Bio

Hi my name is Ashley. Thank you for looking at my profile and considering me as your therapist.

I am a fully qualified and accredited psychotherapist and mental health nurse. I help people struggling with their mental health through remote therapy and I would love to work with you.

Struggling with anxiety, OCD, stress, or negative thinking? I can help you find clarity, balance, and lasting change with person centred therapy. I will create a personalised treatment plan for issues including high-functioning anxiety, burnout, panic attacks, mood issues, and overcoming negative habits.

Using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) I can help you challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, identify positive behavioural strategies and regain control over your emotions.

Using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) I can supporting you in tolerating discomfort and committing to a life aligned with your values.

Using mindfulness practices I can guide you toward a more present and peaceful life.

Whether you feel stuck in stress, caught in negative cycles, or overwhelmed by life’s demands, therapy with me can help you break free and thrive.

So, ask yourself. Is this me?

Are you finding yourself worrying and overthinking? Feeling overwhelmed and stressed due to life changes? Do you appear ok on the surface but feel drained inside? Do you take no time for yourself, worry about the future and feel exhausted with the strain of negative thinking, uncertainty and feeling the need to do everything perfectly?

I can help!

I will trailer therapy to you as an individual and your goals. My approach is empathetic and collaborative. Together, we’ll explore the patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that are holding you back, and work towards creating meaningful, lasting change in your life.

It is important to find a therapist who is right for you so please take advantage of my free chemistry call.

I look forward to hearing from you! 

Experience

I have 12 years clinical experience in mental health. I am a mental health nurse by background and trained as a psychotherapist to expand my skills.

I have been providing CBT for over 2 years and I have completed successful therapy for anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety, high functioning anxiety, stress, burnout, anger and panic. 

My clients tell me I am easy to talk to, warm and down to earth which makes therapy feel less intimidating. At the heart of therapy with me is a non-judgmental and compassionate therapeutic relationship where you feel listened to and understood. I will work at your pace to explore the parts of your life that you wish to focus on. Let’s work together to help you live a calm, fulfilled and confident life.
