As we are thrown into the thick of life, it is our response to these circumstances which reveal who we are and where we may want to go. As life is anything but a linear process - we may often stumble or get stuck along the way. We may even describe the stumbling blocks as anxiety, depression, numbness or even shame. Some of our work could involve examining those stumbling blocks and challenging your ideas, choices and reasoning processes. I encourage you to remain open to all aspects and stimulate you to consider ones often overlooked.

Do you find yourself struggling with feelings of disconnection and anxiety, uncertain about the reasons behind your emotions? Are you exhausted with overthinking, constant self-criticism, difficulty relaxing, and never feeling good enough. Are you a new mum, a seasoned mum, or an empty nest mum? Life's transitions can leave us questioning our identity, purpose, and feeling lost in the whirlwind of emotions. Or you are experiencing the loss of a loved one? One of the most life-changing events. I provide a confidential and safe place for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Hello, I'm Ashlyn. I am a warm and approachable counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work collaboratively with clients to help them understand their problems. Using an integrative approach, I combine various methods to cater to each person's unique needs. I believe a one-size-fits-all method isn't effective, so I tailor my approach to each individual. As your therapist, my role is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration, rather than provide answers.

I am also British, Asian, a European Muslim, a female, a wife, a daughter, a mother, a sister, an aunt, a friend, a colleague, a neighbour and as well as a counsellor, therapist and many more.... I believe who we are and who we think or believe we should be are not one and the same. I believe in today’s complex world of information overload, we can have many identities and that's okay. However, this can sometimes be overwhelming or confusing, leading to frustration and difficulties in living life full
