Hey, I'm Ash, a LGBTIAQ+ and neurodiverse affirming Counselling Psychologist. I am fiercely dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming space for all of my clients. When I think of therapy, I think of us as the "co-pilots" on this journey, except you're driving and I am here with the GPS (and snacks). I am approachable with a knack in also finding the moments of joy and humour within the complexities of life. It is important to remember that we are more than just our challenges and difficulties.

I understand that the act of creating can often breakthrough the limitations of language, allowing for you to have deeper expression of emotions that may be difficult to articulate verbally. Art therapy provides a unique and powerful way to explore your inner world, develop self-awareness, and work towards positive change in a supportive and in a non-judgmental environment. My goal is to help my clients develop the tools and skills they need to manage life's challenges and achieve their goals.

Imagine feeling truly understood, supported, and empowered to create the life you want. My ideal client is someone navigating the challenges of trauma, ADHD (diagnosed or undiagnosed), or the ripple effects of difficult relationships. Perhaps you’re struggling to manage overwhelming emotions, feeling stuck in self-doubt, or finding it hard to focus on your goals. You might be seeking clarity in your relationships, striving for confidence in your decisions, or simply wanting to feel more in control of your life. I get it—it can feel exhausting to carry these struggles on your own.

I take a relaxed, down-to-earth approach to my practice, and there’s really no topic that’s off-limits. I’m a big believer in the mental health benefits of spending time in nature, and I’m always up for a laugh—plus, I’m not fazed by a bit of swearing. With a long background in the performing arts, I have a deep understanding of the pressures, anxieties, and other mental health challenges that can come with high-stress environments. I’m especially passionate about supporting people at the end of life, but I’m equally dedicated to helping anyone work toward a sense of peace and purpose, wherever they are on their journey.

My ideal client would prefer therapy outside in nature, instead of in a clinical consulting room! They know that time in nature is a big part of how they self-regulate, but are struggling to incorporate it. They may be burnt out, anxious, depressed, neurodiverse, or simply feeling lost. Their painful thoughts, feelings, past experiences, and patterns of behaviour are interfering with their path. They would like a supportive therapist to walk alongside them as they figure it out; someone to provide some nudges of direction and new skills, but also trust them to use their internal resources and personal values to guide their way.
