re considering counselling and would like to see whether we might be a good fit, you’re very welcome to book a free 20-minute consultation.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
