Through her personal experiences of youth pastoring, neurodivergence, mental health challenges, and motherhood, Ash developed a deep empathy for others and a passion for supporting wellbeing.
You can expect your counselling with Ash to be a safe, respectful space where you feel heard, understood, and valued. Counselling offers an opportunity to explore your experiences, develop insight, and mindfully shift unhelpful patterns of thinking or being toward approaches that better align with your strengths and values.
Her counselling experience has involved working with a diverse range of clients from teenagers to adults, across individual, couples, and group settings with various cultures and backgrounds.
Ash considers it a real privilege to walk alongside others in their journeys and uses a client-centred approach, drawing on strengths-based, cognitive behavioural (CBT), and narrative therapy tools – often with a touch of humour and ‘realness’.

What do Ash's clients say?
"Ash is so easy to talk to as she makes you feel heard. Her guidance in navigating conversation that can be very hard to discuss openly, makes it easy to get out and start unpacking how to grow through experiences and thoughts. Her tools that she gave me on how to process information on self reflection have/are helping me in my journey daily."
