Ashleigh Brown is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people handle stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

Ashleigh draws on Narrative practice alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape conversations. She adapts what she uses to each person's situation rather than following one fixed method.
Background and approach
Sessions centre on listening, re-telling difficult experiences, and mapping small steps that feel possible to take between meetings. Her background includes an academic grounding in counselling and psychology and six years of professional work with adults. That experience has involved assessment and structured counselling for issues such as trauma, addiction recovery, mood difficulties and relationship problems.
She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Ashleigh aims to help people notice strengths and build practical skills for everyday life. She encourages clients to notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses and practice changes between sessions.
Work can include short-term goals or longer-term exploration depending on what each person prefers. To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first session.

Online session options
How Ashleigh’s approaches work in online therapy
Ashleigh often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult stories and identify moments of strength. Narrative work focuses on the meaning given to events and can help with trauma, relationship issues and identity concerns.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasises values-based action and simple exercises to reduce avoidance. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with cravings or strong urges. Attachment-Based ideas inform her focus on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when communication or closeness feels difficult.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences, and adjusts methods as those needs change over time.
Session formats are not detailed in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer slots for deeper conversations; Ashleigh will help match the session length and pace to what works best for the individual.
