Practitioners: Ashley Youngs, Tim Anderson

Ashley Rose Youngs MNCPS(acc.) and Tim Anderson  MSc MBACP    

Integrative counselling with is a way that adapts to each individual, recognising that everyone’s experiences, needs, and pace are different. Sessions provide a calm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood. Counselling can help in developing greater awareness of thoughts, feelings, and experiences, while also exploring patterns, roles and beliefs formed earlier in life that may continue to influence relationships or sense of self. In sessions with Ashley, creative approaches such as art, projection cards or sandtray can also be used to explore emotions and experiences in alternative ways. Our therapeutic work is collaborative and paced to support self-awareness, understanding, and meaningful change.

Together, you can explore difficult emotions, understand unhelpful patterns, build resilience and develop healthier ways of coping.

The aim is not simply to manage symptoms, but to support lasting emotional wellbeing and help you move towards a more fulfilling life.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a gentle, trauma-informed therapy that helps access and process experiences stored deep within the brain and nervous system.

Sometimes difficult experiences become "stuck," leaving us feeling anxious, emotionally reactive or overwhelmed, even when we understand intellectually why we feel the way we do. Brainspotting works by identifying specific eye positions that connect with these unresolved experiences, allowing the brain to process them naturally at its own pace.

Many people find Brainspotting helpful for:

Unlike therapies that rely solely on talking, Brainspotting allows healing to occur beyond conscious thinking, making it particularly valuable for experiences that are difficult to put into words.

Sessions take place in a safe, supportive environment, with the process guided carefully according to each client's comfort and readiness.
