Hi, I’m Ash, a psychodynamic counsellor offering in-person and online therapy to adults across Manchester. My approach is based on the understanding that many of our present-day struggles are influenced by earlier experiences and unconscious patterns. In therapy, we’ll explore how these deeper influences shape your thoughts, feelings, and relationships, and how greater awareness can open the way for meaningful change.

I have worked in a variety of mental health settings and currently practise in a hospice, supporting people through bereavement and end-of-life experiences. This work has strengthened my commitment to creating a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can explore your emotions safely and at your own pace.

As a non-binary practitioner, I work affirmatively with LGBTQ+ clients, offering an inclusive space where identity and lived experience are respected and understood. My background in fine art has also shaped my interest in the symbolic and unconscious aspects of emotional life, where meaning often emerges beyond words.

My style is warm, reflective, and collaborative. I won’t offer quick fixes, but instead walk alongside you as we make sense of what you’re going through. I’m particularly drawn to existential themes such as identity, purpose, and loss, which often surface during times of transition or uncertainty. Together, we can work towards clarity, resilience, and lasting emotional growth.
