Anchor - Horizon Counselling.
Find your anchor - Discover your horizon.
AH Counselling offers a safe harbour for discovery and growth.
Anchor-Horizon Counselling offers a therapeutic space for you to navigate life's challenges and explore whatever may be on your mind.
Just as an anchor provides grounding, and a horizon offers potential direction, my counselling services are designed to help you find peace and purpose. There will never be any judgement, and there is no topic, thought, or feeling that cannot be explored.
Together, we will work through whatever brings you to counselling, where you aspire to go next, and what you hope to achieve for your future.
My approach focuses on two core principles:
Finding your inner anchor and discovering your personal horizon.
Whether you want to access counselling as an individual, couple or with a family member, we can explore what brings you to AH counselling in a safe space that is completely dedicated to your needs.

My approach to therapeutic counselling:
I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor specialising in using a person-centred approach. I have trained in integrative modalities and different types of therapeutic support, including Psychodynamic, Humanistic and CBT, ACES, & Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I believe that counselling can truly change lives and my goal is to be able to provide you with a safe space to explore anything that you wish to. I have over 10 years experience specifically working within Social, Emotional and Mental Health, supporting both adults and children, and their family members. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust is essential for supporting you and your loved ones move forward, and our work will focus not only on your relationship with others, or life events, but most importantly yourself.
Clients can expect consistency based on congruence, empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, and I hope to be able to support you in embracing self-reflection, finding stability and achieving growth. I am here to get to know you and walk alongside you on your therapeutic journey, even if the destination is still unknown. Feeling better and finding clarity is possible, and having the life that you want is achievable. If you are ready to talk, then I am here to listen to you...
Challenges that I can help you with:
Whether it is low mood or anxiety that brings you here, worries about being who you want to be and not knowing how, difficulty with a relationship or feeling heard, bereavement or loss that you are struggling to come to terms with, a traumatic event that seems to have a hold over you, or intrusive thoughts that impact your daily life, I am here to help. I have a degree in Psychology and Criminology, and extensive experience working within Criminal justice, Recovery and Rehabilitation services, Bereavement and Loss, Domestic abuse and Resettlement support, & within Education, specialising in neurodivergence, family support, mediation & conflict resolution. I am BACP registered, fully insured and bound by the ethical framework to ensure safe and ethical working practice. Whatever is on your mind, or perhaps in your heart... Even a feeling that you cannot quite put into words just yet, and you would like to talk it through, I am here to listen and ensure you feel heard.
One of my favourite quotes & some testimonies from valued clients:
"When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on. It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens, how confusions that seem irremediable turn into relatively clear flowing streams when one is heard." (Carl Rogers, 1980)

"I finally feel like I'm moving forward after months of feeling stuck. You have helped me to find the answers to my own questions. Thank you, Ashley."

Building your inner anchor
This phase is all about grounding and stability. We will work together to help you create a safe place within yourself, so that you don't get swept away by life's struggles and explore what may be stopping you from being able to manage, or be truly congruent with yourself and your world.
Discovering your horizon
Once you feel safe and stable, we'll explore your future potential and what you hope to achieve. This phase focuses on growth and what you want now, or next in life. I will help you to look forward to tomorrow and beyond with new perspective and purpose.
