About Ashleigh

Ashleigh Brown is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, trauma and low self-esteem. She works in a direct, down-to-earth way so people can talk through what matters to them. Ashleigh draws on six years of experience and a background in counselling and psychology to support practical change.

She uses straightforward, individualised work rather than one-size-fits-all techniques. Conversations can cover coping skills, spotting unhelpful thinking, setting boundaries, or rebuilding after loss. Ashleigh encourages small steps that fit day-to-day life and values clear, collaborative goal-setting.

Her training in counselling and psychology informs her approach to emotional and behavioural patterns. She combines methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy with attachment-informed listening. This mix helps when people want tools for moods, relationships, or addictive behaviours.

Ashleigh has experience with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, grief, codependency, ADHD, chronic illness and body image. She also supports people facing career strain and compassion fatigue. Clients can expect practical techniques alongside space to reflect on deeper patterns.

She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP and works from the United Kingdom. People can start by using the site's Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Ashleigh works with several well-known approaches. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying out different behaviours to change mood and reactions. It is often used for anxiety, depression and patterns that keep repeating.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, called ACT, helps people notice what matters most to them and take small actions in line with those values, even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape present-day trust and closeness, which can help with intimacy and codependency concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose or combine methods that make the most sense. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around school, work or medical care. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and can arrange sessions that suit your schedule.
