Evidence-based approaches and flexible online support



Ashley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's situation. One common focus is skills-based work that helps clients develop practical coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and addictive behaviours - this involves building tools and routines that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. She also offers sensitive grief-focused support that provides space to process loss and the emotions that follow, helping people make meaning and find ways to carry on.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ashley collaborates with clients to determine what will work best based on their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts treatment plans and the pace of work so therapy feels manageable and relevant to the individual's life.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support around existing commitments and location constraints. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable while working with registered professionals and therapists.
