About Ashleigh
BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. Six years' experience working with adults on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression and relationship issues. Ashleigh Brown describes her practice as integrative and client-centred, drawing on practical psychological ideas and structured counselling methods to help people manage current problems and cope with life changes.
Ashleigh uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. She works with cognitive tools to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns are important. Sessions can include assessment and structured planning alongside conversational work.
Her background in psychology informs how she explains feelings and behaviour in clear terms. That knowledge is used to set goals and to choose techniques that fit what a person needs right now. Ashleigh also lists experience with issues such as self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD-related coping.
The profile links wider focus areas to practical concerns: communication problems, commitment issues, body image, carer stress and chronic illness among them. She notes work around adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and alternative-sex culture topics such as BDSM and kink in contexts where those are relevant to the person.
Ashleigh accepts international clients and runs work in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and to schedule a first session via the online counselling options button.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Ashleigh uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy among other approaches. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps that match those values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.
Session formats are not detailed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel and family commitments, and can reduce time spent on commuting. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone-based conversations when that suits a person better.
