About Ashleigh

Ashleigh Brown is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, and issues around self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Ashleigh uses practical, evidence-informed methods drawn from psychology. She blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. In sessions she listens, helps people make sense of patterns, and lays out clear steps to try between meetings.

She often supports people dealing with blended family issues - for example stepparenting, merging routines, loyalty conflicts and co-parenting with an ex. Ashleigh explains options for managing everyday tensions and improving communication rather than giving legal or custody advice.

Her background includes academic training in counselling and psychology and clinical work across a range of settings. That experience informs basic assessments, risk considerations and structured counselling when needed. She aims to be straightforward about goals, next steps and what each session will cover.

People who choose Ashleigh can expect focused, practical sessions that name problems and test ways of changing them. She works collaboratively to set small, achievable goals and to track progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Ashleigh commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on identifying values, accepting difficult feelings and taking small actions that align with what matters. It can help with anxiety, low mood and making behavioural changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early experiences influence responses now. This approach can be useful for people wanting to change how they relate to partners, manage loyalty conflicts, or build clearer boundaries within blended households.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Ashleigh will discuss what feels helpful, review progress and adjust methods to fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That means trying approaches in practical ways and choosing what to continue based on what works.

The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find remote sessions useful for consistent contact while they manage parenting, work and other daily demands.
