Experiencing the loss of a parent in childhood shaped my path into counselling.
Many of the people I work with feel weighed down by constant worry, low mood, or the sense that they’re just not being heard or understood. You might notice your thoughts and emotions are affecting your work, relationships, and ability to cope day-to-day. I’m here to offer a calm, welcoming space where you can feel safe to share what’s on your mind – without judgment or pressure. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on for you, and I’ll walk alongside you as you begin to find ways forward that feel authentic and manageable for you.

Whether they are experiencing anxiety, low mood, bereavement, friendship difficulties or changes at home, my approach is patient, warm, supportive and tailored to each child’s individual needs.
I work with adults & children. Adults: You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or stuck in the same painful patterns in your relationships. Perhaps you overthink, doubt yourself, struggle with boundaries, or feel as though your past is still affecting your present. I offer a warm and welcoming place to help you understand what’s going on underneath these patterns, so you can build confidence, healthier boundaries, a stronger sense of self as well as skills and coping mechanisms that you can take away and use for life.

Ashton Gardner
Counsellor, MBACP
My experience has predominantly been with Neurodivergent clients, Bereavement and Loss, Panic, Anxiety, and Depression.
For you to be truly seen and heard, as you are, is my greatest priority. I offer warmth and welcome, without judgement or expectation. The decision to seek counselling can be confusing and difficult to navigate; often a decision that feels unfamiliar and vulnerable. Whilst this can be a scary place to start, my priority is to ensure you feel safe enough to explore your experiences together. I aim to facilitate a space which feels comfortable, and provides some certainty in its acceptance, compassion and warmth.  Whether you are looking to be heard and listened to, or you want to find solutions, I will be with you for every step.

These include grief and loss, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues, work related issues, stress, chronic illnesses, family and relationship issues, ADHD, PTSD, OCD and many others.
Deciding upon counselling-or even asking for help is not an easy step to take. When you feel ready to take that first step, I will help you take time out, by creating a safe environment where you will be seen, heard and can talk things through at your own pace. This really can make all the difference. You will find yourself in a warm, confidential and non-judgemental setting where we can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, especially those that may feel too difficult to share with friends or family. Your 50 minute session is personalised to meet your needs and focuses on what you would like to discuss.

Life brings all sorts of challenges and some can be much harder to overcome than others. Most adults can remember a time when they were dealing with a situation so tough that everyday living became more challenging than usual. For children and young people, who have not had time to develop their own coping strategies, such situations are even more difficult to cope with. Many children who are having a difficult time do not know what it is that they are feeling and cannot put it into words. Counselling for children and young people might be slightly different to the traditional idea of therapy you may have in mind.

Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re used to coping on your own. You might be functioning on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that are getting you down. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone and you don’t have to carry it by yourself. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others. You may have an idea of what feels wrong, but feel unsure how to move forward, or whether change is possible.

Time4Hope has been established during my 18 years of working with parent/carers who have children/young people with Complex, Profound, Autistic and Life Limited Disabilities. My goal during counselling is to reduce the severe distress often experienced by parents, when trying to meet their children's high and challenging needs. Counselling can identify the causes of pressures and develop new strategies to build stronger resilience. I also counsel children and adults with a range of struggles such as low-self esteem and confidence. Together we will explore the experiences that have created this and undo unhelpful patterns.

Bereavement Counsellors
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
