Ashley Smith

I currently have space for online or outdoor sessions - hours are flexible, including weekends. 

Exploring Your Story

Counselling is a powerful space to explore and understand the narrative that shapes you. I will encourage you to examine what has influenced your path, the patterns that guide you, and the areas that need healing. This process goes beyond self-reflection; it invites you to see how you relate to the world around you and to define your place within it.

Empathy and Connection

I believe that each person’s story is unique, rich, and deeply meaningful. My approach is grounded in empathy, with a commitment to truly understanding you as an individual. Your experiences, thoughts, and feelings will be valued and respected, providing a foundation for a trusting and genuine therapeutic relationship.

Online or In-Person

I currently offer sessions online, or in person via nature walks.

At the heart of my approach to therapy is the belief that meaningful healing begins with a trusting, authentic relationship. I use an integrative approach, tailoring sessions to each client’s unique needs and drawing from a wide range of counseLling modalities, including person-centred therapy, transactional analysis, gestalt, existential methods, and evidence-based CBT techniques. This flexibility allows me to address the complexities of each individual’s experience. Above all, my priority is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel deeply heard and supported as we work together toward growth, understanding, and lasting change.

Our first session will be an opportunity for me to get to know you and to develop a greater understanding of what it is you are hoping to achieve from coming to therapy. You are of course welcome to ask any questions you may have about me or the therapeutic process and hopefully we will set the foundations for our sessions moving forward.
