About Ash

Hi, I'm Ash. I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I provide a warm and down-to-earth space for those who feel like they are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. Whether you are feeling burnt out, lost between cultures, or simply tired of trying to be "perfect" for everyone else, I am here to listen without judgment. I want you to feel seen and heard for who you truly are, in a space where you don't have to "perform" or hide your struggles.

What I can help with

In our sessions together, I aim to understand your world as a whole, rather than just the issues you are facing. This allows us to look at why certain patterns keep recurring and understand the roots of any distress or discomfort you feel.

I won't try to fit you into a box; instead, I work alongside you to figure out what works best for your unique life. Together, we will develop healthier coping mechanisms and build the self-awareness needed to create an environment for positive change.

My training and experience

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Nottingham and an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Derby. Before moving into full-time therapy, I spent four years working in an international school in Thailand as a Teaching Assistant and Special Educational Needs (SEN) Learning Support.

Clinical Experience — I have worked extensively within the charity sector, supporting individuals navigating substance and alcohol use, childhood trauma and its impact on adult life, and complex emotional distress.

Working with Students — I have a particular interest and experience in supporting university students with performance anxiety, procrastination and chronic stress, and identity and belonging.

My story

I grew up moving between worlds, leaving Thailand when I was very young. For a long time, I felt like I had to peel away layers of my Thai self and leave pieces of my identity behind just to blend in or meet the expectations around me. This kind of grief is quiet — it's the feeling of mourning the person you might have been if you hadn't always been forced to change. My work is about exploring those lost roots and finding ways to soothe the ache of displacement, helping us grow even when 'home' feels hard to define.
