About Ashleigh
Ashleigh Brown is a BACP therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting concerns, and related struggles. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Ashleigh uses a blend of practical approaches to suit each person's needs. She often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift emotional patterns that affect relationships and attachment. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems alive.
In assessment and early sessions she will listen for what feels most urgent and then agree clear goals. Sessions include talking through recent situations, noticing emotional responses, and practising small changes to behaviour and thinking between meetings. She also undertakes risk assessments and structured counselling when concerns require them.
Ashleigh has a background in counselling and psychology which she uses to inform her work. Her practice covers a wide range of issues including sexual expression and kink, neurodiversity-related concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, eating and body image, and addiction recovery. She also supports people coping with life transitions and career stresses.
People who choose Ashleigh can expect straightforward, practical conversations and an emphasis on understanding emotional patterns. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book their first session through the service.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Ashleigh commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name hard-to-reach feelings and how those feelings shape relationship patterns. EFT focuses on emotional experience and attachment needs, which can be useful for couples and individuals dealing with intimacy and trust issues.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed steps even when feelings are difficult. ACT combines practical exercises with acceptance strategies to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to practise clearer ways of responding in day-to-day situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashleigh will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then use methods that fit the person's needs. This collaborative decision helps shape the plan for sessions and homework between meetings.
If you are considering online sessions, please check the therapist's profile to confirm which formats she currently offers. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments can work around school, work or caregiving commitments.
