Hi, I’m Ash. I’m a Clinical Psychologist experienced in working with trauma, anxiety, shame, psychosis, and addiction to name a few. I have worked across various clinical settings both in the community and inpatient.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies. I have worked within the NHS and externally, supporting individuals, couples and families. I am proud to work alongside those with different identities, cultures and beliefs.
Whether we meet in person or online, I offer a safe, supportive space for you to explore your experiences at a pace that feels right for you, without judgment.
I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Rather than following a one-size-fits-all model, I work collaboratively with you to find an approach that feels supportive, meaningful, and accessible.
I appreicate how important it is to find the right person to support you through difficult times.
I'm always happy to speak by phone first, offering a free brief call to share more about my practice and better understand your hopes for working together.
