Many of my clients are struggling with anxiety, trauma, low mood, or emotional overwhelm. Some are processing past abuse or loss, while others feel stuck or disconnected and want to understand themselves better. You may be seeking relief, clarity, or a calmer mind. Whether you have clear goals or just need someone to talk to, I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where we can work at your pace. I primarily work with adult individuals and couples aged 18 and over. In some cases, I also see young people aged 14 and above. My trainee therapy dog Coco (puppy) may be present during sessions, unless you would prefer otherwise.

You feel exhausted, anxious, and stuck in a cycle of overthinking. Burnout has drained your energy, while self-doubt and perfectionism hold you back from living fully. You long for calm, clarity, and confidence—yet despite your best efforts, stress and worry keep creeping in. What you want is simple: to quiet your racing mind, feel in control of your emotions, and have the energy to show up for your life and relationships with strength, balance, and peace.

Hi, I'm Asher. I'm a queer therapist working online with LGBTQIA+ people across the UK, from my home near Newcastle upon Tyne. My practice is informed by lived experience of queerness, neurodiversity, disability and the mental health system. This includes personal experience of therapy that has been deeply helpful, practices that have caused harm, and many spaces in between. I’m also autistic and was diagnosed as an adult, so I have a particular interest in working with late-diagnosed, self-diagnosed and questioning non-neurotypical people.

I have been a Counsellor / Psychotherapist / Hypnotherapist for over 25years I specialised in the field addiction for many years. Working within addiction offered a wide and varied opportunity to work and become familiar with many client issues. Clients relying upon substances, use as a coping mechanism, however substance use causes further mental health issues which further complicates their ability to cope. I now work solely within private practice based at home where clients can relax in a confidential informal setting. This allows them time explore their own needs in a time frame which meets their own specific needs.

Are you struggling with life? Perhaps you are tired of feeling anxious, low or have experienced a difficult life event which you are struggling to cope with. Do you find yourself consumed by worries and unable to break out of a negative cycle? Would you like a safe non-judgmental confidential space to be heard, understood and find new ways of coping? If so, then counselling, CBT or EMDR may be able to help you find your way forward. I have experience of working with both adults and young people who experience difficulties ranging from anxiety, panic, OCD, worry, low-mood, grief, trauma to relationship difficulties.

If you think something in your past is continuing to impact you in a negative way. If you are constantly being triggered, if you have tried other talking therapies and are still being triggered, likelihood is that you have unresolved trauma and need EMDR. I have seen remarkable results in my clients in just a few sessions to really shift the feelings often trapped in the body. The feelings that put us on edge, make us jumpy and things we can't stop dreaming about and that keep us awake. Getting rid of these symptoms is what people want. I have years of experience in helping people with this and have seen the difference it makes.

As a qualified hypnotherapist I also teach relaxation and mindfillness meditation to those who want that extra dimension to their therapy.

I work with children, teenagers and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, low confidence and emotional overwhelm, including one-off incidents such as accidents or medical procedures.
I offer a calm, supportive space to make sense of what’s going on at a pace that feels manageable. Alongside psychotherapy, I offer EMDR to help process distressing experiences without needing to talk through everything in detail. Outdoor therapy can feel less pressured; working side by side, not sitting in a room and being able to incorporate movement.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
