About Me

If you've found your way here, chances are something in your relationship feels stuck. Maybe you're going through the motions, having the same arguments on repeat, or simply feeling further apart than you used to. You're not failing - you're just at a point where you need a little help finding your way back to each other. 

I'm Ashley, a Relationship Therapist with over 20 years experience in supporting people and a genuine passion for helping couples reconnect. 

 

My path to this work wasn't straightforward - and honestly, I think that makes me better at it. I started out working with young people in schools, then life took a detour. I found myself redundant on my 30th Birthday, mid-maternity leave with my first child and sitting with a choice about what came next. I chose to come back to the work I loved and go deeper - completing a Masters to specialise in relationships. I spent 6 years at Relate and then built a private practice that has been thriving for over 10 years.

I'm a parent to three, navigating the beautiful and honestly difficult chaos of family life which means I understand - not just professionally, but also personally how much pressure modern relationships are under. 

What I bring to the room is warmth, honesty and a non-judgemental space where both of you feel heard. I'm not here to take sides or hand out unrealistic homework; I'm here to help you understand each other better.
