About Ashleigh

Ashleigh Brown helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression and relationship concerns using an integrative counselling approach. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-focused work. Ashleigh is a BACP member with six years' experience supporting clients in the United Kingdom.

Ashleigh draws on both counselling and psychology knowledge to explain how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking alongside exploring relationship patterns and attachment issues. She offers a mix of structured exercises and open conversation so people can find what helps them most.

She carries out clinical assessments and risk evaluations as part of early work together, and uses that information to agree an approach with each person. That assessment can include looking at sleep, eating, mood, coping strategies and any substance use relevant to recovery from addiction.

Ashleigh works with relationship and intimacy concerns by supporting clearer communication and by looking at underlying attachment dynamics. She also helps with career stress, caregiver strain, grief and life transitions through practical coping techniques and planning.

Her practice pays attention to neurodiversity and diverse sexual cultures, including autism, ADHD and kink or BDSM contexts. She aims to help people build resilience and improve day-to-day functioning through skills drawn from CBT, DBT and ACT.

Sessions are provided in English and Ashleigh accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are managed through a cancellable subscription. To start, users follow the site questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety and sleep problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns formed early in life and helps people understand how those patterns affect current relationships and intimacy issues.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions around work, travel or family commitments and reducing time spent commuting. Some people prefer a shorter, phone-based check-in when they need a quick session, while others find video sessions better for face-to-face conversation; confirm the available session formats before booking. Registered or accredited professionals on the site can help make therapy fit into everyday life without changing clinical standards.
