Hi, I’m Caleb. I’m a fully qualified integrative counsellor based in Plymouth, Devon. I have a diverse and extensive background in the support of people, my passion being to facilitate and nurture the exploration of ourselves, so that we can allow for more healing, clarity and connection in our lives.

Hello, my name is Lee Ash. I trust you have found me because you are going through a difficult time and are seeking support and a safe person to share your struggle with. I understand that reaching out to an unfamiliar person can be a challenging experience, so I will do my best to lessen any fears you may have about the counselling process through sharing information about myself and my counselling practice. The first thing I want you to know is that when you contact me I respond. I am very aware that when someone is seeking counselling they don’t want to wait too long for a response. So I make it a priority to make contact ASAP.

My passion is working with individuals to help them overcome obstacles and become a healthier, happier version of themselves. All of us struggle with mental health difficulties at some point in our lives and so I believe that therapy should be seen as an act of self-care, just like looking after our physical health. Addressing mental health concerns can be overwhelming and it may be difficult to know where to start. Working together with a therapist helps you to identify the cause of your problems and break these down into more manageable chunks. I provide a safe, supportive environment for you to start to make positive changes.

Life isn't a straight forward, easy process, it has its roller coaster of ups, downs and roundabouts, how do we maintain our focus on our everyday lives, we attempt to get on with it, but sometimes it can feel like an uphill struggle. We become overloaded, overwhelmed, stressed and irritable and sometimes our friends, family and colleagues notice our behaviour before we do. When we do realise that we need support, help, courage, whatever you chose to call it then we are half way there, the rest is looking for someone to share our difficulties and pressures with.

With much lived experience and qualifications in counselling and psychology, I am able to create a safe space for you to confide your difficulties and problems, inviting you to share what concerns you most and in return to provide you with compassion and acceptance.
