She draws on multiple approaches to match what each person needs. This includes narrative work that looks at life stories and how they influence feelings and actions.
In sessions she aims to make complicated things simple. Conversations focus on concrete patterns, moments that matter, and small changes that make daily life easier. Expect a calm tone, direct feedback, and practical ideas you can try between meetings.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
How narrative and attachment work translate to online sessions
Ashley integrates Narrative Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that suit talk-based work. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate the person from the problem so new choices become possible. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and helps people notice and change repeated reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, review what has and hasn’t helped, and suggest methods to try together. If something doesn’t fit, you and the therapist can adjust the approach and try other tools until you find what works for you.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins around work or caregiving. It also lets people choose whether to use video or another format when that helps them engage more comfortably. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your routine and goals so sessions can be arranged in a practical way.
