About Ashleigh
Ashleigh Brown helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, loss or big life changes. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. People often come to her when they need clearer thinking, steadier moods, or tools to manage day-to-day challenges.
Ashleigh trained in counselling and psychology and has six years of professional experience. She uses practical methods that match each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Sessions commonly focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and making manageable changes in daily life. Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She aims to help people understand patterns of thought and behaviour and try small, useful experiments between sessions.
The work is collaborative and paced to what someone can manage right now. Ashleigh has supported people with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, depression, eating and sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and the intersection of identity and sexuality.
She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. Therapy is offered through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary depending on location and the subscription plan chosen. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions to suit their needs.

How Ashleigh works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This happens through discussion, trying things out, and adjusting the plan as needed so it fits everyday life.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit moments for therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals often find that being able to meet remotely helps people maintain consistency and apply new skills between sessions.
